And, it would seem, credulous.
And so how can an adult who has walked through the "muck of life" return to a pure state of a child. How can they remove fron their heart all the baggage and preconceived notions of a harsh world that isn't perfect made up of a world of imperfect and broken people who can't be (or afraid to be) childlike?

Don't tell me, by being credulous?

"I have a grand bridge I can sell you, for a very good price..."
"I am an African Prince, for a 20% cut, you can help me to move my inherited wealth to another country..."

I didn't say that GOD's children are without wisdom

Although sometimes not as wise as the children of this world who do use guile and deceit (sometimes)

Not directly - but believing without evidence is credulity and credulity is unwise.
And yet...,blessed are those who have not seen and believe

Some require a hit over the head experience. Their lower carnal senses have to be involved to get them wake up out of the fog and stupor of "running this race of life" before they actually do turn and understand that all along they had their back against LIFE

Mike, you can't ask something that does not exist a question. Once again, poor logic skills on your part.

:) I was talking about dad. :)



Hear is a clue for your latest error, Hinduism is for the most part not a monotheistic religion.

Last I checked it was number three when it came to religions.

Admittedly it's a little more complicated due to the "self realization" aspects of it, but it's not as different from monotheism as you're making it out to be.

It really wouldn't matter in terms of "consensus" however. If you're going to rewind the clock a few thousand years, do you also entertain Earth centric concepts of the universe too?

So you can find some people that argue Hinduism is monotheistic. That is only their personal form of Hinduism at best. I alluded to that when I said that for the most part Hinduism is polytheistic.

One blogger does not change majority belief.

No meme, you simply can't grasp a very simple concept.

Nope, it's an atheist meme since the "consensus" has been monotheism for thousands of years. You might as well be talking about an Earth-centric universe while you're at it.

Ya, and you personally speak for the majority of Hindus do you? :) LOL! This is funny.

You are conflating individual monotheistic beliefs with a belief in the same god.

And no, monotheism is not the "consensus". Once again you are ignoring the vast majority of Hindus.

No. But I can research the religion.

Please, you jump in without thinking and then just keep digging that hole deeper and deeper.

If it even made a difference, it wouldn't be so funny. Since Christianity and Islam by themselves constitute more than half the planet, the 'consensus' is monotheism, regardless of how you personally chose to categorize Hindus, and there's only one "Brahman" in the Hindu faith.

Consensus is far more than half.

Try again.

And yes, there is only one Brahman, just as there is only one Odin, one Zeus, etc. and so on. Polytheism often has a chief god. That does not make it monotheistic.

It's quite clear that you have no desire to discuss the Hindu faith in any depth, and it's irrelevant to my point. Apparently you're the world's foremost leading experts on "gods", the Hindu faith, and the human consensus on the topic of God(s). :)

And to think that atheists claim to hold no belief about God. :) LOL.

What is there to discuss? You have a false belief on the religions of various people. You want to impose your "God" on others. I don't think too many would accept it.

You conflate that fact that monotheism is widespread with a belief in the same God. It is dubious at times whether even dad and AV worship the same "God" When you get to specific claims they may disagree strongly.
