Avoiding questions

[Drich]

Your right it is easy to make a basless accusation and not back it up with anything. your personal example was awesome.

First off, quoting a site which mischaracterizes Hinduism doesn't rescue your mischaracterization (see below). But on top of that, even the source you cite refutes your earlier claim about Hinduism, thus validating my claim about your lies.

You stated:

I did not say Hinduism did not have a spiritual verfiable element to it. Hinduism does not place one in a direct relationshipp with God.

And your own source, incorrect as it is, states:

Hindus believe that divine beings exist in unseen worlds and that temple worship, rituals, sacraments and personal devotionals create a communion with these devas and Gods.

(Your site even goes further to claim, "It is a mystical religion, leading the devotee to personally experience the Truth within, finally reaching the pinnacle of consciousness where man and God are one." If that isn't a "direct relationship", I don't know what is.)

Next time you might want to make sure a source you quote actually supports your point, otherwise it's no better than the shit you pull from your ass. I gave you a source. I have been a Hindu for 30 years and your claiming that I don't constitute a source for the truth of my own tradition simply underscores yet again what your true relationship to Hinduism is.

Moreover, as a Hindu myself, I can verify that your "source" is crap. (The history of the Carvakas alone see to that.) But it's just like you that when you have the real deal standing in front of you, you instead go squirreling after a second hand example that fits your prejudices better.


Still waiting on your exegesis of the word holy which I asked you which you seem to have.... what's the word I'm looking for here....

Communion can mean anything from simple partisipation in the religious practices of a given religion or it can mean one has a personal relationship or sharing with their god. In Hinduism their isn't one set 'doctrine' to describe how that god reaches out to the followers of that religion. A more conseritive believer offered this to a question ask about his God:"TO ONE(God) SAGES DESCRIBE IN VARIOUS WAYS."

God gives us power to view,hear, and think but we cannot view ,hear and know God as He is. God is beyond the reach of human mind & intelligence. (mentioned in Kain Book of Veda)

So it is absolutely right & relevant everywhere & in all eras to declare that the sages describe that one God in various ways.

So one should not insist that only his/her way of describing God is correct and others' are wrong. A person claiming it is actually ignorant of God. It is clearly mentioned in Kain Book of Veda -
"AVIGYATUM( ignorant) VIJANTAM( claiming to know Him)".

Instead of such insistence, we should PRAY TO GOD FOR GOD"S INSPIRATION TO OUR INTELLIGENCE TOWARDS THE RIGHT PATH and then achieve HIS BLESSINGS (As prayed through Veda's supreme prayer called Gayatri Verse).

While more liberal believers seem to think the oppsite. (That it is possiable to know their god even when their holy book says otherwise.) Who am I to say who is right? all I have ever studied of this religion is based on the more 'traditional' understanding of it.. And again that understanding says That the intimate relationship with God Christianity offers is not what is offered through Hinduism.

So, In the end you are right. In that i can't tell anyone how you see or worship your god. But, if you go back and re read what I wrote I never claimed to do this in the first place.
