----------------------------
I wasn't born in India and had been there for a short while. I was born in
a Hindu family and am a free thinker. I believe everybody has the right to
think freely and express freely.
I believe that nothing is still in this universe. Once things are still
means end of it.
Every thing, like tradition, culture, literature, music, language, science
and off course religion must chage according to the time, place and
conditions. That is how we progress.
If there had been no changes, we do not have all these cultures in the
first place.
We still live in caves and hunt for food.
So please do not stick to the old traditions and religion. Try to make it
more suitable and acceptable to our society where we live. That is how all
the traditions and religions are developed over the centuries.
Talking about children, I have two and they are very polite, sicere and
humble without any exposure to the religion. I am grateful to my late
parents who never impose any religion on us.
