Not debating. Someone asked about Hinduism and someone else said the Vedas are the most important books of hInduism. Having born and lived in India (yes, as a Hindu), I know by experience that is just a perception and not the fact. I had to post my view as no one else had and that was it. If you notice, I am not debating at all.

I see a post by RiverWolf that Varna is not by birth. Clearly, he is not from India and has no idea how Varna really works. He is relying on hearsay and Vivekananda style books, which simply paint an incorrect picture. Varna is by birth only and nothing else. A Brahmana has to have a gotra - paternal lineage all the way to one of the 7 Rishis. Else, he is not a Brahmana - pure & simple.

But I am not posting this, as that may be seen as debating. So trust me, I am not some muslim out to disrupt the flow.

Thank you for your invitation. I noticed you have changed your avatar, from far it looks like a mermaid, is it?

I think I equally dislike strange and familiar. Thank you, good (day) to you as well.

Ah, well that is just sweet. That seems like a good way to go to sleep after an extremely strange day.

That may be so, but I will be back to unnoticeable with the majority of my time in a bit. I feel most comfortable there, I suppose.

Basically, but at least I'm an unnoticeable person who temporarily noticed you. That counts for something, right?

Awww.. don't worry, no one considers me especially important neither.

Hehe.. of course it's not a bribe. http://www.religiousforums.com/forum/../images/smilies/wink.gif Just spreading the frubal wealth! It's like spreading love and happiness throughout the land (forum) in which all people (RF members) can be at one!

Aw. I didn't mean to ruin it for ya. I tell ya what, we will go back to before I mentioned it.

Don't worry, I know you already subscribe to my threads. =p

Mod girl, woot woot. Now you and .lava are the only potential mods to catch me making mischief at 3 or 4 in the morning (my time.)

Hey, thanks.

Congratulations by the way on becoming a mod.

Hehe, that's fine

Chat again?

I'll consume almost anything that has alcohol in it too.

If you can talk them into making a beet wine I will try it.

Do you even need to ask?

Okay I have a proposal for you...

It's OK. It takes a bit of getting used to with policies and procedures, but given your track record here, you'll do really well with the other mods.

You'll do great as a mod. :yes:
