Started writing this as a comment to his post ;) ... but quickly became larger than life ... So i decided to post this .. I knew i said i wont talk about God ... But ... I dont kno ... Im sorry if i said something wrong ... Now onto subject ...

I dont understand whats so much here to discuss ... caste system is simply a division ... like in the modern era we have different trades like automobile, electronics, mechanical, chemical engineering, arts, crafts, etc ... the only difference as far as i see it is that instead of universities the children were taught by their parents ... its sooo obvious that the only thing that a parent can teach his offspring is the one in which he himself excels ... is it a wonder why some people are better skilled in some jobs when they were doing it for generations? ... they know the tricks of the trade ... nothing more nothing less ...

let me round this off with another thought ... heard about something called history? ... about czars of russia? the french revolution? british colonialisation? Civil rights movement? martin luther king jr? gandhi? eanthinu hitler? ...

Its in human blood to feel superior ... and to claim superiority ... why do we feel superior to any other animal in this planet? ... if we have a right to feel superior about our place in this planet, Hitler had every right to feel that nazis are superior to jews ... Note- im not supporting hitler, but is trying to prove in vain we are just a peckle of dust in this universe ... that is by our(yours actually ;) ) current knowledge and belief ...

So my questions .. please try to answer frankly to yourself ..
Phase 1
1)Do you feel superior to any living thing in this planet?
2)If you do why are you feeling like that?
3)Because you are intelligent? because you can think? or because you believe god created us in his own image? .. oops sorry for that one #-o
4)Tell me what is the meaning of an IQ test?
5)Do you think all humans are equal in their IQ?
7)If you dont think so ... whats the position of your mentally retarded brother, son, sister, daughter?
8)Is he an animal?
9)Nooo? Im really surprised :O
10)So you could not classify humans with respect to their IQ levels?
11)Do you believe genes have anything to do with the determination of IQ?
11)If you do whats the big deal about somebody claiming some race is superior to others?
12)So why the hell are people crying over a simple class system which is establised because of three reasons i)the mode of education is by mouth ii)people favour their own offsprings when the passing valuable information to the next generation iii)rules of the society is determined by the age of development ...
13)If humans can be classified into races, wont every race have their own traits?
14)Does it mean some people are superior? (and you hate caste system? right?)
15)If you believe in equality among humans, how can we claim humans being superior to animals?
16)Why cannot we call one of us (a mentally retarded) an animal? .. simply because of our superiority complex ...
17)Or do you still think genes make the difference? ... rem hitler? ...
18)So u accepts all living things are equal? ... If you got my point about equality between humans and animals and divisions based on thinking capacity and IQ is BS plz continue ... else you can stop reading and skip the rest of this post ...
19)So you came to the conclusion all are equal?
You have two answers YES and NO

Phase 2
1)Tell me do you people believe in Heaven?
2)If you do will there be anything there? material things?
3)If there are material things, there will be chairs? ... im not being sarcastic ... please continue ...
4)Ofcourse landscapes will be there right?
5)Will there be animals?
6)Yes??? Nooo??? ... Confused???
7)What will happen to your cat?
8)Will your cat accompany you to heaven?
You have two answers YES and NO

Case - 1
Phase 1 =Yes and Phase 2 = Yes
Possible Conclusions of Phase 1

1)You believe in equality between all humans
2)You believe in equality between all animals
3)You no longer have any superiority complex
4)You believes in taking care of you mentally retarded son or daughter
5)Simply said you believe everyone and everything have a right to live irrespective of caste, creed or species.

Possible Conclusions of Phase 2

1)You believe in heaven
2)You believe animals have their right to heaven
3)You may believe animals have an animal heaven
4)You may believe other religions have separate heavens, petnamed as hell as per the beliefs of your religion.
5)You may believe in separate gods, governing separate territories in heaven, recruiting people of only their own religion to their heaven and condems the others to hell named as heaven in their own system of faith.

Conclusion ... You accept all living things are equal and everything and everyone has a place in heaven irrespective of genes, caste, creed or religion

Case - 2
Phase 1 = Yes and Phase 2 = No
Possible Conclusions of Phase 1

1)You believe in equality between all humans
2)You believe in equality between all animals
3)You no longer have any superiority complex
4)You believes in taking care of you mentally retarded son or daughter
5)Simply said you believe everyone and everything have a right to live irrespective of caste, creed or species.

Possible Conclusions of Phase 2

1)You believe animals do not have a right to heaven
3)You still believe humans are superior to animals
4)You believe your mentally retarded brother wont follow you to heaven simply because he cannot understand your religious text, religion or because he is incapable of understanding its teachings.
5)You believe he will be allowed access to heaven simply because his father is a believer, you have to accept god looks at genes or heridity as a criteria for admission ... i dont think god and caste will mix ... do u?
6)You believe if an ape can understand your religious teachings he will be allowed entry.
7)You may believe animals have animal heaven.

Conclusion ... You believe in equality among humans only in their right to live ... You dont believe in equality after death ... IQ and genes still count even after death ... You still have superiority complex ...

Case - 3
Phase 1 = No and Phase 2 = Yes
Possible Conclusions of Phase 1

1)You are a racist or speciest ... whatever

Possible Conclusions of Phase 2

1)You believe in heaven and want to take your cat there

Conclusion ... You are the rebirth of hitler trapped in the body of a PETA activist ... simply because 1 and 2 wont mix ... you cant believe in equality after death if you dont believe in equality before death  ...


Case - 4
Phase 1 = No and Phase 2 = No
Possible Conclusions
Conclusions ...
1)You are an atheist ...
2)Or you must be Me
Special Note:- I said "OR" ... thats right "OR" ... I dont believe in superiority but i dont believe in equality either ... I believe in God but i dont believe in heaven ... Or simply said my perception of superiority, equality, god and heaven is different ... I dont have time to explain in detail ... I know i owe you all an explanation ... maybe in one of my future posts i will ...

My two pennies ... :-?
