CarolC Alas calling me a troll realy isnt a very convincing argument..I have been married for over 10 years to an Asian,I have always enjoyed the company and respected the intelligience of Asian people,but that is the Asians who can see beyond thje religious hocus pocus that has held the Indian continent in a medieval timewarp....I dont see modern moderate christianity judaism Hinduism or Buddhism as seeking to turn the world back to a time when we were frightened by imaginary ghosts and gouls,but alas Islam is all about creating demons through which human tyrants can reign....As for God if such an entity exists it is not any man made entity as embodied by all the major religions...God is the universe the stars the moon the air the water the sunshine the soil our fellow creatures our hoped for love for each other...God aint rhetoric old scripture written before we knew the world was round and why an apple falls to the gound..its not taking sides or creating movements or large (admittadly beautiful) monuments or getting down on guilt ridden bended knee every Sunday morning or at sundown...The greatest God we can respect is this sphere we are all glued to by Newtons law and a belief that good deeds help to make our Eden a truly good place to inhabit for our short tenure in it....
