This is a small part of the debate Hitchens vs. Turek at VCU in Richmond, VA, complete at:

I love the "family guy" reference beginning at 1:11.

@ramaraksha01 Now you deny that you are a sinner "How convenient" no Sin, no need for God.That being your case, that explains why your religion has no god, you don't need one. Live a little while here on planet earth, "Look at Me, I am working so hard, don't you think I am a good hindu". Being a good hindu has reserved your place in 'Hell'

rejecting Jesus Christ.

You will soon stand in front of God Almighty to give an account of the choice you made.

@oscar45515 all u are doing is regretting ur actions - crying croc tears is regret, it is not Repentence, my friend. Break something? Cry later, apologize later, first, go get a replacement, even if it costs u an arm & leg, THEN apologize, not to a 3rd party like God, but to the VICTIM

No, all u want u are looking for is the easy way out - nice God sent his son to cleanse YOUR sins? how convenient!

Weak religions catering to the weak, the coward

[ramaraksha01]

@oscar45515 Again no consideration given to the Victim! None! All u want to do is run away thru the back door - i will just beg & grovel down on my knees, cry some croc tears & this nice God will send me off to Hawaii! yay! How selfish & inconsiderate of u

If u truly repented, u would do everything in ur power to make things right for the victim - that is the right thing to do, which is what Hinduism urges us to do

Ur religion obviously caters to the criminal/perpetrator

[oscar45515]

@ramaraksha01 Thank God (of the bible) that you at least admit you are a Sinner, (like myself) However you are to pitied my friend, to say you will deal with your sins, if our sins/trangressions could be dealt with any other way, Why, oh why did God send His only Begotton Son, the Lord Jesus to suffer the cross.

Nothing can wash away our Sins but "The Blood of Jesus Christ". Repent while you May!

@oscar45515 "sent His Son to set the captive free from the burden of Sin" that's nice for the criminal/perpetrator but how does this help the victim? So a Bernie Madoff is bailed out, but his poor victims have to struggle with poverty, go hungry?

No Sir, my sins are my own-I am the only one who can correct my mistakes, make amends. If i hurt someone or cause harm to someone, let me make up for it-that is the right thing to do

Ur religion caters to the criminal/perpetrator, not the victim

@add454 Could be - we are ALL biased in some way or other

FYI - it seems u have not been following the conversation or have not watched any of my videos - how is coming back & making this world a better place a fantasy? Fantasy is thinking a nice easy cushy life is just waiting for u after death

We are not advocating that - life is tough - Hinduism is saying running away won't solve anything - stand and fight - that is the real message of Karma & Rebirth

[ramaraksha01]

@oscar45515 U are welcome to ur fantasy - Go

But please understand that u are turning down LIFE! U get to sit on ur butt & enjoy - but it also means no more falling in love, getting married, having kids, cheering on ur favorite ball club, mentoring young kids, voting & fighting for a change in ur country, the ups & downs of life

U are choosing to check out of Life

U are choosing Eternal Death, not Eternal Life

[ramaraksha01]

@oscar45515 As i said we don't have to fight

Have u watched "Becker"? It was a Ted Danson sitcom - he plays this doctor who runs a small clinic in a run down part of NY. Once he gets an offer to go work in a big hospital - clean, nice hospital, rich patients - nice salary-he can enjoy, be happy instead of struggling to make a living

Well, he turns it down! He stays because his patiens need him

Well, Hindus choose to stay with God - there is much to do here, can u understand & respect that?

@ramaraksha01 You both are living in fantasy. If you had been raised in a different religion you'd be advocating that one.

[oscar45515]

@ramaraksha01 Abolutely Everything! this is what you don't seem to grasp.
