Any Ex-Hindus Other Than Me?

[LastPoet]

Aoi Magi please read my last post (the long one) that should explain it. There's more, but it's midnight in my part of the world so I think I won't answer in detail just now
Peace

Oh I see you did

Were they catholic or protestant?

I like scientific endeavours, from these two flavours of shit, what is the one that tastes better?

Be my guest gathering the data.

I stopped believing in Hindu gods because I couldn't find where they drew the line between mythology and what they actually believe.
Example- they have a flood story in which Vishnu becomes a fish and guides the last living man to safety.
It is almost entirely regarded as mythology. But if it is mythology, does that mean vishnu never became a fish? So one out of 10 avatars never happened? Buddha is also an avatar of Vishnu, yet he says there is no god. There goes one more. So if only 10 out of 10 avatars never happened how can Vishnu exist?
Also other things- Ganesh rides a mouse? Hanuman (monkey god) flew to the sun?

And do you actually think the Bible or Christian theology make any more sense than that?

Wow, you're in for a big surprise.

Hmm good one.
I must say ever since I signed up a couple of hours ago, I have had my mind exercised and filled with interesting ideas. and don't worry, I never said hindus or anyone else is evil . I just don't like spending time with them (go to surrey, BC Canada, you'll see why)

Just my views as a future RCIA candidate, if you wish to read them:

Christianity doesn't say faith alone will send us to heaven. Our actions play a big part. We are to do our works with- love, joy patience, gentleness, kindness, self control, goodness, peace, faithfulness. With these "fruits" or blessings of the holy Spirit, we are to deal with others. It makes the world a better place.
THIS is why god needs us to trust in the holy Spirit ( so that we may get the blessings.) I'm not saying atheists don't have these traits, but I stand witness to say it is hard without faithfulness (belief that god will guide your heart even when you get discouraged by humanity) and joy ( joy knowing someone up there is smiling when we do good). That is why the saints gave their lives to serving others. They had all nine fruits. Maybe that's why it is called a sin-because it must be thought that without faithfulness and joy how can you have the other fruits of the spirit? If you don't have them how can you make the world a better place? Sadly, such christians are rare to non existent nowadays.
Also I don't believe in hell for non believers. It all boils down to works as I wrote above.
You don't have to believe in the same thing as me or like what I've written. just try to understand what I meant by this.

That may be your version of Christianity - there are many others that don't agree with you.
