(January 4, 2013 at 12:35 pm)Mister Agenda Wrote: Hinduism is the oldest major religion still being practiced today. Is its survival indicative of divine intervention? Christianity had a 500 year head-start on Islam, and it's already grown to surpass Catholicism and Protestantism, just not both combined...yet. Not to mention its dominance in the holy lands of the Middle East. Does that mean Allah is helping them out? Or does that sort of thing only count when talking about Christianity, because Christianity is a special snowflake?

I never said its a proof but I would suggest that given the odds on its survival it is somewhat remarkable. All the survival of other religion can show that for some reason Mankind has always had a need for the spiritual. I would say beyond all reason we have an Instinctive soul awareness for God. Some may have dampened their instinct or suppressed it but it wont go away.
