Can deities reproduce?

Hinduism has no prophets, no messengers. All living beings have consciousness even trees.
Well, if that's what you really believe about consciousness, then ok, we are worlds apart, since I know trees are living, but last I heard, they don't do much thinking. At this point, have a nice day. :) It's been an interesting conversation, but as I said, we are worlds apart in recognition of what "I" consider reality. :)

Not yours? (but anyway, that's the insurance company's figuring usually, either way -- you don't believe in God anyway, so out goes your argument that trees think. :) )
On the other hand, if a tree or boulder hits you -- are you saying God did it? You don't believe in God anyway -- so I'm beginning to think (consciously) that you are playing a nice big game. (Have another nice day.) :)

No, I am a strong Hindu atheist. I will attribute it to probability and uncertainty.
No again, I won't say that, I am a strong Hindu atheist.
Yeah, it is a nice ball game. Have a good day or night, whatever it is at your place.
Hmmm? :) You think earthquakes think???
Does your God think? Does he have a brain?
um...in your consciousness, do you decide when you are an atheist, or a Hindu? :) To the best of my knowledge, Hindus are not described as atheists. Just wondering from your self-description. :)
Yes, I am a Hindu and a strong atheist. There have been some views in Hinduism which do not accept existence of God (Nireeshwaravada of Samkhya; Vaisheshika, the Hindu atomic philosophy; and some flavors of 'Vedanta'). I believe in a strict form of non-duality, 'Advaita Vedanta', which does not recognize any difference between any two objects in the universe and believes that they are constituted by the same entity. For example, an emperor or a sage and a pebble in the river. Therefore, there is no place for a God or Goddess in my belief - Gaudapada - Wikipedia, Khyativada - Wikipedia.

Yikes. It's hard for me to fathom what a Hindu atheist is. But! ok ... I can understand how you feel about not believing there is a God (I never thought of God as a goddess, however), because I used to say I don't believe in God. That went on for YEARS. But now I do. May you fare well, that means I hope the best for you.
