About 10 years ago, I found it more and more difficult to make a moral distinction between human and higher animal life.

Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Zoroaster, and Mithra were said to be born of virgins.

Living at the margins of society, especially after the coming of the British, hijras (transgender women) have played one significant role in Indian society.

Ironically, the Pilgrims settled in an American Indian village, which, along with its agricultural fields, was deserted because of the epidemic.

We were thrilled that these precautions had given us the freedom to travel safely for the first time in 16 months. The freedom to infect others is simply a license to endanger public health and let people die.

Today I will be preaching the Gospel of Weak Belief. Don’t worry, I’m not going to start a new church. Besides, I don’t think too many people would come.
