    All caps is yelling at the least. One should avoid all cap posts completely.

    When I had gone to baptisms ( so many of them!!) in phoren, and the Priest/Minister goes on the memorized questionnaire about whether or not the parents/god-parents believe/do/not-do/yada-yada, I resist :frown::hollering::hmmm: (frown/roll-eyes/hmmm..). The people who invited me are often extremely pleased that I had come, held the baby, and shook hands with the priest/minister, and then went home with them to eat some unusual foods. In this exchange of small effort for happiness, belief goes in the bin labelled "don't ask, don't tell".

    If I think something, say something else and do something else altogether mostly and not occasionally to keep people happy, how do I find peace? Where is the truth in relationship? Are we that selfless to compromise our values and pride to please others? I don't see that happening in real life and not even in virtual world for forum etiquette.

    I and Mr. spent a good amount of our $$$ to arrange for and get married in a religious ceremony. We could have skipped that and just registered our marriage on the way to work (in separate cars) one day. Or flown to Vegas.

    Went through the wedding rituals like a guest. An easy to please guest. Am I living in sin as there was no/less truth from my heart during the rituals?

    I am at peace. : ) And have two anniversaries to celebrate. : ) One ritual wala and another legal wala.

    In the latter ritual there'd be a google-translate track (Sanskrit=>Telugu) running in the "pleased" guest's head.
    Going by the track record of what google would say, all eess vell.

    Two weddings, but only one husband.:rolleyes:
    Yosemite Sam (Bugs Bunny Nemesis) would say:
    "Congratu... I mean.... Congratulations"

    May God bless you twice (once for pleasing the believers) and again for being honest about yourself by registering the marriage. :)

    : )

    When invoking the Almighty's blessings on a non-believer, is it wasting a precious resource? : )

    It means believer believes God doesn't discriminate among His creations. He let His creations have free will and be responsible for their actions.

    Believers would insist that they pray extra for the non-B in their acquaintance also.
    And make sure that they inform the non-B about this prepaid situation... good for a T-shirt.
