I'm not saying the non-Catholics should insist on communion, or the non-Hindu should insist on picking up the stretcher. I'm saying, when I see these things, agnosticism makes even more sense for me.<BR/><BR/>Ani, sorry I wrote something that need not have been written.

Why do catholics feel rejected when a similar thing happens to them. <BR/><BR/>The rules of religion are man made and are made for the purpose of being followed. Would we question rules of society in a simialr fashion? Do we say... give me my jungle law when we disagree with it? I am not sure what the issue really is. Catholics dont stop anybody from entering a church and hindus dont stop people from entering most temples.... so then why this obsession to eat the forbidden fruit. Cant we just live with the rules laid down or is it another attempt to be a non-conformist?<BR/><BR/>-Frank.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070362.post-1138988355131898532006-02-03T23:09:00.000+05:302006-02-03T23:09:00.000+05:30Dilip,Your latest post ( I read all the others too...Dilip,<BR/><BR/>Your latest post ( I read all the others too) made me feel more than sad tonight, but it drives the valuable lesson home that the world unfortunately holds two classes of people: intelligent people without religion, and religious people without sensitivity and intelligence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070362.post-1138983971878376352006-02-03T21:56:00.000+05:302006-02-03T21:56:00.000+05:30I agree with you on this but this need not have be...I agree with you on this but this need not have been written.
