Jeanne, I need to understand what exactly your complaint is about here: * That I am only a wee bit racist? * That I don't understand the full degree of my racism? * That you didn't know, but I did, about my racism? * That all Indians are racist, and I'm part of that, so I am too? * That I'm come clean over it? Do clarify. FN Eugene Correia wrote: ---------------------------- ugene Correia<[email protected]> That the "likeness of man" is just rhetoric, and there's nary any bit of truth in that. No one has seen God, Jesus was said to be "Son of God". The very fact that Jesus, in most cases, is said to be the God the Redeemer, as he's said to have taken away our sins. Theology is warped in language that's not to be taken as "word of God'. God is many things to different people. I think you got me all wrong, mate! I didn't say that man was created in the likeness of God (and woman out of his rib). I suggested that it could have well have been the other way around.... About Theology, I never studied it. So won't go there.... What's wrong with us, with all such talks about God on the God Book Club, er, Goa Book Club? This seems like attempts to fill what might seem like a slow Saturday. Nobody would guess that another book on an equally sizzling three-letter word (sex) is/was being released at the Literati in Calangute today.
