Hi Dilip,

Just a few suggestions. Hope you find these as polite as your mail...

Saligao-Net is dependent for its posts on all its members. That includes
you. So if you take a dig at inactivity and obituaries, then it means we
are all (including you) are not doing enough. Please step on the gas!

Just btw, Saligao-Net is also active on Facebook. I guess younger,
Facebook-prone members find that a more convenient place to cyber-meetup.
Are you there?

Any books are food for thought. But four books are far from sufficient to
build a library. And a priority before the SI (apart from gaining more
members), is to get an active library going. Agreed, this is a tough job.

As for your offer (bait?) of Dawkins and Hitchens, I must concede I'm not
great fan of them. They come across as teenagers who have just discovered
the impact of their disbelief. A Pope Francis, a Leonard Boff, a Tissa
Balasuriya or even a Fidel and Frei Betto in discussion, do more for me to
raise questions about the role of religion and society. Agreed, this is a
matter of personal taste. FN
