Enough with this hanuman monkey god already!

He does not believe in any monkey god. He's a christian. He carries a little good luck token among other items.

corpseworshipper = Christian
Idolworshipper = Hindu
Koranworshipper = Muslim
Budhhaworshipper = Buddhist

But wait isn't God omniscient? They all agree God is. Omniscient means he is in the corpse, in the idol, in the koran and in the Buddha. So then by my math:

corpseworshipper = Christian = Idolworshipper = Hindu = Koranworshipper = Muslim = Budhhaworshipper = Buddhist = GodWorshipper

Hmmmmm, this way there appears to be no difference between them. But what do I know :)

who are you preaching all this to?

these RSS wallahs have been taught over their lifetime to hate others and RSS fills you with so much hate that one day when you look yourself in the mirror, you hate yourself too.

what about your desert cult. Does it teach you to love children, comeon, your leader certainly made his love known to a nine year old.

Similar reasoning....God is all powerful and all good. If he is all powerful, why can't he prevent evil. If he can prevent evil, but does not want to, then he cannot be all good.

Check out the rationalist international website, or look up Sanal Edamaruku and how he debunked these ridiculous god men of India. It's a great laugh!

Well, do your remember what the Bhagvad Geeta has to say. The Bhagvad Geeta is truly an authority, and it says that in this world everything is temporary. Good and Evil are both the nature of duality. But this duality itself is an illusion. So what do you make of Good and Evil, or Hot and Cold ?? They are temporary at best. According to the Bhagvad Geeta the soul is birthless and deathless, all evil in this world is not sufficient to destroy the soul. The only reality in the Universe is the soul, all else is "maya" and bound to be created and destroyed. Until we are in this "Maya" we will feel the duality, i.e. the Good and the Evil. The true path of all religions is to rise above this duality by concentrating instead on the Reality as "Loan Shark" mentioned.

Without evil what would be the worth of Good ?

Peace.

The problem in your argument is that you assume that the BG is true and that leads you to believe in the soul, etc. etc. I've heard the same type of wordy nonsense from my bible thumping friends. So far, the soul,ghost,reincarnation thing has never held up to any scientific study (not the pseudo science stuff which lacks any rigor). Seriously, check out the rationalist international website.

how about you read the Bhagvad Geeta and try to understand it and I read the rationalist international website and try to understand it.
You know like all duality, either you believe in the existence of God, or you don't :) See everything in this world is dual.

I'm an atheist. I reasonably certain that all these religions (yes, including Hinduism) are full of childish stories. Silly people.
