Hi Sandeep, Samir said:-(But then, if there is one thing in short supply in this world, it is 'thinking'. Samir) (My post was in response to the long discussion that was going on aboutconversions, hence the timing.Samir). (I would consider the derogratorywords to denigrate non-Goans by calling them ghantis much worse thandenigrating a fictional entity called God. Samir)
What you presume is not consistent with what he said during Christmas, if he is a 'great' thinking person: He should have thought about bringing this topic up some other time, He also defends himself by saying that Goans call ALL non Goans ghantis and forced conversion etc etc etc. This is not consistent of what he says that he is, ie. a PhD (self certified? - must be). His defence by implying ghantis and forced conversions during Christmas, and God sucks, does not hold water. (Unless he is psychologically traumatised in wanting to become a Christian during Christmas days or just jealous of Christmas and Christians) God during our 'Joyous' days should be kept apart from politics for a few days, - that is what one should be thinking. You said: (Samir's thoughts are not too fundamentally different from those ofsome extreme religious believers) Reply: That may be so; Christians have not bombed any one and have not forced any one to become Christians THESE DAYS, therefore his thoughts and YOURS should be put abyss. ED. ------- Sandeep said, What I presume he means, and this is in consistency with what he hasalways said, is that the concept of God has brought a lot of miseryand is responsible for a lot of destruction to humankind and it isthis religious concept that sucks. Not Jesus or Ganesha or any otherGod literally!Samir's thoughts are not too fundamentally different from those ofsome extreme religious believers, who too believe that God sucks. That is except the God that they believe in!CheersSandeep.Sandeep Heble
