  RE:Time for no religion

Manish, Stop living in a fool's paradise. Right expression is increasing all over the globe. Get your facts right first before meandering thru some unknown territory. Religion is pure addiction. People just cannot get it out of their system.As long as one of the faiths continues aggression, the others would follow suit. Look at what islam has done in the last decade. It has rekindled the religious fanaticism which actually has gone to new heights. Education has nothing to do with faith. You can get rid of blind faith but cannot rid yourself of teachings which are rooted in solid reason and rationale.

Dear Save Hinduism, way to use Islam as a way to get inspired. Makes all of us who espouse HInduism (it's right tenets) look like complete schmucks. Don't you guys get it? I don't care about YSR's religion. What's your problem? I honestly wouldn't care if the guy went and knelt at a darga or mosque as long as he did the right thing by the poorest of the poor people, which is what he does, day in and day out. Some rich guys are putting the VHP folks on their pay rolls and have succesfully brainwashed them into this absolutely irrelevant tirade. HOW does his not being part of our religion affect his performance with poor people? Have you guys gone into rural Andhra in recent years to see the changes that have taken place? Poor people used to drink water the color of coke, now they drink water that looks somewhat like water, get off your asses and do something for those people either by joining hands with this CM or on your own, but DO NOT keep assaulting him with wrong statistics, incorrect reporting and all that religious VHP mumbo jumbo that will make you seem no different than Bin Laden.

In USA also, not only George Bush, but Hilary Clinton, even Barak Obama regularly visits Church and speak on faith.

Only in India, due to marxist hangover, associating with Hinduism has become 'communal'.

But I bet you will find bigger Tika (Hindu religious symbol) over Rahul Gandhi's head which nehru almost never had it.

Today the need of religeon for the lay man is less for faith but more for identifying onself with a community for security and fear from the rest of the religeons

Whatever may be the reason, religion, specially public display, use of it in politics is on the rise.

Its true whether in Europe, USA or Asia.
