Could use a content section

This article gives some background and a very basic explanation of what it is, but it lacks even a fundamental description of its content. 166.182.250.207 (talk) 20:43, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps the reason the article only gives the most basic outline of the Course is became no one knows what it is talking about? But if anyone is able to shed light on the Course - or the 'thinking' behind it - please do so! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.166.189 (talk) 09:12, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect or gross distortions

This is shockingly inaccurate. It contains literally the exact opposite of the truth. I can only imagine the author is on a specific mission to distort every aspect of ACIM. I don't know the motivation, but it appears plenty of time has been devoted to it! I'm not willing to devote an equal amount of time correcting it. Those who want the truth, will find it.

Yet another neo-Gnostic sect, like Theosophy, Anthroposophy, Samael Aun Weor, etc., etc. Wikipedia follows mainstream WP:SCHOLARSHIP, it does not pander to the piety of WP:FRINGE religious movements. tgeorgescu (talk) 00:35, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Claptrap

I have reverted original research. It was sheer claptrap. People who think that Wikipedia could affirm that a text was written by the Holy Spirit have smoked too much pot. tgeorgescu (talk) 00:49, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Journalist

Matthew Remski passes WP:N. If you think he doesn't, this is not the place to argue that, instead you should submit his article for deletion. Do I like yoga? No, but it's a free country. People don't have to ask for my permission in order to practice yoga. tgeorgescu (talk) 14:25, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Then again: what if ACiM is a book of lies?

What if it contains many harmful ideas?

And what if it willfully sets out to mislead?
