Samir endorsed the view that "god sucks". He knows because he has experienced 
it!

Christmas day is an appropriate ocassion to discuss if Christ sucks as good as 
any other god.
 
In the interest of free debate, it would be interesting to  know if:
1. Dr. Samir Kelekar would be interested in debating a godly "suck" during 
Shivratri or Navratri or any other occasion of phallic worship including 
festival at Kavlem and
2. Whether Fredrick would like to discuss religion in the context of the need 
for nuptial rites or "canonical" marriage for a proclaimed atheist.
 
We could also discuss whether the "Original Sin" is as  water soluble as all 
the "paap" of the pagans and hence washed away by the baptisimal water poured 
on an unsuspecting child at the behest of the parents.  At least the pagans 
consciously immerse themselves in the polluted rivers after attaining the 
so-calle "age of reason"
 
Or is that getting too personal for a person who believes in the persona of God 
... who is not another needle  prick?
 
We are all grown up men and women. So let us discuss this topic dispassionately 
through the year 2008 and into  2009. Iconoclasm is an intrinsic atheist 
philosophy ... till one's own icons get shattered. ;-(
 
Let the discussion go on.

I think Samir was testing your spirit of Christian tolerance :-) which
doesn't seem to run too deep in some cases anyway!

I guess if this was a perfect world, even the most devout theist would
agree that there would have not been any need for a Christ to be born
two millenia ago.

Btw, what is the meaning of 'sucks'? Its connotations seem to vary:

http://www.slate.com/id/2146866/

slang : to be objectionable or inadequate <our lifestyle sucks  ?
Playboy> <people who went said it sucked  ? H. S. Thompson>
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/suck

Vulgar Slang To be disgustingly disagreeable or offensive.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Sucks

So, do you still feel Samir's use of language (and attitude) sucks?
