Dear Jose, As you know, my humble quest has always been to get folks to admit once and for all that their beliefs regarding morality, spirituality, theism, or any such matters come from their own parochial faiths - nothing more, nothing less. Is it asking too much for people to concede that their private convictions may not have any currency or applicability to all and sundry subscribers of a secular public forum such as this one? Time and again in this forum, as well as elsewhere, I have found that most people refuse to do so. They try their darnedest to advance all kinds of rationalizations and justifications, sometimes even audaciously claiming that their particular insular beliefs are supported by science and reason, or by some highfaluting scholastic or vedic notions. Why use such contrivances when they can simply state with a clear conscience that they believe in something because it is written in their sacred book, or because it has been uttered by their most revered authority? Cheers, Santosh
