I'm against the Hindu caste system. It is based on reincarnation and the cycle of rebirth. It says that your status in life is based on what you did in your previous life. If you see a beggar on the street who is filthy, hungry, and covered in disease it is only because he was an evil man in his previous life and is therefore not deserving of sympathy. You should probably go kick him instead of offering him assistance for he deserves it. Likewise for a rich man living in luxury. He has that status only because he was a man of great deeds and good will in his previous life. So you should bow to him and do as he says to reward his previous life.
That is an evil and abhorrent mindset. I can't accept it. I prefer Christian charity to the downtrodden and its dislike of ill-gotten wealth. You can be forgiven and take you place in heaven. Everyone is welcome.
the hindus and buddhista are not the ones I have heard for the last three decades hollering about 'tolerance' in the usa.. or a need for diversity.
the groups who holler about it all the time, do so because THEIR beliefs are the ones that are the most intrusive, violent and affecting on others. they run contrary to the interests of a secular society.
it is interesting that the cultures and religions that are tolerant, sekdom demand it with a rusty blade to some foreign aid worker's throat.... but the ones that are INTOLERANT and violent, SCREAM bloody murder whenever you arrest them BEFORE they blow up a congress building full of hindus...
they want us to tolerate their murder of others, as their highest sacrement next to suicide, in direct disproportion to the way they tolerate our primary sacraments in other religions, like communion, baptism or meditation.
to muzzies multiculturalism apparently means submit to US or die.
to me the original concept of multiculturalism was live and let live. sounds like your definition too... guess what, the common meaning of that compound word has changed significantly.
what is being sold today AS multicultural tolerance and appreciation, is NOT what YOU or I would mean. THEY have redefined that term in almost every university save a few religious ones... to mean crush peaceful christianity here at home, while promoting EVERYTHING but judeo-chrstian values both here and abroad.
The multicultural currcula at most universities is fit for warming the house, via the fireplace, not much else.
