This is idiotic Jack. Since you seem to be a Christian or somone influenced by DMK you dont seem to know the History. The Chola and Pandya Kings actively supported Vaishnavism. INDEED, KAMBA RAMAYAN WAS SPONSORED BY CHOLA KING.

Supported Vaishnavam for a minority.. they were Saivites... Kamban was ostracised after some time .. Remnants of Vaishnavam are from Telugu invaders and not Tamil Kings.,.

Iam not sure which Tamil king you are talking about, even the most elementary student would know about the alwars, they composed the dhivyaprabandham, alwar paasurai in more chaste tamil than Mu Ka can ever dream of. Infact some of the Alwars were kings themselves. Im sorry even so many of the Sivaji films havent made u literate about those. No wonder DMK is successful in brainwashing every one in TN. Im sure that 80% of the current DMK MLAs are theist, if Mu Ka believes so let him keep it to himself and not insult others beliefs. Science says that a man cannot be born all by himself, so can we suspect the origins of Jesus?. Will Mu Ka talk about those?. DMK has taken Periyar's idealogy to an extreme that even Periyar himself would not understand the end of it other than vote bank politics. Now what reply does the DMK have for their own cadres who killed more than two SUN TV crew for a stupid opinion poll, and now for ransacking the house of a BJP leader and the party office. Can he eats back his own words about the Ram bhaktas attitude. Its a shame that the hindus in TN are toothless and cowards, so they allow this guy to insult everything Hindu in the name of anti-brahminism. Doesnt it surprise anyone that they who believe in Valluvar will take oath by Aryan - Dravidian theory which was put forth by a foriegner not even an Indian. They would believe anyone who is alien to the culture but not one who is part of the culture.

Questioning the so called gods's existence is the foundation of atheism. No disrespect, you are within your right to worship whoever you want - be it a wife banisher, womanizer, peadophile, etc. At the same time, some beliefs in the name of religion are not practical and should find no outlet in modern society. Like killing non-believers or claiming vast areas of land and water as religious landmarks even when they are not being worshipped! BTW why stop only with the bridge, why not preserve the entire path that "fella" trekked from Ayodhya and back?

None of Tamil Kings were atheists. So Atheism is not the culture of TamilNadu.
As for ram, we had kamba ramayana and eri kaatha ramar. Ram is part of Tamil culture, like ayyavazhi, ayyappan, christianity (that came thru Portuguese) and Islam. TN culture is not DMK atheism but composite culture
