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.
