Most of you guys are acting like morons. You swear and use nasty language in the name of one religion to slander another religion. Grow up and get over it. Whether Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Jew, Pagan or Buddhist, the world will be a better place without all you bigots and fanatics!

@rolltide51386 your argument fails because u assume our concept of "god" is like the west!

srry dude ..western atheism falls at the feet of VEDAS ...remember atheism as a school was 1st started in india...go study eastern atheism and u might have a chance!

why would a creator need to be created?

we have a translation problem...in vedic thought there is no CREATION ! only EMANATION a gigantic difference! congrats u found out the bible is a joke!  youre playing with big dogs now puppy!

Sorry... I will hit you...(not it you)

Reminds me of these two verses from Baudelaire: "Je te frapperai sans colère. Et sans haine, comme un boucher". I will it you without anger and without hate, like a butcher.

@natgus1 You will find the same kind of reasoning in Frank Herbert "Dune Messiah" when Paul Muad'ib is asking "what should I do", and someone answers him "decide"... even if that means being unfair. This is exactly the same dilemna Arjuna has to deal with.

@JamariLaw316 Because defeat and victory are both sides of the same coin. In the way that in victory, there is always defeat, as in defeat there is always victory. You cannot have one without having the other. At least, this is the way I understand it.

Your biggest victory is also the moment of your biggest defeat, because at the same time you won, you lost something else. Perhaps it is simply all the effort you put in winning and that is not there anymore...or seems futile.

[JamariLaw316]

What does he mean "victory and defeat are the same"? How so?

@AssassinsCreed43va Youve never heard of the crusaders? You think there werent Christian massacres? Have you ever heard of September Dawn? The only other religious slaughter committed in a September religiously in America? No I dont mean just Muslims. Learn your own history.

@powerfulnun That are Muslims buddy, not Christians...

The original script relating to this segment represents the greatest gift to humanity.... Yet so few understand it.... Even fewer appreciate it.
