Shameful
by Ramaswamy E on Dec 27, 2007 11:23 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

If they have any genuine grievance they can resort to more peaceful methods of protest like holding placards before the church - but even that should not be done during the Christmas season.

Even I feel provoked by the kind of bigotry & self-righteousness preached by religious heads of some of the faiths but that cant be a reason to indulge in violence.

According to me polytheism and individual (not mass) worship are among the greatest benefits offered by Hinduism - polytheism teaches us that we can see God in what form we like and individual worship makes religion a process of realization and not something that we learn from an idiot who preaches that anything alien to the faith is automatically bad and anyone who does not follow their faith is a heathen / infidel / pagan etc...

NOW REPLY IS GIVEN SO THAT NO OTHER RELIGIONS WUD MESS WITH HINDUS. HINDUS WER LIKE TEAM INDIA EARLIER. NOW NEW TEAM INDIA HAS GIVEN AUTRALIA THIER OWN MEDICINE. SO EVEN HINDUS NEED TO REPLY BACK VIOLENTLY OR ELSE MOST OF THEM THINK HINDUS BEING A MAJORITY IN INDIA ARE BALL-LESS. BUT THIS IS NOT THE SOLUTION. BUT U SEE SIR SNAKE HAS TO HISS SOMETIMES TO SHOW ITS NATURE AND SCARE U.. OR ELSE EVEN IF U HAVE 100 SNAKES U WILL NEVER BE WORRIED. THIS IS JUSTIFIES ACT BY HINDUS . DONT MAKE IT TOO PUBLIC. JUST A SOME CHRISTIAN NUISANCE

THE GREATEST VIRTUE OF HINDUISM WAS ALL-INCLUSIVENESS AND TOLERANCE,WHICH ALLOWED THESE SERPEANTS TO TAKE ROOT IN INDIA AND USE IT TO THEIR ADVANTAGE. WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THEIR MANIPULATIONS.
