Talk:Dr. Dahesh

From what I know, Dr. Dahesh was against organized religions and he was fighting those organizations. Knowing the corruptions that arose from organized religions, Why would he then instruct for Dahishism to become another organized religion? I hope someone can answer this question for me. This article is obviously biased! This is promoting a religion without the views of skeptics included.

In reply to the unsigned claim above, I'm not personally aware that he, (Dr. Dahesh), instructs for (Dahishism (sp)) to become another organized religion. I knew the man for over 25 years, witnessed his miracles, read his books, and believe in him as my guiding prophet, and I never heard him talk about organizing a religion, like the organized religions of our time. He has a great spiritual message of salvation, and a life worth reading about. His style and ideas remind me of another genius from Lebanon, Kahlil Gibran, who wrote The Prophet, The Forerunner, Khalil The Heretic, Jesus the Son of Man... and others. Dr. Dahesh has quite an impressive legacy in Lebanon and beyond. In NYC there is a (jewel box) of a museum that houses his art collection Dahesh Museum of Art, and there is also a publishing company named after him Dahesh Heritage & the Daheshist Publishing Co.located in the Newsweek building on Columbus Circle, so far they've printed and published over 150 books by and about him, and they also publish a fine bilingual (Arabic-English) periodical called Dahesh Voice. That magazine has several contributors with impressive literary backgrounds, from professors at Ivy league universities, to poets, medical doctors, thinkers and cultural figures from around the Middle East and beyond.
