George Harrison, the guitarist for the Beatles, was a Bhakti Hindu. He believed in a personal god, and he said that if one chants the mantras with devotion, Lord Krishna would visibly appear and speak to him in an audible voice.
He said:
"If there’s a God, I want to see Him. It’s pointless to believe in something without proof, and Krishna Consciousness and meditation are methods where you can actually obtain GOD perception. You can actually see God, and Hear Him, play with Him. It might sound crazy, but He is actually there, actually with you."
And yet, Lek, I would bet $1 million that you won't be becoming Krishna follower any time soon. You don't find it at least interesting.
And why is that? Are you saying that George Harrison is hallucinating? Lying? He's certainly not telling the truth because you'd be one of the Krishna followers.
And if you don't care about Harrison's "evidence" for Krishna why would we care about yours for Jesus?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
