Gosh, Frederico.  I didn't know
you were a wee bit racist.  I
expect all Indians are.  In
fact, they are considered by
some to be the worst racists of
all, being so practised in
caste distinctions.  It is very
heartening to see that you
recognise this in yourself. Jeanne

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

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.
