Are you telling me that my opinion and view of things is wrong? Are you willing to go that far?
By all means you can tell me that bigoted Hindu's will not recognize the similarities in prophecy between the different religious traditions; yet an educated mind will say the opposite...Are you telling me that my opinion and view of things is wrong? Are you willing to go that far?

So by all means if you can qualify where the information is that contradicts this, I'm always willing to question any argument completely again.

I would not go with right or wrong, but possibly more clarification.
Yeah i got that; yet after a long thread discussing with Hindu's decided that people follow religious tradition, and not the religious texts original intent...I was posting my personal observation. You can take it or you can leave it. I am not contradicting anything you said in your post in particular. I find there's a reason why Hindus don't see you as Hindu and that was my guess as to what it is.
Not sure you comprehend that bigoted isn't an insult, it just means choosing to be uneducated in other religions.Either they're all bigoted, or you're not really Hindu.

Buddhism
Jainism
Zoroastrianism
Judaism
Christianity

There are other new religious and thought movements that are minor, and it remains to be seen if they will survive or not.
Given the tendency of humans to wipe out or assimilate other ideologies- do you recognize how against the odds it actually is that your worldview has survived until today? There is something about the thought movements and religions mentioned that would seem to set them apart from others- whatever that might mean.
Do you realize that your ideology/worldview surviving into the future, in part depends on your zeal for it, and willingness to stand by it?
This is very interesting- is it not? What are the odds that a religion survives for even 2000 years? Much less millennia?
We could argue about the political factors that might have played in favor for these religions, but having looked at all of them- I must admit they all contain rather fascinating insights and interesting ideas for consideration. I don't think it is merely due to politics they have survived. They all seem rather concerned with the human condition and it's problems.

I changed my vote to the likely conclusion that the Zorotastrianism religion may not be around in a thousand years
I fear he'll appear to a vast wasteland because we've blown up the planet by then.I think Jesus Christ will return to earth much sooner.
Not according to the scriptures in Matthew 24...I fear he'll appear to a vast wasteland because we've blown up the planet by then.
I voted Buddhism. But just the Buddha's teachings and wisdom, not the various rituals and gods later sects created. The eightfold path is plenty for people to achieve and "believe". Nirvana in the here and now is really enough for many of us. If people followed those principles, there might not be a need for man made religions. But there probably always will be anyway. Enlightenment without the fluff is just too straight forward for a lot of people. They enjoy the rituals and special gods.Hinduism

My apologies, I need to be more careful with my words. I should have said I think it is enough for some people like me to just follow the earthy teachings for this day and age in this particular country I live in.You make it sound outside the realm of possibility that a Indian man raised in ancient Vedic polytheism would believe in and teach gods...
Yeah, but since we aren't allowed to say "here he is" ...“Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
Why must we have a God? Hinduism in its 'advaita' form can very well do without Gods.So if there was a Creation by a Creator God, the Rainbow Serpent is closer to the Creation than any other known supernatural being.
That is very uncharacteristic of you. Why should you say that the Hindus who do not believe in these spurious prophecies are begoted? Bhavishya Puran is a much interpolated book. It also mentions Mohammad, Queen Victoria and even Victoria Memorial building in Kolkata. 'Advaita' has no need for these prophecies (and you know it well).By all means you can tell me that bigoted Hindu's will not recognise the similarities in prophecy between the different religious traditions; ..
Yeah, I do not believe in bigotry, that is why I choose to ignore other religions. The specifications are not the same... there are some people who will choose to ignore other religions with the exacts same specifications, due to religious bigotry, ..
Why indeed? I was thinking in terms of Western Christianity, and forgetting to be inclusive.Why must we hve a God? Hinduism in its 'advaita' form can very well do without Gods.
