*Dear Dr. Jiten Roy;*
Thank you. You have spelled my name wrong!! I understand, it has been
unintentional and typographical mistake; no big deal and no bone of
contention at all, please!!
Though it appears that we are in the same boat; yet I disagree with you on
that "in America most conservatives are usually not religious". Well, Pat
Robertson or Jerry Falwell are/were not only conservative with deep
religious convictions but there are so many of them around those are
politically conservative too. Also, not all non-religious people are
liberals! *Our religiously Conservative mother Theresa was the champion of
Liberal minds but still would have said "NO" to all your questions except
probably Number 2, I just guess!* What do you have in mind about that?
So, your "NO responses" to all 5 questions and my "NO responses" to at least
4 questions are NOT in the same page of music. Our common "NO responses"
have "un-common" roots and thus have come out from *"different ideals"*.
That is what I exactly wished to broach earlier; bringing the issues like
"Morality", "Right and Wrong" and those have pretty much nothing to do with
the religions in its real term but with the definition of Liberals and
Conservatives. I could easily claim myself to be a moderate and my truculent
oppositions against homosexuality, same sex marriages, abortion and
pornography are not meant to hate anyone or any group but only to be kind
and to recognize the laws of mother nature; as we usually do. I have also
doubted if many liberals shall come up clean when you ask them whether they
would ever abort their own child; and indeed they will surely say *"NO" *with
"superior and lengthy explanation" but still shall claim to be a proud
liberal. Obviously, this is their visible weakness as Liberals. Keeping
aside any or all religions; first of all, we need to and must *define
"Morality" and why "Morality" is all that important for human civilization.*
*The actual dilemma is exactly and only our "conflicts" over "definition of
Morality" that gives birth to Liberals, Conservatives, moderates and
extremists.
*
Thank you.
