Reference Yamaka's post #85
When I go to Trivandrum I speak Malayalam and when I go to Bombay I speak Marathi because I want to be understood clearly. When I speak to Atheists(not serveall) I quote Russel from his "Why I am not a Christian" and R.Linton from his "The study of Man" with the hope that they would have read these already and would have lapped up the handed down wisdom already. Lol.
I was under the impression that our (Indian) Ultra-nationalists would not have read European / Western literature because they believe it's all "manipulated" against India, Indian History and Culture!
Clearly, I am an Athiest, not believing in the FATALISM of the Religions and the Superstition of the Janma Poorva Karma, AND also I am a globalist not entertaining the narrow views of Nationalism.
I am curiously watching and waiting the behaviors of Theists who happily consume the fruits of Science Engineering & Technology and at the same time they have the audacity to bad mouth about it...
Indeed the world is very interesting.
