Samir's post, if read literally, will be a kind of an oxymoron, Mario responds: Now, now, Sandeep. There's no need to start responding to Samir's gratuitous insulting post by calling him names:-)) Sandeep wrote: What I presume he means, and this is in consistency with what he has always said, is that the concept of God has brought a lot of misery and is responsible for a lot of destruction to humankind and it is this religious concept that sucks. Mario responds: Nice try, Sandeep. After calling him some kind of moron, now you want to make up presumptions out of whole cloth to get him off the hook:-)) However, if you read his opening post on this clearly moronic subject: http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2008-December/085637.html - you will see no hint of anything but an insulting attitude towards God and, by extension, those who believe in God. Besides, where did you get the idea that it is only the concept of God that has brought a lot of misery and destruction to humankind? Some of the worst tyrants in history had rejected the notion of God and then went on to account for the deaths and destruction of millions of innocent victims, for social or political reasons. Sandeep wrote: Samir's thoughts are not too fundamentally different from those of some extreme religious believers, who too believe that God sucks. That is except the God that they believe in! Mario responds: There you go again, Sandeep, now comparing Samir to some intolerant religious fanatics "...who too believe that God sucks..." However, on second thought, you may be right in this observation:-))
