^^^

That would make sense if every private institution of public services are all run like schools. Besides even a school would be culpable if they discriminated against a race.

To clarify, I have never used these 'terms' out of disrespect or lack of reverence.

Faith and belief is what makes something holy, reverent and important. This faith is irreversible, and each person who has faith will see temples, churches, mosques, in their own unique perception of faith. Faith is emotional and you cannot argue or debate with faith.

So sometimes in order to debate you have to take away some of the emotions attached to it and debate based on the core logical terms. Now I know faith is strong with some people, and such things are unpalatable. But if it is legitimate rhetoric you are interested in then you know that appeal to emotions (anger, faith, sympathy, love etc) is considered a fallacy.

Isnt that true almost everytime we end up hurting someone with a careless statement.. nobody means it.. but it somehow tramples sensitivities.. As much is faith about our personal beliefs and things we are sensitive about we it is about being sensitive to what other people are sensitive to....sometimes not being bad doesnt make it good.. 😊.. but I am not speaking about myself.. but in general.. i know what you weren't saying 😊

Its sad,

Places of worship, religion should teach you to love everyone, not discriminate anyone because they are not the same race, religion or because they dont share the same faith as you. Religion is suppose to teach love for all people, after al God is suppose to be fair and equal to his children right? If places of worship/religion is going to teach you to build walls against anyone different from you then i am better off being an atheists then following such practice.

Why do people have to be so sensitive where religion is concerned? 😕 If they truly understand their religion there would be no such intolerence on calling a place of worship as structure, or pvt institute etc . Dont they have anything more substantial to worry about ?

But why give up worshipping God just because of a handful of mischiefmongers? Besides a place of worship isnt mandatory to worship !

Just as we dont tolerate disrespect for our parents (I assume thats still on and not debatable.. u never know) its similar........when we deal with humnans with diversity.. we need to understand them and their customs... I am not saying calling a temple structure is bad but it does matter in what context one is saying it.. An architect can call it structure without being called out for disrespect.. but a layperson may not.. because of the context involved... the bottom line is we try to hurt more often than not.. there is always some covert pleasure in being mean.... most of us dont admit that either... 😊

whos talking about giving up here?? the point is about the attitude about the exclusiveless of God's devotees and the propertization of God- here the entire matter is being debated from the side of the People who are the owners of that Temple, the ones who call themselves the voice of god; honestly, you seriously dont think that this should'nt be tried over for discrimination, do you?

Once again, temple is not a public property. And I thought you are debating against the people who are the owners of the temple.
And do you really think that this should be tried for discrimination? Well then list the charges, let's hear how they have discriminated.

silple. It is an out-and -out discrimination against those not belonging to the HIndu faith, and is guilty of restricting entry to people in a place where they might want to be for, spiritual, entertainment, or aesthetic purposes....the dimension that adds to the seriousness of the harge is that human beings are being discrminated on basis of their faith.

i think that tells about enough.😉
