[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9640997, member: 2844"]You're right, komo. I don't think there is anything to agree or disagree about when it comes to religion. My issue is with unfounded claims and gross generalizations in general. That doesn't have to do with religion, but with lack of information and an inclination to generalize. You may notice in my posts throughout Antiquers that I never judge religions or beliefs, dualist or otherwise. Nor do I make unfounded statements about beliefs, and there are reasons for that. One reason is that I simply don't feel the need to. Another is that I respect that beliefs are important to people. A very pressing reason at the moment is the safety of people who have sensitive backgrounds. And I would ask people to think about that aspect before they make random statements. Remember the Dukun killings on Java, not too long ago. Those murdered Dukuns were regarded as "dark". And think what could happen in the current climate in the West regarding the political situation in the world. There are some hotheads out there who are looking for a reason, just like on Java. This is a public forum, so anyone can read those random statements and think they are true. And this is the last I will say about it.[/QUOTE]
