Marshall, what if his name wasn't Edamaruku? What if it was Victor, Paul, Sebataio or Lorsu? Would this have been an issue then? Does this mean no one has the right to question Christianity? What we are effectively saying is that we have the liberty to believe in the most outrageous things in life just because they fall in that large, black, nebulous hole called religion. Add "religious sentiment" to any cause, you can justify the most inhumane treatment of people or the most irrational thoughts and chances are, you will get away with it. I, myself have written for years on this very forum about the ridiculousness of a belief in these so-called miracles. I have ranted against Potta, where all rational thought is suspended while people are made to believe that miracles are curing them from the most pitiable to the most hideous of ailments. That this sort of evangelical Christianity feels no qualms in accepting "donations" is definitely a worry. We cannot be cowards in defending secularism. It calls for a lot of stomach. It is an ugly business. Best, selma
