Chuck, et al:

Yes, Jesus created the laws of physics and created the universe.

Ummm... this means the universe is
only about 2000 years old, right?

How can you say Hinduism is a peaceful monotheistic religion? One of the major
goddess is Shiva. Or what about Krishnia?

Shiva is a lower deity like an archangel...

Krishna was a man.

Most Hindi are vegetarians because they
do not believe in killing... that's peaceful.

Obviously, your mind is made up that
Hindu is not monotheistic.

The Caste system and
the Law of Karma is one of the major discriminators in the world.

The Law of Karma is similar to a law of
physics: for every action there is an
opposite and equal reaction - which can
also be said as: "as ye sow, so shall ye
reap".

I don't defend the cast system, but
I do understand its religious basis.

Let me suggest that you should inform
yourself in this regard as well.

The God of Abraham in the OT is the
same God of the NT.

Perhaps in the mind of faux-Christians...

But in reality they are contradictory: one a
god of love and compassion, the other a
god of hatred, violence, and oppression.

On the political side, when people ask or talk politics to me, I tell them that
the Bible tells us to pray for the kings over us.

The Bible also says to slay the wicked
and perform other violent acts - in complete
contradiction to the teachings of the Christ.

He said in regards to evangelism: "cast not
your pearls before swine".

In regards to politics: "leave unto Caesar
what is Caesar's... ".


If asked a question, say for example, What does the Bible say about abortion,
or any other issue, I will show what the Bible says. Basically, I say, read
the Bible, read pro and con arguments and then make up your mind.

The Bible is the work of man.

If you don't believe in abortion, then by all
means, do not have one. On the other hand,
what right have you to enforce your beliefs
on others?


Christians should not be brain dead robots, but people with critical thinking
skills. .

Where is the critical thinking in ignoring
contradictions and believing illogical
silliness?

Of course, a Christian worldview should be based around the Bible. Yes.
I have 2 degrees, and have studied most of the world religions, science,
philosophy and "humanism". I made my decision

Judging from what you write, either you
weren't paying much attention, or your
'course' was so biased towards the
evangelical point of view, that any
modicum of truth about 'world religions'
was, on the most part, lost.


It is evident that you are well versed in the many world religions. May I
suggest you read [... ]

Been there, done than - many years ago.

Perhaps you should read the 'holy' books
of all religions on your own (as opposed
to being taught erroneous opinions). At
minimum, you could then hold a valid view.


I'm confused by the statement that Juduism is not monothiestic.

So am I. I did not say that!

It has been fun talking with you. It is past midnight. Time to go QRT.

I'm glad you're having fun. In truth, this
seems more an excursive in futility, than
any thing else.

Though I was raised as a conservative
Christian, I am neither Hindu, Sikh, Muslim,
Buddhist, Jewish, Christian, Bahai', Mormon,
Eckancar, Brotherhood of light, etc,.

I do recognize there is a measure of truth in
them all (some more than others). For this
reason, it is salient that we do not suppress
any religious thought, or promote one over
another. America, like India, must remain
both democratic and secular.

Cheers,
