The relevant fact is that we don't need to take doctrinal positions,

The Buddha took doctrinal positions.

...browbeat or manipulate emotionally others and/or ourselves and call that " practicing Buddhism ". Like I said, that is in the eye of the beholder. No one is browbeating you or manipulating you emotionally.

I am not seeking to limit myself to a particular viewpoint that I have been conditioned to anymore now than I was when I first started looking at Buddhism and meditating. You and I are at cross purposes stuka - as I tried to discuss with you ( not getting a response made that not possible ). When?
