sanaa said:i have read what was said . what u fail to understand is that hinduism is NOT a homogenuos set of beliefs where everyone has the same opinion or the same interpretation . nor is it like mainstream christianity where the world is viewed in black and white . no, many areas are grey amd require to be investigated for their finer nuances and meanings . we do not change our "interpretation" , we explain it in more detail . maybe it was ur first impression that was mistaken . now u accuse me of changing positions , but again i disagree . yes i said there was a risk , is a minor risk not a risk? obviously i felt that my feelings are but understood . i mean if i thought there was some big dangerous risk why would i take it ? obviously i feel that the risk is minor and can be ignored . a minor risk is a risk . the fault lies in ur understanding , no offense .
and you may know a little about eastern religions but u lack deeper knowledge which u urself admitted in one of ur earlier posts . did you know that there atheistic schools of thoughts like charvaka in hinduism ?
do you see the difference between a paradox and contradiction ?
do u know the 1001 names of Vishnu have exact opposites next to each other like zero , infinity etc. ? now ull call that a contradiction too ?
and lets not bring up our earlier discussion where you used to stretch things and imply that something said to me about one incident applies to everything i say .
Sanaa. The problem with you hindus here is that you all seem to have an opinion that you are all too smart than everyone else here. But that is not the case obviously. You guys tend to use subtle words so that you always can convey exactly opposite meanings according to the question that is asked. And you also kind of imply that your scriptures imply that all the time. But please don't forget that there is something called honesty and truth in this world. You can end up deceiving the entire world through your defensive arguments like these but before doing that you would have already deceived yourself in that process. You might be remembering that I was saying during my discussion that hinduism can mean "anything and everything" to anyone and everyone". Atleast some of you strongly claimed that is not the case and now all that you and Ram have done is just demonstrated what I have said earlier. And you guys are talking about logic here. From what you all have talked here about your religion, I am kind of bothered now that even the very little respect that I had for this religion will fall apart.
You are talking about atheistic schools of thought here?!!! I remember once asking here if a true hindu need not even worship any God as I have heard from a similar school of thought. Someone strongly refused and said that it is not true. And now, it is becoming true and tomorrow, who will know what else will become true.
What you guys are saying here about hindu philosophy is something like this. When you say a statement like, "You are stretching my argument too far" I should also understand the same statement as also implying that "Oh no! you are not at all stretching my argument, You have understood it welland also several other varied meanings as can be applied according to the convenience of one who says it. ? As much as I see this, the whole of hindu philosophy now after reading all you and Ram talked about here seems to be nothing more than a well organized strategy of inclusive deception. Sorry. I will not buy this any more. If this is the deeper knowledge that you are talking about here, then let me say, no thanks.
Before talking about hinduism here, I wish you guys would please go and learn the meaning of honesty or the meaning of logic or even the meaning of a debate. Sorry to say that. You simply cannot say that we believe in a God and that we also don't believe in a God and get away with that logically
