		<description><![CDATA[Am excited by, another one, of your &#039;penetrating&#039; posers.

Have listened carefully to the Video. My perception is that ,notwithstanding the laboured logic of much common ground between Budhism and Christianity, the Missionary is NOT conceding theological inclusiveness/identity. Exclusivity is a fundamental core value of the latter faith- in fact of all the faiths of the Book. You can reach the Heavenly FATHER only through Jesus. Contrary is the case with the Eastern faiths, which are inclusive -one universe-one God- especially the Santanis.

In this context you can have spiritual unity but Not religious multiplicity of the kind you suggest.

Ponder and revert- I am sending this in a hurry.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think it is the most beautiful idea you have generated and needs to be taken up and pursued.

In fact, I never realised that though I am a Hindu and strongly believe that it is the most progressive, tolerant  and modern religion in practice, I religiously attend all functions in Gurudwaras, visit Golden temple, also visit mosques, churches, buddhist stupas with equal devotion and respect.


 After I read your mail, I strongly feel that I too am multi religionist. In fact most of us Indians, are brought up that way and for greater unity this awareness needs to be spread.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I admire your philosophical bend of mind. One way or the other all religions are evolved from older beliefs and practices and at the roots are connected. so no one is 100% believer only in one religion. We have respect for other religions too and some case are multi- religious in practice.]]></description>

In fact put any thing into compartments is seldom a good idea.
Nature does not like it that way]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Very interesting question. I too had an argument with census officials about three months back. When they  asked me about my religion. I explained that I belong to a small Kodava Tribe ( about couple of lakhs in the whole World) without the Scheduled Tribe status as comparatively, we are better educated providing two Army Chiefs viz Fd Marshal K M Cariappa and Gen KS Thimmaya. We consider Nature as our God of which we are a part ( More in the line of Darwins Theory of Evolution). Our salvation depends on understanding God than offering prayers. We do not use priests in any of our festivals and rituals. We do not have Religious books. We do not need them as Nature itself is our Book. We consider our elders as our Gurus who teach us more by personal example. All they taught us was to be hard working, honest, humane and enjoy our lives within the bounds of social norms. These teachings are good enough to lead a meaningful life. There are some teachings in other religions, which reinforces our simple faith. After hearing my sermon, the census officials marked my religion as Hindu( Kodava Tribe) as they  explained that in India all small faiths like mine other than Muslims, Sikhs, Budhists, Jains, Parsies etc are broadly classified as Hindus. I told them that  thanks to the ethos followed in the Defence Services, I have learnt to be an Indian and a responsible world citizen. They left with  broad grins in their faces making  laudatory comments about the Armed Forces.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We all follow more than one faith ... the good values from each and / or the convenient ones that suit the occasion.  But for the sake of classifying ourselves, we need  to stick to one that pervades our thinking the most.  

 

My first exposure to religion was from my mother who was from a Sikh family.  The influence of my paternal grandmother and her saturating me with Hindu mythology was equally overwhelming.  My first teacher who taught me Arabic script, was a Mullah, and most classmates who were Muslims, had profound influence on my belief.  My later school education after partition from Nuns exposed me to Christianity to a very great extent.  All in all, I found goodness in every faith and imbibed all values that were laid in my formative years.  But for the sake of classifying myself into a particular denomination, I chose Sikhism because it was simple to follow and easy to understand ... while all my siblings have classified themselves as Hindus.  As a Sikh or Hindu I should not be eating beef.  But I have eaten beef many times and I justify it with an argument that if a Muslim, a Christian and a Buddhist is still assured a place in Heaven after eating beef, why will God punish me for doing that?  I did not come across another girl in my life worth marrying again or I might have converted to Islam to justify such adventure.  These are all convenient argument and we all indulge in this kind of justifications to cover up our digressions.  Therefore, as I said above:
