nevermind, I don't want to be accused of religious chauvinism
....
but I can say for sure that some of these bible thumping
talebans are very very intolerant of other people's religious
beliefs, very militant of their own, and are inclined to espouse
their views in the public sphere .......
I had a very very very long chat with the .... *ahem ..... older
lady over the weekend ....
and well ... you know how I feel about some of those happy
clappers with millionaire pastors ....
I think we've both scared each other off ......
I can still remember that lecturer in a HR Management class I
took three years ago....
The last five minutes of her very last lesson was pure madness
in that she was trying to 'enlighten' my class by proclaiming her
lack of tolerance for religions other than Christianity. All the
non-Christians (myself included) either fought to keep a poker face
or glared at her outright.
I pummeled her to kingdom come in the end-of-semester feedback
exercise..... which is quite sad, really, considering that she was
an otherwise solid lecturer.
I mean, there's nothing wrong in thinking that your religion's
the best, but you don't have to rub it in the faces of others.....
and NUS is a secular academic institution, for goodness' sake.
