That's right. I agree with Santosh. Also, posts pertaining to all
religions should be equally welcome. On the other hand, my personal
view is that near-communal postings, which try to show someone else's
religion in poor light should also be discouraged or disallowed for
obvious reasons. It gets us nowhere, hardens stands on all sides,
lends nothing to the debate, and overall increases bitterness. (I'm
not referring to Santosh's general critique of religion in general,
which has its place, but the my-religion-is-more-rational-than-yours
perspectives which we see in a big way sometimes on Goanet.) --FN
