There must be a core, the core must have a definitive reason. Otherwise, the suborinate task(us)are left with the interpretation of expectation and justifcation from ourselves. I believe without a doubt that Christianity’s core (Jesus/Holy Spirit/God) as the trinity with 500 year of preface to Jesus’ coming, then perfect example left no room for doubt. Without tracing back as to why something happeneds, how can we identify if we “speaking subordinately” know if we are doing things correctly here on earth? Most religions allow us to think creatively in a self enlightment type of way. If that is the case….who is to say Charles Manson is not correct in his philosophies? Just by not acting out the “bad” things doesn’t make me a good person.

Let us confront the big question: where do we come from?

It has been common among religious believers to look with misgiving at atheists and agnostics, and to think that they are mistaken; however, in many instances the opposite is the truth; some religious beliefs are not just baseless, but obsolete and irrelevant. The fantasy “God” of main line traditions simply does not exist. Most people don’t dare to confront their religious doubts; they are afraid of abandoning the “certainty” of their convictions, and opt for the status quo. It is unbelievable how myths and a religious fantasy have influenced human minds with more strength than reality!

On the other hand, it seems that agnostics and atheists do not dare to confront and accept the logic and the reality that “there is no effect without cause.” If this world exists, it must have a cause. We cannot assert that they were only naturalistic causes as natural selection, because these need also a reason for their existence. So, the only logical explanation is the existence of an Existence by itself (capital, because it is unique, its proper name), which must be necessary and infinite, and therefore not physical. You might call it “Something” or “Someone;” names do not matter. There is probably a single issue in which I do not agree with atheists: that reason and logic do not force us to accept an uncaused-cause. There is no alternative.

There is a book that might help those with religious doubts or full of religious illusions: “Christianity Reformed From ist Roots – A Life Centered in God.” Distinguished philosophers and thinkers might give you an idea of this book—perhaps a generation ahead of time for most believers—(links below); or you might look at excerpts at Amazon.com.

“You can believe in one god and he can be a Hindu. You may believe in multiple deities and still you can be a Hindu. What’s more – you may not believe in god at all, still you can be a Hindu. An atheist can also be a Hindu.”

-Just to clarify a Muslim cannot be a Hindu. There are very specific rules and laws regarding Islam, and Muslims have their code laid out for them. That does not intersect or have any relation to the Hindu code. Muslims dont subscribe to any theories but the ones laid down in the Holy Quran.

I agree that the same one God has created everything and everyone, Muslims, Christians, Hindus etc.. and, of course, the creation is not just purposeless. Everyone has a limited time to live in this world. To avoid confronting any undesirable situation after death an intelligent person should earnestly request the Creator for guidance to follow the belief and way of life that the Creator likes which will lead to eternal success. One who seeks guidance from the Creator with sincerity will not be disappointed and will be lead to pleasures and rewards in the infinite life which is to come. Be prudent. Donot spoil yourselv. Ask the Creator everyday to show right path. Normall it seems difficult to settle such matters just by argument to overpower others. Be interested in yourself and your perpetual and unending future life.

I am a Hindu, I am aware that to be a hindu u have to be born to hindu parents or to start believing in set of believes a Hindu follows, a set of rules that does convince you or thretens you to be followed mandatory. But I am proud to say that we have faith in our religion that is why we dont preach it or convince people with every possible mean to onvert in our religion as some other religions do as we all know which religions I am talking about. With due respects to all religions, I’ev been taught by my parents to respect humanity and to believe in myself. After an number of invasions in the country India where Hinduism is practiced since always, it has still survived because of the concrete faith of people.

Not all Christians are as naive to eastern religions as this girl was, however it is a sad fact that westerners are generally becoming less spiritual.
