I know you didn't imply that. 🙂
😊
I'm merely pointing out that Deepika's example is not the right one if you're talking about flaws in interpretation of religion. Whether you agree with her views or not. You noticed i only said i didn't agree with her views nothing else. She got so offended she attacked my religion as well. Was that tolerance ?
Definitely not. It's quite natural from anyone from a different religion to ask different question. Like I used to bug my friends so much. But it would be appreciated if people took it positively and clarified those topics.
👍🏼 In my case it's the opposite more on that later
Secondly the kind of rational discussions on religion you're proposing was possible in the 90's it is not now. That's what i meant by 90's tv shows & their audiences. We've all seen it that whether it is on India forums or other networking sites. Whenever religion is discussed someone either uses sensitivity as an excuse to stir up divisions or there's always room to misinterpret things. People invariably have to watch out for their words. In that kind of atmosphere is a discussion possible ? No i don't think so. I'm not arguing that you or M or anyone else don't have the right to get offended if u find something wrong. I do too. I'm arguing the point that the concept Religious sensitivity is now become synonymous to religious intolerance these days. You both brought up the topic. I'm adding my views to it.
Sad but true. Yes, unfortunately religious issues have become ticking time bombs. Personally had an encounter with an Idiot who despite explanation chose to be an ass. So all I can do is to ignore them. Why should I refrain from a healthy discussion with another friend just because someone might poke his/her nose. You are most welcome to join us.
🤔 Maybe i ought to take leaf from you. I know how to deal with trolls not with those kinds of people.
Seeing you two so boldly discussing religion tho makes me a bit apprehensive. These kinds of conversations normally brings some backlash. Well if you guys are confident of handling it more power to you..
I know you have had bad experience and so do I. But I am positive about the current forum members and hopefully we have the decency to agree to disagree. So don't worry. 🙂
