Vedic literalism through an atheist's eyes (better version)

[ajitakamal]

Well done, SaimDI.

Google 'Nirmukta' for more about how Hindus resort to muddling and revisionism of facts to present contradictory ideas about Hinduism. So while some Hindus promote purely new-age like mysticism, others are much more literalistic. Others use the Hindu religious label to refer to many things that are simply part of India culture. In fact, the Hindu religious label has simply appropriated many aspects of India culture.

[lotiq]

this isnt Vedic literalism rather western racist literalism - none of the stuff metioned here is remotely present in Vedas or vedanta. Thiis sounds more like 19th century christian missionary propoganda.

nah, just look here if u think Hinduism is false..this will prove u that u r wrong...

watch?v=mlk4ljqjW0c

[SaimDI]

I actually responded to that video. Go check my video list.

[Davij6]

well your response is false...

[SaimDI]

Have you watched the whole thing already? Wow. You're quick.

So, perhaps you can make a video response rather than just saying "it's false"?

[Davij6]

you are being pathetic, your response for watch?v=mlk4ljqjW0c stands no where close with it..

[SaimDI]

If it's so pathetic then make a response, or just send a pm with your refutations.

[Davij6]

lol dude, this will be my last comment...

the only reason im not making a video reply or PMing u is cuz this video is not good enough for a reply...any hindu watches it...he will know that it is false and i really couldnt care less wat westerns think...

[SaimDI]

OK, so you're not going to put your money where your mouth is. Fair enough, you have every right to. /ignored.

[Davij6]

No SaimDl, I am not going to put my money where my mouth is.

[fuckyouish]

ok Saim your saying Vedic Literism is clearly false. The absurd thing is Vedic language Sanskrit and the way it was presented in the past was through symbolic art language. You cannot comprehend something in Hinduism straight through. This attempt to ridicule Vedic Teachings was pretty sad try degrading Hinduism's philosophy through its actual meanings instead of clear cut observations made by you who apparantly has no background knowledge in Hinduism either regarding from your details.

[kumaranirudh]

hey dude. Listen, don't be so ready to ridicule a religion when you haven't reached a level of intellect or mental capacity to understand things. My suggestion, start by reading Stephen Hawking's A brief history of time. Expand your scientific knowledge, and then read about the arts, code language, reading between the lines, historic tradition of ancient civilizations etc., and revisit this topic.

[SaimDI]

Yes, reading Stephen Hawking would make me convert to Hinduism. I get it.

That's why the scientific consensus is that Hinduism is true, right? Oh wait...

[sindiali]

SaimDI you know what, you are a fuckin whore. go get some life you dirty, stincky pussy.

[lolerdelol]

mm not such a great vid..

[binarymage]

Don't worry lolerdelol, you only think that because you're stupid. Hopefully it's nothing contagious.

This video is awesome, awesome stuff. Keep it up. ^_^

[lolerdelol]

its just not a well made video... so why does anyone want to know howhow stupid this one religion is, there are tons more stupids things people believe. i mean its just a pointless movie.

now the 10 commandmends of the atheist is a good youtube clip! really recommand you watch it;)

[dpk9217]

do better research b4 u do sumthing like this u might piss alot of ppl off with ur ignorance...

[SaimDI]

I'm not ignorant. I got all of this from various comparative religious books and articles.

[HE006]

Hindus also worship the penis (lingham). Its true. They also worship the rat and have a temple dedicated to it in Rajasthan. Hinduism is a religion made up by a crack/acid head.

[nikhilyt]

HE006, you worship my potty, loser

[Nebzz]

I think the monkey army is much better than jesus' whiny brigade.

[SaimDI]

But it's more realistic to have human apostles, no?

[Nebzz]

All religions are unrealistic. To argue which is more believable is a waste of time.

[SaimDI]

But you started it ;)

[triniphoenix007]

And you are much more ignorant to cary it on, and perpitrating things like that, as if SYMBOLISM hasnt played any active roles in ANY religion...Didnt jesus teach in parables? didnt the q'ran have examples? whats different about about hinduism and other religions? whats wrong with worshiping all aspects or life, existance and reality? in every way possible, humans are the ones that destroy what they created, not god. do not judge against the standards of ONE religion,

[triniphoenix007]

for each man is different, and by god has the right to his opinions and beliefs. those who judge and jeer others and their beliefs are nothing but supremists, ethnocentrics, and ignorant. thus the ways of the NEW WORLD ORDER, and the plan for world dominance,"divide and conquer." dont you all see? jai shri ram...I AM proud of who and what i am. i respect others and their beliefs. i learn from others, as to not offend them, for we all belong to one planet, universe and ultimately, ONE GOD!!!

[SaimDI]

"SYMBOLISM hasnt played any active roles in ANY religion"

If you accept your religion's mythology as symbolism, I respect you more for it.

"whats different about about hinduism and other religions?"

Nothing. I think they're all bullshit.

"those who judge and jeer others and their beliefs are nothing but supremists, ethnocentrics, and ignorant"

Wow, accusations of racism and cultural bigotry now? Belief =/= identity.

"respect others"

So do I.

"and their beliefs."

This is where we differ.

Bravo! Very nicely done.
