Theos-Talk Archives (May 2005 Message tt00585)

Mark,

In the Upanishad, Arjuna was forced to choose sides in which all choices led to negative karma. Krishna advised him on dharma. Today in South Africa the catholics are advising against condoms in what is a severe aids crisis. In Nigeria, muslim are advising against polio vaccinations in one of last pockets of the disease. They hope to annihilate polio in the near future with a little help. Do we outlaw abortion for religious grounds, someone's else right to choose his or her own best course. For me it is finding my own dharma.
