IH and me are having such discussion for a week now. I think the issue is much more fundamental.
Most Hindus (>95%) have not read our scriptures in details in original form or in translations. What most of us speak is based on perception and beliefs. IH is a perfect example of that. What amuses me the most is that he is deferring the task of actually acquiring the correct knowledge when he gets time. Till then it is all perceptions that are not backed by facts.
