All education should be secular. And if need be every kid should be taught equally about all the religions from a very secular aspect. Until the age of 16. This will give the students a better idea of what each religion is about. And I guess from that point on the most valid and the most sensible religion will attract the kid, not the one he was born into.
About the Madrasa’s … yeah they should be closed cuz it limits one’s religious knowledge to Islam only.
This debate will go on and on and on forever.
To make things more spicy over here:D
In hinduism/vedic religion you will find
(1)henotheism (usually dwaitha)
(2)monotheism
(3)pantheism (omnipresent god)
(4)theistic acosmism (advaitha vedanta)
(5)panentheism (vishishtadwaitha)
If you follow vedas, you will adhere to monotheism, pantheism, acosmism and panentheism. These are all the concepts of god that are there. and on the contrary to what your muslim scholars say, a learned hindu/vedantist will not just believe in monotheism, but also in omni-present God, acosmism and may be to an extent panentheism.
and afridi is right, many hindus are somewhat unaware because hindu religion is a un-organized religion. But if any hindu says hindu religion is polytheistic, then he is doesn't know anything about hindu religion
there is unity established amidst all these concepts of God by one link
“Yes, there is God, Doctrine of karma and re-incarnation”…This one link/ statement will unite all the people who know hinduism/vedic religion properly.
and:smack:, i didn’t mention the above things properly in the thread “concept of GOd”…Yes, basics of hindu religion is all about the above posts of mine.
Thats a fact Lohari bhai, thats why u need visa to enter all muslim countries in the gulf where a christian from UK gets in without it or gets it on arrival.
This is partly because they can escape the Hindoo persecution by proclaiming to be nationalist, just like Hindoos.....
I tend to agree here with Babuji. I have noticed that all hindus say ’ uparwala’ sab thik karega. I have never heard them saying ke ’ uparwale’ sab thik karenge.
My parents believe in respecting all religions and that all religions are equal, which is what I am defending. And yes, if I get time I might even study Islam one day :)
Absolutely correct. And if Hindus thought there were multiple Gods, wouldnt we then have arguements on which of those Gods is superior ? I have never seen that happen which further proves that there is only one God in Hinduism.
