I know Nasci does not get it. But I wonder if the so-called devout Catholics on the forumNasci:
understand religious chauvinism and will speak out. What if Hindus and others on this forum
challenged Catholic religious pratices and beliefs? Is the Virgin birth, Trinity, Ascension into
heaven, etc. fair game for them too?
This is precisely what I am complaining about! Santosh is, under cover of Science, leading a tirade against christian beliefs and none against other beliefs. And you Mr George Pinto is also doing the same; talking of supposedly racist and religious chauvinism among Goan catholics but not talking of inherent racism and casteism in the hindu religion and fold! How funny can you be.
Your name suggests that you are of brahmin origin, now a christian; why do you not use your status in society to tell your and my hindu brothers and sisters that they should not spill their religious practices into the street, and into laws that are hurtful to other communities and not conducive to communal and religious harmony???
You have not answered my question: "Since when and where did you learn that 'pedeophile preists etc are chistian doctrine"?
Please assert that they are a demonstration of 'human failing' and not a product of doctrine or normal practices of any religion. If you do not do this minimum, then 'Shame on You' I say.
