Dear Mario,
Morality does not need the compass of religion to
guide it. It is inherent. Frazer in the Golden Bough,
wonderfully details how societies living in isolation
of each other invariably reach the same conclusion.
Pyramids for example are to be found from Central
America (Aztec and Mayan) t
Most people know that mere assertions can never trump
documented facts. That many moral teachings in
religious texts are now regarded as immoral is a
well-known fact. A rock solid moral compass cannot
have such gaping immoral holes in it.
Cheers,
Santosh

The Goa Government is justified in going after foreigners who violate the

foreigners who do everything legally and have nothing to worry. Others

Far from it.
"Continental Portugal" is an acceptable term commonly used in Portugal and
by other continental European countries. I see no problem with the term.
