judaism christianity and islam are inferor destructive satanic religions, they can never be be compared to the depth intellect wisdom and unparalleled superiority hinduism budhism and even sikhism have to offer.

Hinduism is what YOU WANT IT TO BE. All you have to believe in is in the ideas of Reincarnation and Karma. Other than that, you can believe in whatever you want. You can even be an Atheist!

@ramaraksha01 The pillar is a representation of Satan. We don't worship the kaaba, but face the direction when we pray to Allah, who is the creator of everything. If there was more than one God, there would be war between them. Both would want to be all powerful. If both were equally powerful in every way, nothing would exist, because they would cancel each other out. If one overpowered the other, the weaker would not be god, because God cannot be overpowered. So, therefore, God is 1

@ramaraksha01 What about Ganesh, Annapurna, Maya, Balrama, Garuda, Bhuvaneshwari, Hanuman, Saraswati, Brahma, Indra, Shakti, Dhanwantari etc etc etc - are they all the same? According to your teachings, each god(ess) has their own unique abilities, but if they are created, then they are NOT God, and if they are all god then which has the most power? and if one is less powerful than the other, then that cannot be 'god' because God is all powerful. The point is logical, the needy cannot be god

@ramaraksha01 We don't worship Mecca, we face the direction when we pray - God does not reside in the kaaba. If the kaaba was destroyed, and nothing remained at that point, we would still face that direction to pray because it is the central point of the earth, mathematically proven. Stoning the pillars is the stoning of satan. Correct me if I am wrong, but do the hindus not believe that the spirit of God resides in the statue?

Well, Christians do have a holy text. The Bible.

@Asrarulhaq2011 "How is worshipping that which is fashioned by human hands" - lol, this comes from a person who worships a Curtain in Mecca. Who made the Curtain? Didn't human hands make it? What about stoning a wall? Didn't human hands make that wall?

[ramaraksha01]

@Asrarulhaq2011 We don't pray to stones, it is being used as a representation of God. I see muslim going around a curtain in Mecca - can u tell me why u pray to a Curtain? Do u consider a Curtain, God? How can a thing made of cloth be God? It is blown away by the wind, so weak, how can it be God?

U also stone a wall, u think it is Satan? How can a Wall be a person? Just a wall, made of brick be evil? Do u then considers all walls to be evil? Doesn't mecca have other walls? Are they all evil?

[ramaraksha01]

@Asrarulhaq2011 wow lots of questions - as for multiple Gods, why would they be fighting? Not sure this comes from a mentality that can't get along with anyone? If u have several friends, cousins, brothers & sisters - are u saying u will always be fighting each other? assume u are a muslim, muslims allow more than one wife - are they all fighting each other?

BTW ALL these Gods are diff names for one & the same - God Rama is Krishna is Siva is Jesus is Allah is Buddha is Durga

[Asrarulhaq2011]

@ramaraksha01 If there are multiple gods, would htey not be at war with each other? How can you worship that which is created and which is in need? God does not have any needs. He created the universe, time, space and everything. Therefore, He existed BEFORE time and space, thus cannot be restricted by time and space. My question is, how can an stone idol benefit, that which has been fashioned out of stone or clay by man?

[Asrarulhaq2011]

@rabin46 How is worshipping that which is fashioned by human hands 'superior' to the Abrahamic faiths? God created the universe, time, space. Thus, He existed before time and before space, thus time and space are his creatures and He is not in need of them. He is OUTSIDE them. How can an idol fashioned from stone hear or benefit one?
