For ...I think we are going back into the dark ages. For thousands of years people have used religion as a tool to settle scores or as a tool to dominate other people or as a tool to manipulate stupid innocent people to kill other stupid innocent people. And it's always been used to suppress women. <BR/><BR/>A person can be a wife beating pedophile but as long as he pays his daily respects to Shiva, it's all good. That's how hypocritical and hollow religion has become. And those self proclaimed saints who claim to know-it-all are the biggest pile of trash walking on God's green earth. <BR/><BR/>And what do I know, I'm supposedly going to hell (which does not exist by the way). <BR/><BR/>We live in a world where even the Xbox 360 is deemed as ungodly. <BR/><BR/>And about the food, I ALWAYS eat non-veg food on Tuesdays and every other Holy Day. Once one of our infinitely wise relatives remarked after finding out I ate beef <I>"It's the convent school he goes to. They put such modern western extreme ideas in these children's heads" </I> I was like, dude I want to eat it, what's my school got to do with it, jackass?<BR/><BR/>When I see someone who is ultra-religious, I can never trust that person's judgment. <BR/><BR/>And the next person who comes up to me and says "It was God's will" is going to get an ass whopping of a lifetime. <BR/><BR/>This comment seems to be bigger than the post. Ah! What the hell. <BR/><BR/>I think this deserves another post. <BR/><BR/>And as far as stealing ideas goes, I climb into other people's heads when they sleep and steal their ideas and write posts using those very same ideas. <BR/><BR/>Also, Moo how can you have beef? Isn't that betraying you own kind? How very Catholic of you!! :P :P<BR/><BR/>*guffaws endlessly at his own joke*Over Ratedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18159322765446103882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1731539346686433935.post-84277886126735505772008-05-13T12:12:00.000+05:302008-05-13T12:12:00.000+05:30My sentiments exactly.

We claim to be more "educated" and "civilised", but still cannot think for ourselves. I remember once, this guy with THREE PHDs, and about 13 degrees (I'm seriously not exaggerating), was a contestant on KBC. And his wife, was dressed in a black Burqa, and did not even dare raise her veil. THIS is what religion is. The staunch following of some code of conduct, and values that are as old as Arjun Singh (I know the comparison has highly appealed to you ;P). <BR/><BR/>In fact, an article by Vir Sanghvi, on vegetarianism, saw him put across a very relevant point. How many of us Indians actually refrain from eating meat, on moral / ethical grounds, apart from flimsy religious excuses about "I'm JAIN! Jains are supposed to be freakin' pale and unhealthy, without an ounce of protein in their diet. You go eat healthy and fatten yourself. Just don't touch me, in case I might be tempted!" So many people have asked me with a :O on their faces, "Fuck! How come you're eating beef? Are you not Hindu?" or in most instances, "Your MOTHER has sent you chicken in your lunch box on a TUESDAY? Is she Catholic?" Fuck off, already. Or stick your head in your underwear. <BR/><BR/>And when are we going to grow up? When we run out of dirty underwear, I suppose.<BR/><BR/>*Sorry about the mile long comment. Just that I really feel about the entire "religion" issue. I'm sure you don't mind. :P*Moohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13551541079627465573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1731539346686433935.post-78410255262139400412008-05-13T08:27:00.000+05:302008-05-13T08:27:00.000+05:30ess: Well said.

Water, fire, The Passion of the Christ, that book about Shivaji<BR/><BR/>Hell, when they want to stop the Sethusamudram project, they talk about the Ramayana. Forget the fact that its economic viability is extremely doubtful, and that it will cause untold damage to the coral reefs there. We should not go ahead with it because hindu sentiments will be hurt.<BR/><BR/>Gimme a break.esshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454836953383708046noreply@blogger.com
