Hinduism is sometimes considered to be a polytheistic religion, but such a view tends to oversimplify a diverse system of thought with beliefs spanning monotheism, polytheism, panentheism, monism and even atheism. For instance, the Advaita Vedanta school holds that there is only one causal entity (Brahman), which manifests itself to humans in multiple formswhile many scholars consider Samkhya to have atheistic leanings.
It does not crave his attention or solicit his favour. Significantly, what it wants from him is his soul's understanding. Hinduism wants not only to preserve but also to propagate the inner harmony of every human soul, if such is the Will of God. What it wants is to possess and be possessed by all that is best in the cultural, religious and spiritual wisdom of the world.
Although it has had its periods of inertia, Hinduism is not a static religion. A static religion would lead only to sterility and finally to death. Hinduism has, in its long history, become an emblem of flexibility, independence, creative thinking, and spontaneous innovation in both thought and action. Hinduism knows how to absorb; it knows, too, how to reject in order to sit at the feet of Truth. Hinduism is a ceaseless mounting cry for Truth. It aspires to be the essence of an all-embracing spiritual panacea to feed humanity.

I would question any religion that just asks me to put my brain on the shelf and believe.....blind faith. The bible actually commends people who question what they are told. Acts 17:10,11 says " And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so". 1John 4:1 says
" Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world".

The same could be asked of Christians and questioning their Bible. To fundamentalists, it is a sin. Perhaps those who do not believe in questioning their holy book(s) are afraid that you might not come to the same conclusion as they think you should.
Sounds like the Hindus may know something Christians and Muslims do not.

Freedom of thought , expression and belief was recognized by the ancient seers long before the west started talking about it.
The ancient seers did understand that growth of knowledge is possible only when such freedom is granted that is the reason that the ancient literature includes every point of view from extreme atheism to unquestioned blind belief. !!
There can be no parallel to the wisdom of the ancient seers.

relies upon on the mosque. For Eid there have been a ton who wore it and ripped it off the 2d they were performed praying. i don't have a project in my opinion with the actual shown reality that they don't positioned on it even though it regarded terrible the way they acted afterwards...and on EID all of us rejoice on the mosque jointly. females might want to positioned on a huge Abaya and then rip it off to really prance round and exhibit their stuff after the prayer. this isn't in basic terms my judgment, that is what lots of them will admit too. most of human beings take position...and ...properly...they imagine that is a real thanks to fulfill someone for marriage. some cases on EID I suggested females no longer positioned on hijab in any respect and reckoning on the mosque community they could okay be burdened. PPL can declare to be something they want. Many Muslim females I have commonplace have not worn hijab at one time or yet another. after I first switched over i did not positioned on all of it the time. i'm a convert so the way ppl react is kinda weird and wonderful. If I say salaam they are suspicious...yet when an Arab did this and did not positioned on hijab they are in many cases somewhat warmth jointly with her. convinced, hijab is in Christianity besides -- in basic terms seem on the nuns, the Amish and so on...Jews too... "something is plausible"as they say yet i imagine you're in basic terms attempting to seem for a way out of a prepare of Islam. i might want to be incorrect regardless of the reality that. best of success to you. :)

weird darryl doesn't know his ars from a hole in the ground.
Christians are suppose to question all and back all belief with scripture. Paul discussed The teaching of Jesus with the Jews in the synagogues first were ever he went and he used scripture to find truth and invited non believers to examine the text. It is there to be scrutinized

Muslim:
If we think sth is wrong, it doesnt mean it is TRULY wrong, God knows what is TRULY right and what is TRULY wrong, so we have to seek reference from the holy books.
Hindu:
3 gods, like Christianity???
They just confused how to make peace among their gods.
Shiva vs Brahmana
Who's win? LOL!!

I am soooo glad I belong to NO organized religion, but that I just believe and worship GOD......that way I don't have to worry about what book says what.....I believe there are alot of religious texts....but there are alot of people ready to tell you which one is right too....and this leads to nothing but argument.....

You cannot ask questions in islam because that will expose its flaws. You're expected to just take it in, that's why muslims are brainwashed to simply SUBMIT.
Anyway, some facts for you.
Muhammad raped women and encouraged his men to rape women. The booty(women) were always shared after a raid between muhammad and his men.
Sahih Bukhari Volume 5, Book 59 Number 459 - "I entered the Mosque, saw Abu, sat beside him and asked about sex. Abu Said said, 'We went out with Allah's Apostle and we received female slaves from among the captives. We desired women and we loved to do coitus interruptus.'"
Muhammad had sex with a BIOlogicially underaged girl of 9 years old when he was past 53 yrs old.
Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 64 -Narrated 'Aisha: that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was just nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his death).
Muslims keep lying that Muhammad is clean. Sure, as clean as faecal water.
