This is Admin Noronha's fabricated view of what my attempts have been. He has
tried to put words in my mouth twice now. So once again, my attempts have
nothing to do with what he is claiming here. I don't know how to be more clear
than I have already been in this thread. Let me now just say flat out that I
have never suggested that "one's religious views would be decided by the
State's approach to a [parallel] matter." I don't even understand what this
statement he has put in my mouth means.
As a secular pluralist, I believe that one's religious views are his/her own
problem, as long as they do not cause harm to humanity. All I have been saying
is that, as the Prime Minister stated, the secular Indian constitution rightly
holds that all religions are equal. I don't care what Fr. Ivo's parochial
Catholic beliefs, Dr. Barad's parochial Hindu beliefs or Admin Noronha's
parochial Atheist/Agnostic beliefs are on this matter.
Cheers,
Santosh
