There's no clear definition of god besides "creator of the universe" and that leaves a lot of space for imagination. That's why the god is very subjective thing and everyone has different image of it and experience it in a...

cannibal My God, rather the Godhead- Brahman is vast, infinite and beyond a definition. Yet, some major definitions, as shown below may apply to it: Brahman is of the nature of truth, knowledge and infinity. It is Pure Consciousness, Pure Awareness! The Brahman...

cannibal Creation is a misnomer; manifestation is the keyword. Creation brings along with it a series of unanswered queries, one of which you have rightly posed. Another significant pertinent question is how can something come out of nothing? On the other hand,...

cannibal None; if my opinion counts, you should stay with your ancestral faith. Why contribute to the already utterly ugly and stiff rivalry amongst religions as to which draws the highest number of converts? Of course, there is a chance that you might find some...

Although there are a number of Pagan religions today, most of the Pagans I know well who are not Hindis practice their religion alone or only within their families, so I have a question for anyone who cares to answer. How...

cannibal I pretty much mean the latter, Blummus. An ugly sense of competition and rivalry naturally springs up. Add to that the zeal of evangelism!

cannibal I would rather prefer it solitary. Worshiping in a group, though superficially appears as a booster of equality, my observations and experiences lead me to believing that it rather breeds the dangerous and unhealthy attitude of 'Us versus them'. In any case...

cannibal I have no qualms if you do not find it logical to believe what I have written. But so far I do not find it irrational in any place whatsoever.... There again, why are you so fixated with the verses and page numbers? Is this what constitutes 'proof' for you?...

cannibal You've only been asking the same questions again and again when I have been giving the answers in different ways and paraphrases. If you don't understand, I ain't the one to be blamed! I never said 'Absolute Manifestation'. And for definition of A.C. well...

cannibal It never actually began! That is why I used the term "so-called beginning". As I said, we're eternal in a sense. At that 'beginning' our souls manifested from the A.C. to the respective life forms, depending on their previous Karmas or free wills. There is...

cannibal You apparently still don't get it. Why do you view things as separate entities? Every single entity of the universe is inter-connected, since all have the same source- The Absolute Consciousness. (Or the GUF when talking in terms of science) At the...

cannibal I don't think of your type of God as a faulty human. It is a conclusion I've personally come to. There are so many factors to support this. As for Christ, are you sure? Do you think people subscribing to him never fail or get disappointed? In that case you...

cannibal You can be right on that but then you can see that it becomes frozen and rigid. Religion, I reckon should be flexible enough to adapt to modern times too. That is why I don't like formal religion. It brings too many restrictions without reasons and can be...

cannibal I'm fine with that opinion of yours but I feel religion should not have any senseless restrictions and should not be confined in a box. There must be as much freedom as possible.

cannibal A devout Christian would argue that all the denominations except his own are a product of aberrations and therefore invalid. But as I see it (as a non-Christian) a close look reveals that denominations are just natural. This is because in my opinion...
