Dear Paddy: Thanks for expressing you opinion. I think it should have been clear to you from all my past discussions in this and other forums that even though I express my views forcefully, I have no desire to impose them on others. In fact, I assume that most people who have been indoctrinated into traditional modes of thinking would never be persuaded by the logic or the substance of my presentation. I always welcome others to challenge my views, so all sides of an issue are presented. The need to present a balanced view on important matters that impact our lives and minds has been the sole driving principle behind all my discourses on all mailing lists. My only intention is to provide others access to factually accurate information, and an effective counterbalance to one-sided information and opinion. As far as this thread is concerned, I have already made all the substantive points that I wanted to make. I will not respond to any more posts by Joel, Joe Vaz or anybody on this issue at this time. But that does not mean that I forfeit my right to debate this issue some other time, should somebody decide to launch yet another barrage of one-sided miracle claims in this forum. It is interesting to note that nobody asks these guys and gals to hold their peace. Perhaps, this prenuptial expression does not apply to people who are already married to their particular faith, and who proudly wear that flashy ring on their finger. But I would not want them to hold their peace either. The uninhibited war of words is more enlightening and enriching than the uneasy silence of enforced peace. Viviana does not have a soft spot for me. She strongly disagrees with me on most issues. She regards the rest as Pandurangisms. The Admin. Team is free to to do whatever they want to do. I only hope they are even-handed about it. Thanks for asking me to elaborate on my views on lunar effects and other things in private. I will try to do that.
