Religious rant - II

This guy just doesn't let go.

The only reason I dont allow anonymous comments or comments without registration is because of all the advertising spam that I receive on my blog. So, if you really do want to opine, 2 mins of your time with a fake email address is enough to register with blogspot. Justifying the obvious lack of thought as is evident from your current post, with some trivial excuse, is totally lame.

I wasn't justifying the act of distributing trishuls as the right thing to do. But all your rants were singularly anti-Hindu(even though they were not against me personally as you claim) with not a single word against the atrocities of any other religion. That is something I found to be quite hypocritical. If there indeed are other writings about those, would you be kind enough to point them out to me so that I can have a better insight into your *ideology* ?

If you still dont understand the meaning of hypocrisy, then you dont know the meaning of the word liberal as well. To be a liberal you kind of have to refrain from any *extreme* opinions about anything, which you obviously dont do. So, when you say you are a liberal and you have extreme views on matters, you are actually being a hypocrite. I hope I am making myself clear enough because if this doesnt get through then I dont think anything else will. And pray what exactly did you find hypocritical in my post?? Just calling me a hypocrite doesnt make me one. You actually have to prove it like I did.

Contrary to what you might believe, I am not a fundamentalist. Hell, I wouldnt do my morning prayers everyday even when my father beat the crap out of me. But I am indeed proud of my heritage and culture and I obviously dont appreciate it when its maligned without any purpose, thought or justification by people like you.

I've had my share of religious nutcases too. The one thing you wrote, I must disagree with though. Liberals should have no opinion? I don't think I'm liberal in the capital "L" sense, but I DO have opinions. In Amerikkka, I couldn't decide to go Dem. or Rep. I imagine I'd vote outside of those two twits. In my country, Canada, the party lines are fusing together slowly but surely.

Don't get hung up on other people's values and belief systems...

funny, my word verification is "liboe"

No no, what I am trying to say is that a liberal generally is a broad-minded person. He/she doesn't outrightly accept or reject a thought, an opinion without properly considering its merits/demerits. This is where the other guy differs in his scathing attacks on the Hindu fanatics, in generalizing everything that they do, to the religion itself.

I usually dont get irritated by such articles but in this case, I did feel a need to opine at the least.
