Rumour of paper idol desecration sparks violence

oct 30th, 2009

the koran is the ultimate idol (along with the bible). hard to believe a piece of paper can become 'holy' just because there are some ink marks on it.

this is just like the stinking desert has become the 'holy land' [sic] -- truth by repeated assertion.

"The monotheist reaches the limit of the ludicrous when he struts around as an iconoclast or a butshikan, saying that the false Gods of the infidels could not save themselves from his sword and fire. He secretly expects the idols to perform the same sort of miracles as he attributes to the saliva, the hair, the shoe, the shirt, and the shroud of his own prophets and saints. But if he is requested that his own relics be subjected to the same physical test, he loses his balance, shouts that his religion is being insulted, and takes to violence at very short notice."

Yes, this bishop is being cursed by other christists and some are calling him and his church as 'satanic' etc..

But hearing an apology is a 'change' from what we actually from these godmen.

Rajeev,

I am waiting for your opinion on the Maharashtra elections.
