Any Ex-Hindus Other Than Me?

No world wide flood-no fish avatar- no dashavatar- no Vishnu- none of the other avatars. That means no rama, krishna , parshurama, buddha, (a boar and a half lion also included. And no Krishna no mahabharata.
I only meant the Christianity is full of obvious myths.


Quote: Faith or works- do you mean to say hindus are better than christians?

No, it's a question about Catholicism. Faith versus works is an old Christian debate about what is necessary to get to heaven: faith in god, good works, or both. It's a question raised during the reformation. All Christian sects that I know require faith. Some also require works or consider works to be manifestation of faith.

Quote: Goodness doesn't depend on religion or country.

I didn't suggest it did. But I will now. It's not determinative, but some religions and some cultures promote violence, discrimination and other immoral things. The more violent or unjust the culture you live in, the likely you will be violent or unjust. Religion is a major part of culture.

More importantly, and it's why I brought faith versus works up, is that Christianity is somewhat ambivalent about the need to do good.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
