Why are you so zealously repeating over and over again your point without even considering someone else's point? What only you say is right and everything else is hatred, SOV? What kind of black-and-white thinking is this? Who makes you believe that I'm hating Christians and Muslims? (You even think that I'm a member of the Sangh, which if I would have been, shouldn't even then have been anything of your business. I've already said that I don't belong to any faction) That's your interpretation. Your remark does say more about you than about me. You either think that one has to be totally non-critical and thus loving or one is critical and must be hating. What sheer nonsense. No one in the world, besides people who don't know how to discuss and exchange ideas in a critical mature way, use this childish criterion. Lesson one in discussion: never accuse, especially when you don't agree. Whatever you have to say, please provide evidence which makes sense. Lesson two: No generalizations. Specify what you want to say in an exact manner. Lesson three: Stick to the subject matter. Don't jump from one to another without link. Lesson four: Do distinguish what is a discussion and what is indoctrination. This is a forum where everybody may express his/hers idea, even one with black-and-white ideas. Lesson five: A discussion is meant for (self)development. But with you I see an increase of a political thought mixed with religious backing. If you want freedom and respect for your ideas, you have to accept that with others too who have deviating ideas. So you have to communicate and not dictate and patronise. The first and last lesson of Hinduism is humbleness or Namrat�. That's what the Atman knows, but the Ahamkara forgets. I believe you forgot a lot, SOV. You think, feel and react too much with your Ahamkara and forgot humbleness. Patronising (Aham-tattva) is contrary to humbleness (Atma-tattva). No other person on this forum shouts so loudly to pretend to be on the right track. No other person shouts so loudly that others are on the worst track. This is far from being humble. This is far from being a Hindu.
