Defender of the Truth
Have any of you ever been accused of not being commited to either religion? I get called a turncoat all the time for following four religions at once. I'm HIndu because I'm a panentheistic henotheist and believe in reincarnation of the atman. Hindus should recognize all deities as one, so they shouldn't have a problem with it. I'm LDS because I value the guidance of Jesus and the President/Prophets of that church. When I was baptised the missionaries told me I could keep my other religions. I'm Jain because I value ALL life and try to practice ahimsa as much as possible. I currently have the flu but am still praying for the souls of the organisms that my immune system is killing. Mahavira taught that sages come from all religions. I'm Baha'i because I believe in unity of all religions and I recognize Baha'u'llah. 'Abdul-Baha actually said that converts are not only allowed to identify as Christian Baha'is, Jewish Baha'is etc but MUST continue involvement in our previous religions. Yet some people consider me to be unserious in religion and some members of my family have called me immoral (though I think it may have more to do with the fact that none of my four religions is Catholic or mainstream Protestant).
