By sheer coincidence I met "Theo Bebdo" today outside the Aldona church today. 
His name "Theo"
from the word theist. I asked him if he was high on religion. No he answered, 
just high on some
Siolim feni. 

How can you be drunk Theo, leaving church in such a condition. Nothing unusual 
he replied, I was
drunk before and during church too. Consistency is what matters, just like a 
rock solid moral
code. 

I was bewildered. How could a theist be drunk? What would I write to Gilbert 
Lawrence about this.
So I asked Theo, are you not aware of the 10 commandments?  Yes, he answered 
and none of them
forbid booze, specifically Siolim feni. Show me where it says don't drink 
Siolim feni in the 10
commandments and I will quit drinking immediately. He had a point. 

Anything else you would like to add to the rock solid moral code I asked him. 
Yes he said, tell
those self-appointed defenders of Goan Catholicism the 11th commandment: Thou 
shalt not use Goan
cyber space to work out your religious insecurities, and lacking in self-esteem 
run down others
with different views, including hiding your intolerances in fundamentalist 
rhetoric when your
bigotry is visible to all the world. 

Yes, Theo I will tell them. By the way, the 11th commandment is a bit long, can 
we break it down
into three separate commandments?  Burp, burp ... theist Theo answered.

So now you know the truth.

Regards,
George
