All about the world, each person struggles with competitions to their life.
Quite frankly, and unequivocally, most of those persons (billions of them)
have a much tougher time of it than Americans or Europeans - and little time
or motive to dream of war as a solution to their dilemma. Furthermore,
religion is highly personal and easily misunderstood by persons of different
cultures. In fact, the topic is simply taboo unless discussion is invited.
I hope persons who understand my viewpoint will enter a new thread "Ubuntu
and Empowerment."
Also, I hope respondents will --
(1) comment about empowering the world by providing access to all
information, and
(2) not comment about religion at all - on "Ubuntu Help and User
Discussions."
This is a call for the sensitive and intelligent to guide the religious
subject line to silence. Please post only once, no matter which way the
discussion bends.
Please post to the list -- any communication directed at me. I would like
everyone to have the opportunity to recognize those who are culturally
insensitive.
I am probably agnostic, but I recognize the privilege of others to involve
themselves with religion, if the they so choose, and to do so without either
direct or humorously derived criticism appearing under subject topics
bearing names of religions or denominations of same. "Freedom of religion,"
like have in the U.S.A., need not be assailed by anyone who professes an
interest or commitment to "free access" and "world community."
