Cybe, I don't think anybody has ever accused me of being naive and
rose-tinted. You might be the first. If anything, I am frequently being
called cynical and kafkaesque [1], maybe they should add, 'pinteresque' [2]
And no, I don't believe in the gospel; like you, I think religions are
the main cause of parochialism and tribalism, giving rise to
intolerance, demonizing and dehumanizing the 'others'.
But I suppose one cannot help if one chooses to wallow in hatred and
bitterness.
All the best. - Goh Lip
