May we all be able to let go of anger and ill will and live out lives of gratitude, regardless of religion or no religion.

You are a blind man who leads a lot of blind people to God's Hell...When Jesus returns, He will judge you and all your hindu followers according to your Sins in lives, and your rejection of the sacrifice He has done for you all on th cross...It is worth seeking Jesus now and lead your people to Him and you will all live!! There is still hope, but your time is running out, Jesus is returning VERY SOON!

Karma & Rebirth means We are ACCOUNTABLE for our actions. We take Responsibility.

Karma & Rebirth means that we enjoy the Gift of Life, over & over again!

Karma & Rebirth means there is no place for a Hell, no sadistic God running a torture chamber

Karma & Rebirth means that We EARN everything. A Hindu must never beg nor take anything that is unearned

Karma & Rebirth means we Hindus earn Praise FROM God! Anyone fool can praise God, but Blessed are the Hindus that aim to earn Praise FROM God!

@raepal Well there is a statue of Lincoln in Washington DC - u don't go there & start talking to the statue, do you? U do recognize that it is just a statue? Why do u assume we are praying to a statue?

I am not sure of ur religion - but I see muslims go around a curtain in mecca - why are they praying to a curtain? Why are christians praying to a book? air? the ceiling? Is the ceiling a God? why do Jews pray to a wall? Is the wall considered God in Judaism?

@raepal well hinduism or santana dharma the orginal name has existed way before any current religion our history dates back to million of years and our god told us to keep our mind concentrated on him when praying and he has told to do yoga and we dont think idols are god directly we believe parts of god is in everything of his creation we temporaily use the idols to concentrate on the them to reach god because god we cant see god and the idols show different qualities of god

[raepal]

@jayd4ever

how would you worship , what your hand made and what your mind created ?

If you think that those idols are your god , then why are you required to wash them , give them food and secure them from touching and being stolen ?

- Please speak with me as a friend , Don't say any bad or offensive words !
