Just to be clear, I was not calling you a fundamentalist, I was referring to nowheretorun1984 aka chris white. The quotes you gave trying to link Blavatsky to satanism are the same as his. And they are wrong.
I also was not trying to pick a fight, if we we're discussing this over that beer that would be much more clear, I mean nothing personal, despite how it may sound after I type it, the problem with text only communication...
The reason I know you have not read Blavatsky is because you have a negative opinion of her. If you had read her you more then likely wouldn't, and you would certainly know how wrong it is to accuse her of satanism.
Myself... I won't even type the name of the being who you accuse Blavatsky of worshipping, let alone capitalize it. If I thought that this was Blavatskys' goal I would NOT have a high opinion of her.
So I ask why do you think Blavatsky is a con women when you have not read one of her books? She does not tell people what they want to hear (as you say), in fact this is why she is so controversial, because she did just the opposite. Her writings are also heavily sourced with references from many of the ancient greek scholars, and others, not much of what she writes about is her opinion, it is sourced.
She is of course also human, I don't agree with everything she says, and she makes mistakes like anyone else. At times while reading her I questioned her motives, but at the end of the day, her quest for truth and passion for love are what made me know her heart was in the right place.
It is also important to take into account that she was living in the 19th century, which is a whole other world compared to today.
So again I did not label you, if you read my post carefully you will clearly see that, like you I respect anyone elses opinions and choices, but when I see someone making what is cleary false statements about another person I will speak up, and I don't care who it is that is getting mis-quoted. Everyone deserves respect.
If you read her your opinion will change, Isis Unvieled is a good starting point... she doesn't bite and you can of course choose not to believe her, but give her a chance, since you have such a solid opinion of her its only fair to read her works no?
I agree with you about the camelot interviews, not many at all sit well with me either.

I do not want to pick a fight here, I was just expressing my views but it is not my problem why you are starting with labeling me and putting etiquettes on me. That is the problem with some people, that they never read to the end what someone actually said. I do not acuse you of doing that but you are surely not helping with that attitude. Jordan Maxwell said some interesting things but surely he DID not read the Bible or he read it portionally because I was watching some of his lectures where he started to quote from Bible but when you check what he speak about, there are not those verses in the Bible! Also Jordan tends to tell stories which are preety colored if you know what I mean, he tends to add details or even whole passages to sound more convincible than he really are. Again I am ot acusing him but rather he sounds silly and prepotent sometimes. He does have a portion of real info but also a huge portion of blunt lies mixed with myths and legends.
If you noticed in Camelot interveiws in last year many speakers do not really apreciate some other speakers, why? Maybe because some of the Camelot speaker are full of ****... Truly great info was shared so far on Camelot and I respect all but there are many con artists and others who by their interview want a piece of publicity here.
Madam Blavatsky- basically all her work was of esotheric kind.
Again how do you know that I did not read her works???
I do not have any special opinion about her and her works, I think she was a con woman. Telling the things people would like to hear...
And please do not label me any more here if you want my respect. I did not sunscribe on this forum to insult or be insulted by fast-to-jump-to -conclusion folks. I respect everybody and lay my opinion honestly, if you do not agree with me-fine - you have a right to do so. BUT you do not have a right to insult or letting down others who are not in your line of thinking...that is the thing I DO NOT tolerate.
Peace now? 
Beer later
