Hi Ratan,

would you be for or against bribery

Against.

Conversion of the poor in 3rd world countries is done thru bribery and a chance of better life in THIS life not next, even tho the promise is of heaven after death.

If you mean some people change their religion because they are given money to do so, I think they are perhaps being silly. If "religious" people give them money to do so, perhaps those particular people, or that particular religion, aren't, to my way of thinking, properly "religious." Note: the other side of my mind tells me, if you were "poor," Tom, taking some money from someone might appeal to you.

and a chance of better life in THIS life not next, even tho the promise is of heaven after death.

I'm not quite sure what you mean here, Ratan. Are these two "promises," in themselves, offensive?

Other than excluding those who advocate an immediate, violent overthrow of the government/society WHY? If u exclude one, lets start excluding others also, one by one.

Nope. It's a very clear criterion.
Should we exclude all religions from coming into our countries because we consider some of them wrong?

Best wishes,
Tom
