...some in the Janata party have called for a return to "sutee," or ritual wife-burning (mandated) when the husband dies. So progressive, those Indians.

Which 'Janata' party (I assume you are referring to the Bharatiya Janata Party)leader has called for a return to "Sutee"? Please cite names and places, in fact any details that you may have.

Sickness and death face us all. I just wish Hinn would focus on the damnation of one's soul.

I read this in a National Review (not online, but the real thing) about 10 years ago. I assume that the party has only made further inroads in this vein, since I have not seen anything to indicate these guys were slapped down in any way. But my source is at school---if I still have it. It just struck me as amazing. . . . but not surprising.
