Post 8 test

Itz a question of faith?

Faith has been such a sensitive topic, as over time, we have chosen to abide by the rules of respecting the other man's perspective. When controversies arise in such "tender" issues, there is an unparalleled consensus among these packs of diplomats iterating that issues of faith should not be scratched as they would hurt the religious sentiments of the masses.

We can never set forth an argument scrutinizing the basis of faith, for it can never be discussed under the umbrella of reasoning via logic. It is like the very many scientific theories which were built on the basis of axioms that are assumed to be true and out of which burgeon very many corollaries which form the basis of an entire vertical of knowledge. The good thing about scientific method of operation is the consistency of theories during the course of time and the process of feedback to accommodate new observations. Theories are dumped if they are proved to be false.

Religion is a different ball game; it is more of the morality syndrome which hacks the mind. It’s an unsaid rule, one should never dare to utter blasphemous statements, just becomes it hurts the religious sentiments. There has been a recent row regarding the Ram sethu issue, MK had a rationalistic attitude towards his remarkable question "Was Ram a engineer?", the response was even more thought provoking when one of the VHP senior head quoted a price for MK's head. My foot, If this is the dimension of morality that people of faith in Ram's principle come up with, I would rather screw Ramaology and his followers.
