<b>I have just one little difference with you. I doubt that many of the
Hindus who protested against distortions suggested by the Hindutwa
lobby frequent temples of worship. If they did, they would not be
protesting so vehemently against HEF and VF and their suggestions. I
think the sooner we convert temples of all religions into museums,
schools, libraries and community centers, the better off we will all
be. Our salvation lies not in reform but rejection of all kinds of
silly divinities. As for codes of behavior, it should only be guided
by logical (rational) thinking and analysis about the consequences
of various kinds of behavior rather than by blind faith in any kind
of divinity or traditions or whatever was our forefathers'
worldviews. In spite of this kind of belief, if I were to go to
temples and go through silly rituals, that would be pretending and
doing injustice to myself and to others. Temples, particularly Hindu
temples, are not vacuums to be occupied by us, they have rather
poisonous atmosphere that need to be avoided. </b>
