Vannakkam: I'm not uncomfortable at all. But you can say whatever you want. I make a purposeful intentional attempt to try not to engage in such matters, but sometimes the temptation to enter into such forays is too much and I go open my mouth, which I later realise was a bad idea.
On a personal note, It really does disturb my meditation, and concentration worshiping at the temple I frequent, when I get overly engaged in intellectual discussion of the wrongs and rights of governments, Hinduism, etc. The intellect, once started, has this tendency to turn into some circular spiraling snowball, and even such a valuable activity as sleep can be lost.
This is precisely why I really hesitated trying to offer any suggestions in your other thread about how you were having difficulty staying religious in times of so much stress. I see how these two threads are totally related, but somehow I'm not sure if you do. Which is sad, in my opinion. I sure hope this doesn't anger you even more, and make it more difficult still.
Best wishes, seriously, at coming to some sort of peace, so your religious life will improve.
At that shall end this, from my end.
