    • The article is ill-informed and intolerant (she describes Pagan rituals as 'barking mumbo-jumbo'). She shows no knowledge of Pagan or Eastern religious practices (falsely believing that Eastern religions are egocentric, when they frequently focus on the denial and extermination of the self) and it seems fairly obvious that her real problem is that she is afraid that giving other religions tax exemption will undermine the status of Christianity.

    • This is a level of prejudice that borders on the criminal. Not just from the writer but from the publication itself.

    • Unbelievable! How dare she attack a religion that is older than the 'wonderful' Christianity. I'm sorry, which religion has caused wars worldwide and continues to do so til this day?

    • Pathetic and shameful. I'm not in favour of political correctness, but this went too far, was factually wrong, and highly offensive. Have a little dignity.
