Nice blog. a couple of quick comments!

"For without the fear of accountability, humanity will lose all sense of any basic morality that keeps human society intact. At its roots all religions teach love and respect towards one another and a reverence to things beyond human understanding"

-- It just doesn't fly when one impies morality springs out of religion. Do you associate immorality with these countries: Australia, Austria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Switzerland. According to a recent research, these are nine of the most non-religious countries in the world today.

"There is nothing wrong with people believing. In fact it is important that the masses have faith and believe that there is possibly a higher power that we might be answerable to.........And yet restrictions to religious ideals and ritualistic dogmas also chain us to superstitions and inability to come of out that same ignorance that all religions claim to clear."

-- I found it pretty ironic. Self explanatory. hehe! 

happy dashain!
