Dear Roland,

If we banned religion and politics, all we'd be left
with is Albert's recipe for pinagre and much as I like
pinagre I can't stomach it in large doses.

Humour aside though, you've brought into play a
western sensibility and interpretation of the word
"secular". In India, secular does not mean keeping God
out of government (or internet forums), it means
becoming tolerant of all Gods. 

As an agnostic I don't find Albert's epistles of any
interest but I do think he should be allowed to
exercise his right of freedom of religion and speech.
Would I be offended if someone wrote about Krishna or
Mohammed? Only to the extent that I'd have more mails
to delete without reading.

selma
