I appreciate your consent. I also agree ...@ Vinnie<br /><br />I appreciate your consent. I also agree religions preach good things and we interpret it wrongly - thats why in order to avoid any such foolish things, i am reading on religions but not following any and I am taking the good things preached by all the religions (I have read about Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Jewish, Paganism, Pastafarianism so far and will read about other stuffs soon as well) still I wont follow a religion until one religion which will preach its followers that it is not a great religion and that they dont have to fight with others to uphold the religion and that helping his fellow humans is more important than building a sanctom sanitorium for the god... which Flying Spaghetti Monster does- tats why I am having it as my religion - the day when people start fighting in name of the Spaghetti I will leave it as well...Lancelothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13586725214050434721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726458488765573180.post-64907292750453992702010-09-09T15:29:58.737+08:002010-09-09T15:29:58.737+08:00Dear Lancelot, m not here to convince u to do (or ...Dear Lancelot, m not here to convince u to do (or make u believe) or not to do anything/something,… Only to exchange views (hope its nt a problem) <br /><br />Wt abt the fact that…. Religion gives us a code of conduct, which essentially tells us wts ryt and wts wrong…it also tells us hw one must behave in order to benefit not oneself, but everybody…<br /><br />Krishna says to arjuna in geeta….fight with these ppl (kaurava army) for the society and not fr urself… fight because u have to illustrate/demonstrate that one who does bad, deserves punishment. Krishna dsnt want to persuade arjuna to kill just abt anybody… he sez that if today the wrong doer isn’t punished, he probably never will, because ppl/society looks up to maharathis (and great men) … society follows great men, and if they see that a few maharathis (pandavas n all) let the wrong doers have their way…upon crimes in future, .they (society) will say “if the great men of olden times dint do anything abt this… y shd I give a damn abt it….. y shd I be concerned if somebody’s wife/daughter/sister is being insulted (in the way draupadi was, or even worse)… its nt hurting me directly…y shd I care..” this is wt is happenin today ….. nobody supports ppl who speak against a conventional non ethical system… or many ppl deter to speak in favor of a victim…<br /><br />Dear lancelot, I dun want to name the time and place, bt I hv seen riots too….closely….policemen standing quietly in a group…watching at madmen killing each other….mobs running after girls in a narrow lane with no escape…..ppl with daggers chasing injured/wounded men……. today ppl dun stop to care fr others. But, that is wt humans are TODAY. Religion dictates a code, which if followed, would lead to slow deterioration of societal values,.. this deterioration is bound to happen… but presence of codes of conduct slows it down. <br /><br />Lancelot, if u see somebody beating mercilessly a child or a person who dsnt deserve to be beaten…. Will u nt even once walk up to the cruel person and tell him nt to do so? Well, I would do it… u being a believer of peace (as against the killing of ppl in name of religion), I think u wud too.<br /><br />And hey…yeah…dun write abt shrimaan manu…. <br /><br />I feel religion is good. Its our interpretation of the religion that makes us do wrong things.. as in, hurting/killing ppl in name of religion. And see…. Many ppl are religious, not everybody who is religious is destructive.<br /><br />I appreciate ur hatred against caste system . its a devil and a road block in the creation of a peaceful society. And…. M tryin to learn more abt the CHURCH OF THE FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER … its impressive ;)Vineehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01117028614118027658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726458488765573180.post-86116868672698013602010-09-09T01:31:49.629+08:002010-09-09T01:31:49.629+08:00@ Vinnie-
Somehow I dnt see your comments here j...@ Vinnie- <br /><br />Somehow I dnt see your comments here just get notification from the blogger to my email anyways my reply to your comment as follows (in a friendly manner as well :))<br /><br />1) whats shown in DD is half of what the literature says - so if you haven't read Mahabharatha original text- and I believe its a myth and not a reality or its a fiction based on a real incident of a person who dint belong to any religion;<br /><br />2) Exactly I did what is CORRECT according to me. I hate caste system and any religion for that matter, it rather than making us humans makes us fanatics and make us to kill fellow humans- if religion even it has changed a single human as a creature which kills a fellow human then its not a religion at all...becas I know the way to god its to love my fellow human beings and treat them equally and not to hurt them or cheat them in that way I dont want to fight with them emphasising I am stronger than other religions or I am higher than other castes. If someone or something has preached in that line then I detest them completely and according to me they don't exist. That's why Manu (the mythical character) doesn't exist to me. Well that's me and of course I have a religion its called the CHURCH OF THE FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER you can read about it in google.<br /><br />3) I wont be writing about Manu for sure...

I don't like when someone tries to convince me that every 'V' in the world represents the sacred feminine, while you are quite OK with it. <br />And, by your logic, it seems like you will like every novel under the category fiction, no matter how poorly its written or even how stupid it is. Coz hey! after all its fiction ;)<br />I guess it all comes down to personal taste, how each one of us define "good" "excellent" "bad" "poor" etc. All I want to say is that 'I' think Brown got too excited and over-did the comparisons, so much so that it became annoying to 'me' and 'I' didn't even want to read it fully. I'm sure you have entirely different opinion. So lets agree to differ on that.<br />:)Bulbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06461335034021704090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726458488765573180.post-86538906420753904632010-08-04T10:02:14.861+08:002010-08-04T10:02:14.861+08:00@ Bulb - mate guess I didn't word my previous ...@ Bulb - mate guess I didn't word my previous comment properly as I wrote it in semi slept state- anyways the point is simple - without prejudice (i am not a hardcore fan of Dan brown - I will call myself a hardcore fan of KALKI,JK Rowling and Tolkien) see a fiction as fiction - if its a true story then lets get into details... else stop reading fiction and stick on to Biography/Autobiography/Dictionary etc where there will be no far fetched comparisons ;) I don't see whats wrong in having far fetched comparisons in Fictions - a good message conveyed by means of fiction should be welcomed...Lancelothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13586725214050434721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726458488765573180.post-60698924301212875022010-08-04T09:46:30.656+08:002010-08-04T09:46:30.656+08:00Lol, looks like another hardcore Brown Fan, throwi...Lol, looks like another hardcore Brown Fan, throwing open challenge on mere mention of his name. Okay, I'm not gonna debate too much on that because I read it few years back, I did not read it fully as the ending was obvious ,I have forgotten half of what I read, and I really was not interested to read it till the end. But I did a quick search on the net and could come up with a lot of reviews stating specifically that most of Brown's "facts" are historically wrong. (Read some of the Amazon reviews by readers). But my point about far-fetched comparison was not on the factual side, it was rather on how Brown tries to draw comparison in every small thing and tries to make the reader believe what he says is true. I guess last few paras of this blog puts in words what I want to say:<br /> http://totaldrek.blogspot.com/2004/08/da-vinci-crap.html<br /><br />So now I hope I have cleared up what I meant by "how we get excited and carried away by these comparisons and we tend to over-do it, making far fetched comparisons."<br /><br />Cheers :)Bulbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06461335034021704090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726458488765573180.post-5871470586842855782010-08-03T16:34:56.139+08:002010-08-03T16:34:56.139+08:00@ Bulb
Thanks for believing in my post. And as I...@ Bulb <br /><br />Thanks for believing in my post. And as I have mentioned both in my posts and in my comments I hate Manu for being the root cause of all the caste difference in India- moreover Manu is more of an Aryan concept which I don't want to dwell into as it always triggers controversy... as I am from Thanjavur and Siva's story is something we all very well known of made a comparison with it, its like tying a cow in coconut tree story. Anyway the message is not about which mythological story is more closely connected it is about protecting Planet earth not only just for humans but also for other fellow living things. Hope it is conveyed to you.<br /><br />P.S: I dint think Dan Brown has done any far fetched comparison in Davinci Code- I for one being a lawyer verify the given facts before coming into conclusions- so probably you need to research more on the facts stated in the book and try to disprove it before stating he has made a wrongful comparison... cheers :)Lancelothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13586725214050434721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726458488765573180.post-43904705047958192462010-08-03T15:42:16.061+08:002010-08-03T15:42:16.061+08:00Hi Lance(commenting on your old post),
I too ha...Hi Lance(commenting on your old post),<br /> I too have similar thoughts about religions and mythology (and I'm inclined towards Athiesm, even though I do say "Oh God" when i'm in distress.) So happy to see your post. I have found such comparisons interesting while reading all those "Amar chitra kadha" during school days. <br /><br />But, I think the comparison between Manu and Noah is more logical rather than Shiva and Noah.(But for some reason unknown to me, you hate Manu and decides to mess up your post with ur far fetched comparison).<br /><br />I can find many similarities:<br /><br />1) Both Noah and Manu were not Gods.<br />2) Both were chosen by God to lead mankind.<br />3) The obvious similarity of the Ark/boat<br />4) More probability of storing the seeds of life as living animals/birds rather than "seeds"<br />5) The mention of mountain in both as safe place to overcome the flood.<br />And i believe there were many other similarities in detailing of both the stories (like use of birds to know if flood is over), which I dont remember now.<br /><br />So my point of this post is not to say you're wrong or anything, but to say that we should not see these epics/myths as just fiction, but as the dramatized narration of few events which happened during those times. And I believe the characterization of most Gods (like siva, vishnu, krishna) are based on powerful people who existed and controlled others. <br /> <br />One more thing i noticed is how we get excited and carried away by these comparisons and we tend to over-do it, making far fetched comparisons. (Like Dan Brown in DaVinci code, ugh I hated it after a point). <br /><br />Anyways enough rambling. Thank you for the post. It reminded me of some of my childhood interests. <br /><br />CheersBulbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06461335034021704090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726458488765573180.post-79468020575826595032009-03-04T11:59:00.000+08:002009-03-04T11:59:00.000+08:00thank u LV :)thank u LV :)Lancelothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13586725214050434721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726458488765573180.post-5026418777443920782009-03-03T17:10:00.000+08:002009-03-03T17:10:00.000+08:00Very interesting and enlighteningVery interesting and enlighteningLVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186747867067596682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726458488765573180.post-26634309475267010482009-03-03T07:03:00.000+08:002009-03-03T07:03:00.000+08:00@ Wolfkaruthu sonnalae makkal virumbaa matteengale...@ Wolf<BR/><BR/>karuthu sonnalae makkal virumbaa matteengale *puppy dog face*Lancelothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13586725214050434721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726458488765573180.post-28822630782556809132009-03-02T23:43:00.000+08:002009-03-02T23:43:00.000+08:00wowww.w.. epdi nalla aaramichi mokkaiya mudikarthu...wowww.w.. epdi nalla aaramichi mokkaiya mudikarthu nu un kitta than kathukanumElithraniel Arawionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18404123710363962772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726458488765573180.post-15047205301268524682009-03-02T16:01:00.000+08:002009-03-02T16:01:00.000+08:00@ CHRIZ MACHAN antha rangeukku poga naan bhakthi k...@ CHRIZ MACHAN<BR/><BR/> antha rangeukku poga naan bhakthi kathaigal sollanumnu avasiyamae illa 10 rapeu 2 murder panna pothum :PLancelothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13586725214050434721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726458488765573180.post-75215635865111048232009-03-02T15:44:00.000+08:002009-03-02T15:44:00.000+08:00lancelot!you are becoming a god manpremananda...je...lancelot!<BR/><BR/>you are becoming a god man<BR/><BR/>premananda...<BR/>jeyandrar..<BR/><BR/>are you joining the line too bro?<BR/><BR/>comedyaa irundhaalum nalla irundhuchuAnyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15075389523682588148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726458488765573180.post-5782829741352506062009-03-02T14:31:00.000+08:002009-03-02T14:31:00.000+08:00Dhankee mr kartik,,,Dhankee mr kartik,,,Lancelothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13586725214050434721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726458488765573180.post-27038007173557327492009-03-02T14:29:00.000+08:002009-03-02T14:29:00.000+08:005[:)]5[:)]You Know Phoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15033830437374094581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726458488765573180.post-25159030257761103732009-03-01T20:13:00.000+08:002009-03-01T20:13:00.000+08:00@ swatithanks...@ swati<BR/><BR/>thanks...Lancelothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13586725214050434721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726458488765573180.post-52975623723918007542009-03-01T20:10:00.000+08:002009-03-01T20:10:00.000+08:00@ Kartikcha en bloga vijay movie kuda compare pann...@ Kartik<BR/><BR/>cha en bloga vijay movie kuda compare panni asinga paduthitiyaedaa...<BR/><BR/>and of course the creation of both of us...Lancelothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13586725214050434721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726458488765573180.post-31246654529739780202009-03-01T20:05:00.000+08:002009-03-01T20:05:00.000+08:00nice post.nice post.swathi paul(dew drop)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03980542508056486239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726458488765573180.post-33067203775158661992009-03-01T14:20:00.000+08:002009-03-01T14:20:00.000+08:00Remake padam paaartha maadhiri irundhuchuVIJAY n t...Remake padam paaartha maadhiri irundhuchu<BR/><BR/>VIJAY n telugu film<BR/><BR/>jackie chan in tamil film<BR/><BR/>Tamila potha interseting ah irukkum!!!
