Tamang conversions: culture, politics, and the Christian conversion narrative in Nepal.
The ordinary person does not, unless corrupted by philosophy, believe that he creates value by his choices. He thinks that some things really are better than others and that he is capable of getting it wrong. We are usually not in doubt about the direction in which Good lies.
Iris Murdoch, The Sovereignty of the Good, p. 95
I say: Man Thapa, I've come to talk about sin; everybody says you're the man to talk to if I want to know about sin.
He laughs. "I like your questions! You always like to talk about big things! This will be good! Sin," he says, "is based on greed; this is the worst kind of sin, to be greedy. Other sins are small; even murder is a lesser sin than greed."
I say: That's very Christian. "Maybe it is. I haven't read the Bible much. But this is what sin is."
