wrt # 1: On what scientific basis are you assuming the possibility that the 'normal process of decomposition' was avoided by clandestine means? KS: none, jhust ashking an innocent question. wrt # 2: On what scientific basis are you categorically stating that the incorruptibility of SFX's remains IS one of the few reasons that there is such a strong Catholic presence in Goa today? KS: none, jhust shtating an opinion. wrt # 2: What would you say is the reason for the strong Roman Catholic presence in Mangalore and Kerala ? KS: migration? St. Thomas? (strong Roman Catholic presence in Kerala... I never knew!) wrt # 3: On what scientific basis are you categorically stating that SFX had ANY effect on education in Goa ? We all know what Jesuits have done for education in India as a whole; but Goa ..from where they were banned by the Portuguese? ( Loyola & Britto schools & Xavier's College having been noted) KS: Portuguese in general and SFX in particular brought the guilt laden religion from Europe to India that was a Roman bastardization of the original teachings of the early rebel religion that broke away from Judaism (Christ notwithstanding). This probably influenced the Goans to create greetings with divine invocations. Religious educational institutions probably did a disservice to student's intellect by influencing subject material with dogma. wrt # 3: Would you please explain to me your term i.e. "religion of Crucifixianity" ? Please provide me (if you have the time) with YOUR understanding of the term. I do know that some anti-Catholic wierdos who position themselves as "atheists" have coined that term on some fringe discussion boards. KS: I am VERY interested in learning which 'anti-Catholic wierdos' positioning themselves as "atheists" have used this term and on which 'fringe discussion boards'. I actually coined the term myself and after your accusation, googled it! 2 links - one on a Chinese Christian site offering it as an alternative term to Christianity! Try it :-) JC: May be ( and I am presuming here quite unscientifically), but May be .... Kevin does not have a clue of Christianity. For IF he had .... he would have (possibly) written a few words about the teachings of Christ - which I believe, is the basis of Christianity. KS: More than just a few words have been written about the teachings of Christ by much more learned theologians than I. There have also been many other teachings written down in 'Holy Books' that purport to give mankind a cook-book recipe to morality. But none of them use the disturbing image (worthy of a snuff film like The Passion) of a naked man in the throes of a violent, painful death to conjure up devotion. Actually, one of the most enlightening and compassionate mainstream religions is atheistic.
