Actually I am a girl
Do you believe your religion has proof(s) outside of the good old "the proof is in the pudding" approach?

Most people put it on their profiles. I check there often, when conversing with folks.Lol. I am so sorry sister. This is something that happens to me all the time. If you see my face now you will know how embarrassed I am.
Are you asking from the poster? From the OP?
Brother. Thats not fair bro.
I am wondering if they do believe that or not. I'm interested to see if it's scripture as proof or philosophy of it or something else or they believe it has no proof and up to people to just taste it and know it's truth.

Most people probably have done this. It's also wise to not care about gender, or use neutral pronouns, like 'you'.When I check, I never find it. So habitually I forget to check it, and every now and then I taste my foot in my mouth.
Not the OP, but I'll answer if from my personal and Hindu POV, which is in the same school of Hinduism as OP, monistic Shaiva Siddhantha.Do you believe your religion has proof(s) outside of the good old "the proof is in the pudding" approach?

'Proof' is not part of the way I think, and I suspect that goes for many Hindus. So the question doesn't really make any sense to me. I know I can't prove my faith, and I don't believe others can prove theirs either. Of course they claim they can, but I don't take that seriously.
There is just so much about religion beyond proving yours is right. I'm far too busy practicing that to even go there. It works for me, and that's all I need. So too for others. If it works for you, that's great.
Same thinking applies as above. It works for me. No need to prove it to anyone, including myself. It's not of the intellectual mind, but of the intuitive mind. The intuitive mind doesn't need proof. Only the intellectual mind needs proof.I'm talking about proving to yourself.
Thanks for answering.Same thinking applies as above. It works for me. No need to prove it to anyone, including myself. It's not of the intellectual mind, but of the intuitive mind. The intuitive mind doesn't need proof. Only the intellectual mind needs proof.
This is a major difference between east and west.
You are right. Five has another significance. In older times Indo-Europeans new of only five seasons and not six as now in India. RigVeda is the sole authoritative surviving lore of Indo-Europeans and it says many things. It Said:So I guess then 5 has an association of another kind, perhaps with darkness or some other unit of time.
What about other time divisions? Are there months? Years? Seconds, minutes, seasons? Thanks if you know, and I'm only asking idly so don't stress yourself if you don't know. We're just having fun I hope.
What do you think of Vamachara, the Left Hand Path in Hindu traditions?
If you talk of polytheist Hindus. They have the same view as theists of other religions except that they they do not insist on one God. There are various Gods and Goddesses, doing various things. But if Hindus talk of one God then they also talk of all things (humans, animals, vegetation and non-living things) to be indivisible part of that only. People like me accept that we are part of one but do not make it into a God. Yeah, my views are 100% compatible to the latest in science. Pudding is what we make of it.Do you believe your religion has proof(s) outside of the good old "the proof is in the pudding" approach?
Hindus are not limited or bound to their scriptures. They are allowed to go beyond them. They can have different views. Hinduism is a dynamic religion.I'm interested to see if it's scripture as proof or philosophy of it or something else or they believe it has no proof and up to people to just taste it and know it's truth.
I never check the gender of the person I am interacting with. By my principle, I do not favor that. If I am wrong, I can always ask to be excused.Most people probably have done this. It's also wise to not care about gender, or use neutral pronouns, like 'you'.
Perfectly valid in spite of what gurus and (western) people make of it. It is not a license to depravity.What do you think of Vamachara, the Left Hand Path in Hindu traditions?
What is impossible for a God like Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva or Mother Goddess Durga? The universe emanated from them. What thing in the universe will not be constituted of them. When they want, they can fold it up.Oh you are advaita vedanta. Great. The question I asked was in relation to creation. The creator, if part of creation itself, created himself?
