This is my blog. Not my wikipedia article. Pandavas-Gauravas do seem like stupid people to me. I had also given reasons why I think they were stupid.<BR/><BR/>>> I see here that you claim that you are not an agnostic, and have "leaped" into atheism. To "decide", you must have information/facts that support/catalyse the decision. <BR/><BR/>So you decide a person's intellectual and philosophical acumen based on his blog? In anycase that "decision" was mine to make. I had all the time in the world and enough knowledge (I think) to make the leap.<BR/><BR/>>> I do not see you presenting any such thing, nor can I discern any useful proposition from the array of words that you have transcribed.<BR/><BR/>I only gave some definitions. My positions on them are just a clarification. When I'll be explaining why I see Krishna and Shankara as atheists, I'll need these definitions.<BR/><BR/>>> In fact, your position on God will not hold water anywhere expect on your blog. You disclaim the existence of an object, whatever its definition may be!<BR/><BR/>This is an interesting problem. How do you prove something which doesn't exist? Lot of people have their own definitions for God. So I proposed if anyone can give me a definition, I'll tell him/her whether I accept that definition and if I do, why I claim that 'God' doesn't exist. <BR/><BR/>For example, if someone says Love is God, then I would like to know why should I not call it just Love? But if the question was about say Paramatma, I will argue why Paramatma doesn't exist.<BR/><BR/>I think I'll be writing one or two more posts in this series to explain my atheism a little more and then to claim Krishna/Shankara as atheists.<BR/><BR/>>> This is a pugnacious argument and school-boyishly immature. If this is how you argue, little wonder, then, that Vijay "accepted" your "atheism"!<BR/><BR/>Well, my discussions with Vijay are evidently at a higher intellectual level than what I can manage in a blog. And btw he didn't accept atheism. We could just see what he calls as God and why I don't think that 'God' exists.Balaji Chitra Ganesanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946132372838633092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11023403.post-59899593923054127872007-10-29T04:37:00.000+05:302007-10-29T04:37:00.000+05:30Balaji,When I used the word "criticism" in my comm...Balaji,<BR/><BR/>When I used the word "criticism" in my commment on your prev post, it was with reference, in great measure, to your "tone".

Especially, when there is a flood of conflicting beliefs and customs. A person should be free to follow what is accessible to him or attainable by him. Otherwise, what you call a religion would be more akin to a cult.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11023403.post-67287293376032802902007-10-27T18:07:00.000+05:302007-10-27T18:07:00.000+05:30"I think creationism is bull-crap." Well, you just..."I think creationism is bull-crap." <BR/><BR/>Well, you just think. I am pretty sure that calling yourself an aethist and a Hindu at the same time is the filthiest BULL's SHIT I have ever known. A Hindu is one who believes and follows Hinduism (all of it, not just what he likes; which by the way is a religion that believes in GOD and is not a CLUB), period. World would better agree if you call yourself a Tamil (LTTE or not) and an aethist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
