I have personally never seen a more touchy group. I ask about 330 million Gods and the roof flies off.Hee. If only.
Succeed what? The entire philosophy and theological community dissagrees.It took you a long time to succeed that, though; and you keep making Ravi Zacharias into an amazing Hindu scholar; he isn't.
The evidence strongly dissagrees.You, us.
I do not know enough about most on Hinduism to argue much beyond concepts. You are very touchy. Do you believe Hinduism teaches freewill?If I'd done that, you could have argued against it. I've seen enough people argue against the caste system when it's denied as Hindu.
So the very benign and completely reasonable statement that 330 million God's is hard to take seriously is just a bridge to far and warrants rants and raving.We're not "so hostile and sarcastic"; we just don't like rudeness and facetious insults; show some niceties, you'll get them back. Fact. Think of it like karma
You have no idea what I am capable of.Also, it takes a fair amount of knowledge to 'seriously debate' people; since you asked about the number of gods and of caste, I doubt you truly have much to what is actually Hinduism from credible sources. It'd be in your best interest to learn about what the religions of Hinduism teach first before trying to blindly debate it.
Quote the statement where I said there was a problem. Let's try this out. What is your commentary on this statement?:And you got an answer; so where's the problem?
What does this mean? If Satanism has more left handed people that live above 30,000 feet than any other religion is it therefore true. Christianity is number one by far in totals even though we do not enforce religion by culture or force. We do not count a new born as a Christian and our birth rates are 1/8 the rates in Islam and lower than India. We are I believe the fastest growing as well. I do not value statistics as they do not prove the truth of something and the use of arbitrary statistics are pointless.This is something interesting I found online, I can post the whole article if anyone is interested.
Any religion that embraces 330 million Gods is kind of hard to quantify or take seriously.
Seriously though I do not understand how any religion that allows for 330 million God's could be taken seriously but I am quite sure it is taken as such by many and meant no insult.
The claim that 330 million deities is a little hard to take seriously is a very reasonable stance.
I reitterate that 330 million God's may in fact be a false number but there is more than enough information to justify someone claiming that, even if incorrect.

Something fascinating about statistics ... when they're posted to support your case, they're valid, but when they don't support your case they're irrelevant.
Btw you keep comparing Hinduism to Christianity and Islam and claim Hinduism is much united? Ahem, was it not Christianity or Islam that eventually conquered India and occupied it for several centuries?
Ahem, isn't it Christianity and Islam which have spread as world religions in every part of the world and were able to unite whole empires including the Islamic empire and Christian empire, and ushered in an age of science and technology.
I am the one here who is truly trying to unify Hinduism. It is not I who am creating divisions for I am arguing for reform and organizing the religion with a common set of doctrines so that future Hindus have a single comprehensive religion and can work together as one people, it is other Hindus insisting on remaining fragmented and keeping dead traditions like caste system, widow burning and superstitious practices. Fine, then remain fragmented - if Hindus did not learn their lessons when foreign invaders invaded their civilization left right and center because of how fragmented and divided they were, then they maybe delivered the final lesson by the great red Dragon fairly soon.
I am taking Hinduism from Indian-Hindus. It is no longer their property.
You are doing a laudable thing to unite it; Hinduism needs reformation, in my opinion.

One person on one forum with maybe 20 Hindus, and you think he's going to unify it?
Wow. Just wow.
So far we've only heard of the problems, and no solutions. I'm waiting anxiously for those to appear soon.

Why don't other Hindus join his endeavour?
That looks interesting, but I am not sure if posting the whole article would violate copyright, if it won't please go ahead and post it, but otherwise just give us a link.
Because approximately 899 999 980 ( 900 million - 20) Hindus won't hear about it, unless he has some incredibly profound connections with the media in India.
What about the Hindus in this forum? Why don't they support him? It is a good cause, in my opinion.

Maybe the graph would be more useful if we discussed why Hinduism has such high retention rates?
