Progressive Deity worship? (Jesus, hell, sin, God, Christian)

I find no reason to believe in atma or karma.

If I may intervene, is that because you are materialist?

Ram bhagawan, since i read the ramayan when i was young i loved him. He seems almost ideal, he performed oerfect duties as a kshashtriya (spelt wrong)

Hallo penguin!

My husband also loves Shri Ram because when he was little and he got scared in the night, his daddy used to tell him to call Ram's name.

Interesting! Is it in this context alone or generally in reference to Shiva / Shiv?

Hema, please allow me to differ. We do not bring anything with us when we are born and we do not take anything with us when we die, not even karma. Karma and Dharma remain only till we are alive.

See it this way, an atom of our arm will go to a flower, another in our leg will go to an elephant. Where would my karma go? Actually, I have come from a billion things and I will disperse in a billion things. When the atomic recycling takes place, all our atoms do not go to a new form.

You talk of the shareer of panch mahabhoot. Truth is you are the atma not the 5 maha bhoot.

That's okay.

Yes, the Atman is the Spirit/Soul.
