with moorthy's case still fresh from d oven here we have another case of mankind playing God and convenient reinterpretation of the constitutional guarantee of freedom of religion.
agreed that apostasy is a very serious sin in islam. but sin is also a relationship between d offender n d almighty. in our human frailty but honest concern 4 fellow mankind, we may advice and guide and do whatever 2 discourage somebody from sinning but we can never ever stop another person from commiting sin.
therefore, if we hv laws that require a legal forum 2 approve one's renunciation of a religion, those laws must surely be a transgression agst the constitutional guarantee of freedom of religion.
also i believe that it is better to "lose one hand which is bad" than 2 have 2 hands of which 1 is so bad a misfit as 2 trouble d good hand. if i dont want 2 be a priest it is better that i break my vows than 2 continue wear d frock n openly detest d vocation n faith. :eek:
