Vultures provide an important and necessary activity in the circle of life and should be honored and revered. Also, their virtually effortless and sustained flight wihtout flapping their wings while rising on the heat thermals is the poetry of soaring. <br />Calling people "vultures" as a form of insult is only an insult to the vulture.Alan Gregory Wonderwheelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00186755261777539572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138082354348831474.post-72742970023795940862012-06-17T02:56:16.437-07:002012-06-17T02:56:16.437-07:00www.meetm8.com join this for dating & chating

Father Dominic Emmanuel does turn out to be a...Sir,<br />Father Dominic Emmanuel does turn out to be a Christian muddle head par excellence. In an article authored by him in the deccan chronicle newspaper titled “Geetha, Canon and Confusion” [ a more apt title would be “jesus, Christianity and muddle heads” !! ], he asks all kinds of funny questions. The topic of discussion is that the bjp govt. in Madhya Pradesh had included the geetha in the school curriculum and excluded other religions. A local church pop had filed a case against this in the high court of Madhya Pradesh calling it religious discrimination. The high court upheld the govt.’s decision saying that the geetha is not a religious text but a philosophical one. Horror of horrors, the honorable judges had the audacity to advice the church pop’s counsel to give the geetha a thorough reading to convince himself. This seems to have raised the hackles of Fr Emmanuel. He quotes from an expert professor called Gispert Sauch who is equally confused about the nature of the geetha : “ …… the geetha Upanishad sung by the lord is primarily a religious text , but it is also simultaneously a great philosophical text even if it is not sruti but smriti……”. Emmanuel goes on to ask the funniest of questions : “ Would the honorable justices consider lord Krishna a mere philosopher and the festival of janmashtami to be celebrated in universities.? Would the justices please explain why the temple worshippers at vrindavan deify lord Krishna ? And why on earth do our courts ask witnesses to place their hands on the geetha to swear if it is not a religious book.? Would they also hold that meera bai’s experience of total mystical union with lord Krishna was just a moment of philosophical delusion? “. The reason for his heartburn comes out in the last observation : “it is a little more surprising and indeed intriguing that neither the religious leaders, nor the philosophers or indeed the secularists of our country expressed their views on this ruling of the MP high court”. So, the secularists keeping mum on this issue seems to have equally disturbed Emmanuel. He doesn’t seem to have realized that even the ardent secularist of india will concede that most hindus do not even bother to maintain a copy of the geetha in their bookshelf , leave alone reading it. Is this the case with bible and quran of Christians and muslims? Had he asked this question himself , he wouldn’t have written this article. What to do, can we expect muddle heads like him to perform better ?<br />--KarthikrajanKarthikrajanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18171891264654103091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138082354348831474.post-72463863373710662352012-04-12T02:47:59.474-07:002012-04-12T02:47:59.474-07:00Sir,

If meera nanda believes this then there is nothing intellectual about her, she is just another muddle head like other Christians who believe so. A simple case is the belief of Christians in resurrection, due to which they (and muslims) are littering the earth's surface by burying their dead instead of cremating them. What ‘science’ can they discover behind this ? In Hinduism, a living organism once dead and gone is gone forever, nothing can bring it back to life. What they concentrate afterward is what happens to the soul/consciousness, which brought it to the concept of rebirth and reincarnation which syncs well with the science law of conservation of energy. Of course there are some miracle stories like the staunch tamil shaiva saint Thirugnyanasambandhar bringing back to life a girl called Poompaavai literally from her ashes ( a la phoenix bird ? ), but that hasn’t altered the shaiviites practice of cremating the dead. It is true that many great scientists were Christians, but they developed a scientific temper in spite of Christianity and not because of it. Galileo was put under house arrest by the church pops for speaking against the geocentric theory which the church was advocating. According to the church since god created the earth, it had a central role to play, with other heavenly objects revolving around it like obedient disciples. Galileo’s simple telescope and astronomy studies gave sufficient hints that the universe may be working on heliocentric basis (sun at centre, other objects revolving around it). With the sun occupying a prime place in most pagan religions, this theory sent the church into panic-cum-prosecution mode after which they virtually stymied every attempt by astronomers to prove the heliocentric theory. It is precisely this approach by the church which triggered a backlash from the free thinking European Christians ushering the ‘renaissance’ period which caused political and intellectual upheaval in Europe leading to rapid strides in science. How in the world are Christian groups planning to counter this ‘scienco-phobia’ developed by the church and its pops during this period ?? Pathetic !! Shows how desperate christian groups are growing day by day. Scientist Oppenheimer quoted from the geetha, not from bible, when his team successfully blasted the world's first nuke for US.<br />--KarthikrajanKarthikrajanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18171891264654103091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138082354348831474.post-6203021856068528772012-03-17T20:14:58.718-07:002012-03-17T20:14:58.718-07:00Hilarious and sad.
