Such anonymous commentators are spineless jealous buggers who can't stand the popularity of your blog. There is no real reason than the ones stated in the previous sentence that explains why they do what they do. You should not even bother wasting time on replying to their comments.

That way, there is no possibility of a stray spark that can ignite the gasoline fumes.

And no amount of intellectual crap can justify that. Whatever be the differences or similarities, killing innocent people to prove a point (if there is one?) is simply wrong.

Doesnt a dilemma have to involve a (difficult) <b>choice</b>?? (Like whether to do A or B and both choices are equally dis/appealing) !!!

Can a person follow a religion and still be an athiest. I was arguing with my brother -in-law who is supposed to be a Buddhist-Athiest about this paradox Hi Sidin
