Pope includes Hindu verses in prayers on Good Friday

HINDUS HAVE applauded Pope Benedict for including verse from ancient Hindu scripture Upanishads in the Good Friday Meditations and Prayers led by him at Roman Colosseum.
Acclaimed Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, said that it was a remarkable gesture from Pope and invited him to study more ancient Hindu scriptures, which were very rich in philosophical thought. He or other Hindu scholars would gladly provide the help and resources in this regard, if asked, Zed added.
Zed, who is president of Universal Society of Hinduism, also commended His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI for inclusion of a verse from Indias Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagores Gitanjali and reference to peace icon Mahatma Gandhi in these prayers.
This years 'Way of the Cross at the Colesseum' Meditations and Prayers on Good Friday, led by Pope, included well-known verse from Brahadaranyakopanishad (Lead me from the unreal to the real, from darkness to light, from death to immortality), line from Tagores Gitanjali (Give me the strength to make my love fruitful in service) and reference to Mahatma Gandhi.
Rajan Zed stressed that all religions should work together for a just and peaceful world. Dialogue would bring us mutual enrichment, he added.
Pope Benedict heads the Roman Catholic Church, which is the largest of the Christian denominations. Hinduism, oldest and third largest religion of the world, has about one billion adherents and moksha (liberation) is its ultimate goal.

VATICAN DAFFYNITIONARY PRIMER:
1. FLAME BAIT = ANYTHING WHICH OFFENDS RC'S/Ortho's hyper thin-skinned sensibilities;
2. RELENTLESS BADGERING, HARASSING, SKEWERING ABOUT BELIEFS OR WHAT NOT up to several dozen times a day
EQUAL
--when Proddys are posting--a single post or more that is annoying to an RC/Ortho.
3. a LIE = anything a Proddy posts that a particular RC or Ortho disagrees with at the moment.

Given the RM’s patience of Job spirituality . . .
I wouldn’t expect the
whining standard to be applied no matter how often RC’s violate it.
They do it about as often as breathing so if the RM were to apply it, he’d likely get nothing else done.

No, the following statement is not about you or any other Freeper, personally. It is a remark about a class or group of Freepers called the "anti-proddy group."
Is this a new tactic of the anti-proddy group to find imaginary insults against proddys, then blow them out of proportion in order to seek to get get them kicked off a particular thread?
All of you are making this thread "about" individual Freepers - whether the other guy or yourself. Every time you complain on thread, you are making the thread "about" the both of you.
Stop it.
Send me your complaints by Freepmail, stop talking about each other and let the other Freepers discuss the issues.

Perhaps we should have a
RELIGION FORUMATHON
to take up a collection for a year’s supply of
EXCEDRIN super strength
for you???

How can such underhanded, dishonest, dirty tricks stuff be justified by folks claiming to be ANY KIND of "Christian" EXACTLY! It proves quite the opposite!!
To: Quix; Religion Moderator
The RM is a brave soul. Asking for all complaints to be sent via freepmail is going to require an entire case of EXCEDRIN! May need to throw in some Advil, Aleve, and Maalox.
To: Religion Moderator
There is no discussion of issues — this is a flame-fest.

Yet, you had said that to “narrowly post that photo to another Freeper, personally, it is flame baiting, trouble-making - it IS making it personal. “ — and that is exactly what that post is doing. Narrowly posting a photograph aiming to insult the poster is against forum rules

That's exactly what's happening.
Stop it.
Will do.
To: presently no screen name
We are being baited by the anti-proddy group (since I’ve used the word ‘group’ its not making it personal or attributing motive)......
We should immediately ignore certain individuals as they are (JMO - just my Opinion - ALLOWED) doing their best to get us removed from the thread.

Don’t make the thread about an individual poster. RM —> another violation on this thread.

That's incorrect -- post 701 was addressed ONLY to Pyro. The insult was directed at him. This was a personal remark -- which YOU YOURSELF say is not as per Forum rules. This is the nth time this has happened and you are contradicting your earlier statements that one can ask a question or point out that 'Jesus and the Pharisees called each other satanic' -- so calling someone conservativeg's group satanic is hence perfectly in line with the rules you said.
Also, a post like 701 with it directed at one poster is a personal attack.
how low can this go?

The anti-proddy’s (again ‘group’ - not making it personal) are in my opinion (allowed) hurting their own cause with this behavior.
If I were a casual observer coming into this thread and watching the baiting tactics, then running to the RM whining about rules infraction, then violating those same rules you whined about to the RM...then rinse and repeat over and over and over..... I would come to the conclusion by my observations that these posters are completely devoid of the Holy Spirit (my opinion again which is allowed and within the rules).
I cannot see a true Saint indwelt with the Holy Spirit acting like this can you? Again JUST MY OPINION.
To: metmom; conservativegramma
Exactly!
Who do they run whining to when there's no RM around to fight their fights for them?
Well, if they ran to God's Word first - they could nip their 'whining' in the bud - and learn the source of their strife.
Romans 2:8 "But for those who are self-seeking and who reject THE TRUTH and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger".
James 3:16 "For where envying and strife [is], there [is] confusion and every evil work".
