Re: We are all hindus now: NewsWeek

BTW once again it's worship-through-idol nto idol-worship.. Purge yourselves from ignorance guys..

I will pose another question which Swami Vivekanad put in th world religion congress.

every religious text claims God to eb just impartial yet you see that some is born healthy while others diseased. some are born rich while others pauper. Why this discrepancy then given abrhamic religions do not believ in rebirth . how do you explain this unjust work of just almighty.

Sanatan dharma like Hinduims jainism buddhisn sikhism have explained this through rebirth theory that you get what you worked for in your last birth.

How does abrhamic religion philopshy explains thsi inherent dichotomy.>

I have posed this question to many but have not gotten any half convincing answer yet

Islam is the youngest, if you argue with that you are a dolt.

Same case of mental retardation can be made in anhy kind of belief which can;t be confirmed .. sadly no religion belief can be confirmed. How do you explain worshipping into vacuum to me that souds like schizophrenia..

It's easy to call others belief ratrded but if you look critically at yourself you will find there is no basis to islamic style of worship either.. other than soemone'c cliam that it's the true path noone has got anything.

If you ask me worshi-through-idol makes much mroe sense than worshiop through nothing..

Although I accept talking of sense in matters of faith is nonsensical to start with..It's all belief and belief by nature is deficient in sense logic etc

That might be the Islamic belief, but not everyone subscribes to that or even thinks it is the correct belief.

Even Sufism, which evolved from Islam worships the creation as the creator. And why not ? God created everything and he is present in everything he created.

Sikhism,[1] founded on the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev and ten successive Sikh Gurus (the last one being the sacred text Guru Granth Sahib) in fifteenth century Punjab, is the fifth-largest organized religion in the world.[2] This system of religious philosophy and expression has been traditionally known as the Gurmat (literally the counsel of the gurus) or the Sikh Dharma. Sikhism originated from the word Sikh, which in turn comes from the Sanskrit root śiṣya meaning “disciple” or “learner”, or śikṣa meaning “instruction”.[3][4]

Sikhism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I know that Sikhism’s roots are based in Hinduism, but based on the general understanding Sikhism is believed to be started by Guru Nanak Dev. Please enlighten me if there is any other thing.

86

Actually no, since Sikhism (amongst others) is younger than Islam.

However, given that Islam is younger than Hinduism also means that Islam has not had the chance yet to make improvements/reforms based on experience the way Hinduism has.

87

Improvement/reforms???
What's this... some kind of a constitution? We r talking about religion isn't it?

Most religions came into being thousands of years ago. Everything that was relevant then is not relevant now. Some of them have evolved with changing times and some still need to...

That is an atheist POV. Isn't it?

Wht r u doing ?

The scriptures leave a lot of things for humans to interprete. The interpretation will be vastly different from person to person and from time to time. Just because you interprete it differently from the earlier generations, doesnt mean that you are an atheist.

93

Nope, thats a progressive POV :)

94

It’s younger than Islam that’s what my bef with your post was since you claimed Islam to be youngest religion

95

that brigns up the question then why God sends prophets after prophets if reforms amendments are not the desired trait in religious text...

96

I have same sentiments abotu pork products and these days thanks to swine flue scare people erroneoulsy belive it comes from pig hence it's cheap .. i am making merry over people's ignorance

97

He knows that in my opnion otherwise why ther would have been need for 100+ thousand prophets in total as per Islam.
There could be only two reasons for it
(1) Text gets lost or corrupted but that could have been easily fixed by god by giving a book not through word of mouth but through a actual hard-copy that way therw woudl have been no room for unmindful corruption.. Mindful cprruption still could have cropped in and that cud crop in any text

(2)With changing times new set of rules are needed hence new prophet.. For instance in early days incest must have been allowed because there was no other way of perpetuation of human race from one couple of adma and eve.> later oninbreeding was to be hazardous so needed to be banned

My point being requirements of mankind seems like evolvign hence religious code too must keep pace.. In that case question arises how do you recocnile with concept of last prophet why there is no need of further revision of code with changing time.

To many questions which has no answers

OK, I agree, but I was comparing the numerically large religions and hence did not consider sikhism.

Cross has never been worshiped by the Christians my friend and you are making it a useless argument. It has been well respected and that's all.

What does once again mean?????

Did I talk about Krishna before?

What is inflammatory here.???????

Obviously I did not name that and you knew right away who I talked about.

Having said that I with all the available knowledge to me so far think that in reality, Hindus have really found out that no one really is getting their way of thinking seriously and with continued killing, harassment, and intimidation of other religions including Buddhism- in India,

  • they have to adopt to a more acceptable,and palatable version of this religion by using the following factors to attract other people and nations.

1- Nudity and sex. Including kamasutra, group sex, and plain and simple more sex as one of the main tenet of hinduism. ( You and I both are aware of this my friend).

2- Music and dance and yoga performed by women half nude.

3- Inter-faith marriages. (Love and sex). Influencing in to journalism, technology and politics after marrying to local Christians in a majority christian land.

4- Exploitation of the useless politics which involves Muslims versus Jews or Christianity.

5- Using Christians of the land (Indians) to get in to politics.

And please be honest and share your views with your muslim friend. I must commend and applaud for you to admit that your muslim friend does not know what you have posted. Very good.

And then comes a point in time itself when God Almighty Himself says,

'This day I have completed your religion for you, fulfilled My favor upon you and
have chosen for you Islam as your religion.'

And then still reforms/amendments/e.t.c?
