Re: There is no Idol Worship in Hinduism
The Vedas:
Has God a form or is He formless?
A.- He is formless, because if He possesses a form He could never be Omnipresent, nor, therefore Omniscient, since a finite substance can possess only finite attributes, actions and nature . Besides, He could never be free from hunger and thirst, heat and cold, disease, imperfections and injuries . This proves, therefore, that God is formless, If He were to possess a body, another person would be required to make the different organs of His body, such as eyes, ears and the like , for He, who is the product of the combination of the different parts, must have an intelligent formless maker . Here if it be urged that God Himself made His own body simply by willing it, this too goes to prove that He was formless before He made His body. It is clear, therefore, that God is never embodied. Being without a body He is able to make the visible universe out of invisible causes.

Excuse my pure bluntness but these ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’ are formed by the laws of the earth.. universe doesn’t follow the laws of this earth.. why can’t there be a substance that is infinite.. and how do we know that there is or isnt any present.. other than this earth… and same reasoning for all the other postulates…
These objections are quite childlike to me..
