** Personal Comment -- these written words being put here again because it's not important, relevant yes quite a few have been persecuting and hounding me over the net, on the verge of spilling into my personal world. Certain issues are sensitive. But it's time we took a stance -- may be for or against. But a debate is always welcome.
Personally I am a pantheist. I do not believe in a personalized god. We don't have to debate over why not or why. It is important that we. Evolve, and continue a process of 'filtration' leaving behind the irrelevant and move ahead with the good ones.
No god is fit to worshipped if a human life is lost in its name. Man is important. Not god.
Believers in that god should take steps to ensure that their god is dissociated from crime and cruelty. They cannot sit completely inert. If that is not possible, believers should take steps to ensure that the religion be modified so not to include anything that becomes an excuse to hurt Life.
If that is not possible, the religion is disbanded. Every believer has a responsibility. Each time a life is taken, the culpability hounds every single believer. In that way all of them become responsible each time a life is taken. One can't absolve him/herself with the 'alibi' that there is not even a remote connection. Because there is.
Some people shall never understand that more the degree of repression, stronger the resilience of the repressed. Because while you can repress a voice, to silence for ever, you cannot repress the spirit of freedom that lies inside man. For it is not mine, it is a gift I've been blessed just by being born as a human being. The spirit to break free, the spirit to feel free has been passed down generations of my antecedents, and it is impossible to repress the human spirit. You can kill, shoot, stab, burn at the stake a human being but being a man cannot be terminated forever. You can break and destroy a pen. But you can never stop the pen, or express in any possible way.
While I shall never apologize for what I said and shall continue to do so, I'm sorry for having hurt one's religious sentiments, but I am not sorry for What I say. Never.
A diehard follower of Dire Straits' and Mark Knopffler, as some of us used to sing once, I couldn't imagine that these words would ever be more than a song :
Man's too Big,
Man's too Strong...
