And to call a belief a belief is speaking the truth, yes

Unfortunately, too often "it all depends" on one's *belief*--truth being a

subordinate concern.

In the case of the former, whoever fits the definition may truthfully be

described as such. And in the case of the latter, whoever is so childishly

slandering those who happen to differ with him on "gender issues" will reap

his just deserts--I also am confident of that, yes.

Well, prabhu, I thank you for putting that word in brackets, at least. So

that's now for you to explain or not, as you like. My comment is that

although feminism is a product of an atheistic society, still it's obviously

*not* a synonym for atheism. So you have unnecessarily introduced the word

"atheism" in a discussion not at all about atheism and have also

unecessarily created the oxymoronic concept of a "Vaisnavi who advocates

atheism." Why waste time in this way?

 

>While "one" is of no gender, you got only the females in your divine mind

(as >opposed to "darwinistic mind") to attribute to this trouble making.

 

That you claim (wrongly, by the way) to know my mind is also a little silly,

isn't it, prabhu?

Perhaps you might consider responding atypically for a change
