தருமி: மதங்களும் சில விவாதங்களும் -- நூல் வாங்க .. இங்கே வாங்க ....

தருமி: மதங்களும் சில விவாதங்களும் -- நூல் வாங்க .. இங்கே வாங்க ...







God should be omniscient (knowing that a rape is going to take place), omnipotent (having the ability to stop that rape), benevolent (the merciful disposition to stop that rape), and omnipresent (present everywhere, all the time).

The fact that a rape takes place also means that God had known about it beforehand and in fact,is right there in the midst of that scene, doing nothing about it.

Do we need such an impotent deity?  We don't need consolation; we need security before the event occurs. We can't blame the whole thing on satan or fate.

Bharathiyar says, 'If a single individual goes hungry, it is cause enough to destroy this world'.

We should say, if a single rape takes place, it should be cause enough to destroy all religious structures.

Madhangalum, sila vivadhangalum is a wake-up call to everyone. We need to recognize religion as a power structure created by vested interests.

Humanism is good enough for all of us. We don't need forces descending from heaven. If a person requires religion to make him good, then only God can help him.

rolling stone

A rolling stone gathers no moss. I've been moving around and gathering no moss whatsoever all my life which may or may not be good thing. After heartily congratulating myself I lie down and stare up at the ceiling, and I notice that you cannot apply the rolling stone principle to the rotating fan blade. The more the blades rotate the more the dust they collect. As soon as I find out the philosophical significance of this I will let the world know.
