Dual nature of the shadows

People like these on the blogosphere exist. If you say that you listen to Iron Maiden, Sepultura or Black Sabbath, you will be accused of not believing in God. If you say that you listen to bhajans or carols, you will be accused of being a fundamentalist / bigot / racist / casteist / anyOtherDamnThing. So do I believe in Him/Her or do I not? Or both, like in quantum physics.

If you say that you hate Shahrukh or Aamir Khan, you automatically turn communal and fundamentalist. The Godwins laws are also invoked, both desi (Here on the desi one) and videsi. It doesnt matter than that you like Irfan Pathan bowling. Does that make me secular enough. Or both.

There seems to be no escape. So much to say, so much to speak out on, but thats why I avoid jumping too much into hot topics of blogosphere. Plus cant spend too much time arguing with people who have all the time in the world for all these things.

PS.
Avoiding taking names .. there are quite a few like that. Dont want to waste time deleting abusive comments.
