RE: we know that other authors later ...
No sir, you don't know, you belive, and your beliefs are tainted by your world view. If you were truly studious on the matter, you would have considered the opinions and findings of the more conservative scholars on the matter. As it is, you have been spoon fed the liberal viewpoint, and since it does not conflict with your bias, you gladly accept it as truth. If in fact you are interested in having your viewpoint challenged will give you references for some very scholarly works that refutes your claims. But for us to banter about on this thread is just silly.
More important for hte moment is that the truth be known regarding your philosophy and the Hindu religion. Twice I have asked you specific questions about the ugly side of the Hindu religion. The real religion, nor your whitewashed nonsense, and twice you have ignored my questions. I have some more questions for you to consider>
What good has Hinduism done for India?
Does Hinduism have the answers for todays problems? Alcoholism - Drugs- Divorce - Suicide etc.
Do Hindu gods move, think or speak?
Can they defend themselves if attacked; or mend themselves if broken?
Don't you think it foolish to worship these manmade objects?
Does India belong to the Indians (95 %) or the Brahmins (5%)?
Did Hinduism originate in India itself or did it come with the Aryans via the Khyber Pass?
Can a person convert and become a Brahmin?
What is the relationship between the Aryans of India (Brahmins) and the Aryans of Germany (Hitler's Nazis)?
Why do the Brahmins and Nazis have the same symbol - the Swastika?
Who is your God? Is it Shiva, who has the moon and river Ganges on his head and who could not identify his own son? Or is it Rama who couldn't see through Sukrievan's disguise and who murdered another god? Or could it be Krishna, the "playboy god"?
How many living Hindu women have been cremated with their dead husbands? How many were really voluntary?
In the last 2000 years, how many Hindu children have been sacrificed to appease the gods?
"A mother stands waist-deep in the holy Ganges river, cradling her first-born son in her arms. Tears stream down her face as she thinks about what she is going to do. She must appease the gods so that her husband will be able to find work. She must atone for her own sins. Offering her son as a sacrifice is the only way she knows to make atonement; lesser sacrifices of food and small animals have brought no results. She takes a deep breath and gently puts him under the filthy water.
Seven Hindu boys are being led to a temple to be offered as sacrifices to the goddess Devi. Decades ago one of them would have been slaughtered. Today a goat will replace the human sacrifice. Yet other children are sold into slavery as temple prostitutes. Many of them will not survive the torture, drug addiction, and abuse they will be subjected to before they reach adolescence.
The Hindu religion is a religion of hypocrisy, and lies. Its gods are impotent at one moment and deadly at the next. It has enslaved and tormented an entire nation for 2000 years. And, you my friend, are not only a slave to this lie but you are a propaganda mouthpiece. Your words sound sweet, but they are bitter. Poisoned.
Best to you.
