Dear Ana, Your msg. no 467 in Goa lists is touching. Christ NEVER founded a religion. A religion is a set of dogmas, dos and donts, rituals, chanting robbing and cheating in the name of a god or the One True and Living God. Commercializing the whole thing for marketing or selfish ends. Jesus'

As India is reeling and shocked (for a time at least) at the recent rape, various weirdos give various weirdopinions. A black clad, white mustachioed dandhawala, gave his opinion [or future law] that all women myst be housewives. These follow a religion of ancestors which is dignified today.
