<<Well said D V Bale. I do not comment on religion since it is individual's
freedom. I was reading only captions and deleting the text of these religion
based fights on Goanet.... I was wodering how come people not understand
that religion/caste/language/culture based division in people is politician’s
game. Why waste time on these when the polititians are devastating our
mother earth, environment and people? Are these not bigger than religion?
**I agree with you that religion should not divide us. That is what I have
been repeating again and again. But the reality in India is different.
Politicians are playing their games, we are deceived by them. We choose what
is best. But religion should lead us to take care of the environment. Today
we speak of Eco-theology. Precisely because we are not living the tenets of
religion we are falling into conflicts, erosion of values, destruction of
enviroment, corruption. Religion gives us the meaning of life and is a guide
for living a human life.
