Religiosity Vs. Piety

A Shiraz February 1, 2005

dear arthur shiraz: no religiosity from my side at all but trust me, you torpedoed a strong topic and a great subject by evaluating on the basis of religion. religions do not outdo eachother in comparison. it`s against the very basis of every religion. they rather instruct their followers to be flexible in learning from eachother. a bad deed of a son does not mean that father was so. and thus a bad deed of a follower does not mean his religion or his religiosity is such.

secondly, all religions reserve space for the sins and bad deeds of its followers. none of them ever wanted to see theri followers as angels. we as human beings should and must understand that. but unfortunately, your essay denied this very fact of understanding.

i wish if you were able to rise above the potential shallowness of the subject that finally caught you and destroyed a very strong theme.

better luck next time.
