Classical Brahmanism (if eastern religion means such) requires the right birth, right cast, at first place. If one isn't a "child of God", si.ilar with Jewish Brahmans, one is far of of the "auspicious clan". So pretty nonsensical to grasp it from outwardly as it comes. Aside that it's wrong...

Do "religious" people here have themselves interests above the world, beyond sensuality? So it's just running the way desired. Conflicts are always for sure if higher is used for serving low. By the way "religious freedom" is a total absurdum, since re-legion means (re)bond. One who seeks for...

As they believe such, they remain inactive in efforts to change their ways, from bad habits to what's releasing. Reasoning for that kind of effortlessness are countless, but fall into the rubric of Tittha Sutta: Sectarians. ...and there are also those who think to act on, given and dictated, by...

Total reasonable once having surveying a little, good householder, as of course my person fault in regard of to long. Which seems to be clear, and so better back to what's proper: Take care, time's precious!

A religious forum, spirtual forum suggest by definition of this name, that there are interests beyong sensual satisfaction, beyong flesh. Maybe more accurate to ask why somebody who doesn't have faith in lesser painful and destructive seeks such forums, good householder. Actually it's nearly...

Further even to act, speak and think right and useful, and to ask if not knowing right or wrong for long term happiness. Fearing to do such is just because fearing the lose of latent desired dependency, eg. evil association which, at least provides with low joy. It's not a matter of allowed or...

Good householder certain does not stick with good governance, but just follows his Jain-Nissaya and it's ditthi-anusaya: Adhipateyya Sutta: Governing Principles It's certain foolish to live in dependency but deny debts, still of bonds of desire but thinks independent. That's the effect of long...
