A communist point of view

“At the Same time, I concluded that God as a creator of this world could be conceived only in three ways either as a rogue who sanctioned and shared in the roguery prevalent in his world, or as an imbecile who could no more control what he had created, or as a samyasin (recluse) who no more cared for what was happening to his creatures. if God was a rogue, we had to rise in revolt against his rule. If he was an imbecile, we could forget him and take charge of the world ourselves. And if he was a samyasin, he could mind his business while we minded our own. The scriptures, however, held out a different version of God and his role. That version was supported neither by experience nor by reason. The scriptures should, therefore, be burnt in a bonfire, preferably during winter when it could provide some warmth.”

 

His earlier views by Sita Ram Goel on ‘How I became a Hindu”. Captivating read. I am just going on.

YOPER - Your Own Operating System



Claims to be the fastest out-of-the-box linux system. Had won the DesktopLinux poll for the best distro of the year. Although the intention is suspected.
