Aristo responds: Mario, I never "attacked" religious moral codes. I only questioned the Absoluteness of the Christian commandments against rape. If questioning is attacking to you, what do you call your branding of Communist philosophies as "deadly and destructive"? In fact, I even enlightened you on a more absolute moral code, that of Sai Baba's, of which you knew nothing of before we encountered each other. My only reason to bug goanetters on that topic was because of the blatantly named thread "Rock solid CHRISTIAN moral code", thus implying other codes as inferior and less rock solid. I said what I had to, and you had your last word. That's it. No attacking. Now getting to your bigoted statement that Communism is a "deadly and destructive" philosophy: Mario, why do you repeatedly point out the shady examples of Communism, when you yourself cringe when others point out the misdeeds of Christian fundamentalists and deviants? Why not point, say, at Keralite Communists, who were single handedly responsible for Kerala exhibiting one of the highest Human Development indicators in the world? My non-alignment with Communism is not because of bigoted reasoning like yours, nor is it because of the central tenets of egalitarianism (which I find noble in fact). It is only because of an impractical, disproven and failed Marxist economics, which is based on the labour theory of value instead of subjectivism, of which Kerala is a shining example once again. (yes Mario, you better scratch my name off the page in your little diary titled "Godless Commies", and while your at it, make separate pages for "Godless" and "Commies"!) Now to your amazing gaffe of insisting that Atheism is "central tenet" of Communism. Mario, log on to Google and type <"Christian Communism"> (quotes included to get concise and phrase-specific search results) and tell me how many tens of thousands of search results you get. Then, log on to Wikipedia, and search <Communism>, click <CTRL + F>, and type <Atheis> and see if the words Atheism or Atheist exist ANYWHERE on the huge explanation of Communism. Now I agree that Wikipedia is not the most credible source of information, but it is certainly FAR MORE credible than Mariopedia!! I do hope that you do not choke with your foot stuck so deep in your mouth:-)) Cheers, Aristo. PS. Mario, from our limited interactions, I only think of you as a mild bigot, and not as grossly bigoted as the likes of one certain "Enlightened Christian" who hates "Hindu Pagans", who certainly do not deserve the courtesy of a reply. _______________________________________________ Goanet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.goanet.org/listinfo.cgi/goanet-goanet.org
