Is it wrong to say that some interpretations may be closer to the truth and therefore more accurate and beneficial than others? Ra was pretty quick to point out that certain interpretations were incorrect. I guess this brings up the whole topic and debate of moral relativism.
That's a very good question. I've seen it done, by moderators. Apparently it's ok to do that, as long as one's interpretation is the popular one.
Yes, this does bring up a very deep topic of moral relativism. Who gets to decide? And isn't that a hallmark of religion, when 'authorities' decide which is the 'correct' interpretation and tell others what to believe?
There are certain tenets of the Law of One that are considered established. I've seen moderators reiterate these points as a given.
Again: Who gets to decide?
