Re: # 236 Hamidm

[...but then it is a rather silly religion with flying monkeys, six-armed godesses and elephant-nosed gods - nobody in his sane mind could believe in all that gibberish .........]

Look, all those flying monkeys etc etc provide a much needed relief from an otherwise drab life.......that`s what religion is really for, a diversion, even if it comes from seriously believing in gibberish. Otherwise, believing in any God, flying or non-flying, is insane.

[..we have just one flying horse and some talking ants to deal with ..]

ANd that`s the problem... you have just too few sacred cows... I mean, sacred horses.... you just can`t let it go... it`s like people with one kid and people with 10 kids...

We have 33 million or so gods who come in all sorts of configurations - so we don;t really care... I mean, what the heck... :)

Re: # 236

And yes, religion makes sense only when it`s silly...silliest as it can ever be... otherwise, you will have people killing themselves and others in name of a flying horse and the talking ant... or screwing 10 year old boys in name of the holy father, parading an ex-nazi as their savior... :)

Grandpa Gopinath was not stupid as you think... he understood the world much better than your later day bedouin saviors that you embraced and still saddled with... :)

Re: # 240

I think it may be somewhere on the web. I`m too lazy to write long posts.

Re: # 237 bjkumar

But Radhikabai looks like a Mongol lady to me. Are you sure that`s indeed her? Hamidm has mentioned Germans, Greeks, Latinos and assorted Caucasians among his relatives, but a Mongol, never, as far as I recall.

Ok, forget all this monkey business. Let`s just figure out a simple thing :)

Isn`t it ok to hit a woman (or a man) if they actually ask you to hit them? If they beg and plead to be hit?

If their life isn`t worth living without being hit? I mean, you yourself might not be into this stuff, but suppose there is out there somebody who is. Desperately. Beyond medical help.

So there is somebody out there who wants to be hit. Someone other who wants to hit.

And then there is you. What should you do? Will you be quoting books? And telling them what?

Re: # 237

bj,

enough about my drandpa gopinath ! ................... i am glad he had the good sense to take a bath, get a haircut and get circumcised, otherwise i would be stuck next to you in the fetid waters of the ganges ............ phew! that was a close call ..

.............. but where is that rascal abu-sufwaan ? ........... first he was out there beating up on zeena, our fiesty warrior princess, then he insulted my lovely wife and daughters (not to mention grandma radihikabai), and now he is probably beating up on some other women .............. what really surprises me about these islamists is their obsession with women`s affairs - what they can wear, what they can eat, where can they pray, when can they have sex, etc. etc .......i have a suspicion that most mullahs, like catholic priests and gandhians, are unsure of their own sexuality and therefore feel threatened by women, pretty boys, and their young nieces ........... some, like jimmy swaggart and the bishop of boston, manage to get over their fears and get down to business as johns and pedophiles, while others become wife-beaters .....................

beej, that`s a serious question for you. So if you decide to respond, please don`t load it up with all those exclamation marks. :)

Re: # 247

kaal,

...... i hope you are not suggesting that beej is into this kind of thing ! ........... i wouldn`t be surprised, given his penchant for pictures of naked men of dubious sexaulity .....

..... but seriously, wife-beating is a horrible thing and nobody in their right mind, except demented islamists and perverts, would condone it ...................

#251 Posted by bjkumar on January 21, 2007 4:56:40 pm

First, there is the simple observation that women are human beings and hitting another human being is wrong.

Second, hitting women is wrong also in the same way that hitting children is wrong, because – barring exceptions; the fair sex is also physically weaker.

What boggles the mind is that some individuals NEED to look at their book and get its sanction to determine that indeed it IS wrong. Why is that a bad thing?!!

The answer is simplicity itself – because that leaves the possibility open that indeed your Book MAY provide an excuse for justifying such behavior!

The writer is an absolute MORON for doing exactly that. And the chowk editors are absolute heels for publishing this crap!

Sometimes, it appears to me that the chowk crowds – especially those in charge, are a bunch of lunatic asylum escapees who need to be promptly escorted – kicking and screaming – to their rightful places!

Re: # 251

(YOU are not the writer of this crap, by any chance?!!)

My little sis, you know how it is...

You know what they say...

People have opinion...

Every one has one...

(Like certain parts of the anatomy.)

And is entitled to them.

And in my opinion, this write-up is one crappy piece of work.

It could be called crap itself!

Like this...

CRAP!

#253 (further thoughts)

Of course, there is no intent on my part whatsoever to imply that some of the interacts are any less crappy!

Far from it!

I think mindless robots are a vast improvement over the line of thinking that I see being pushed on this site by some of the ``Islamic intellectuals`` on this site on a day in and day out basis!

Re: # 251

bjkumar mian,

....... for once, maybe twice, i agree with you totally - this article is a load of crap by yet another of those islamic apologists who are always trying to justify this thing or that based on their interpretation of gabriel`s garbled goobledygook ........ some other things you can expect from the same crowd :

.... it is never okay to marry your sister to the koran
.....it is never okay to marry your father`s wife even if he never slept with her
.....it is never okay to kick a pig even though he is haram
.....it is never okay to marry your adopted son`t wife
.....it is never okay to destroy a hindoo temple even though it houses obscene idols
.....it is never okay to adopt a son because later on you might want to marry his wife
.... it is never okay to kill an ahmedi for jay walking even though he is a kafir
.....it is never okay to beat your child senseless because he refuses to pray
.....it is okay to pray after you have passed air as long as no fluid was excreted
.....it is never okay to have sex with the lights on
.....it is not okay for men to pee standing up
.....it is okay to pee standing up if you are a woman


.......... and the list goes on and on ........
