I am glad that there is no God

The beauty Evans is in Hinduism it is perfectly normal to believe that there is No God and just be morally right, using one's discretion to determine what is right and wrong, and when in doubt go by The Vedic Dicta. If there is anything called saving it is by one's own effort.

If you ask a christian or muslim, he will tell you there is no rebirth. Every religion has its beliefs, not necessarily the truth. I feel Karma philosophy has no sense. Why did we take the first life? What was the karma for the very first life? Howver, I do believe in soul and after - life. But not in Karma, which is a hearltless belief and denies logic.

Cannibal, according to Karma, a soul is born based on its past-life actions. Nearly half the world population is poor, in wretched conditions. Are we to believe that they committed some heinous sin in their past lives? Of course, soul is eternal. But is there no beginning for the birth it took? If there is no beginning to the birth, then where does the concept of Moksha arise? Moksha from what? If it has been the nature of soul to go on taking birth from time eternal, then why an end to taking birth?

But Fred, according to the Karma philosophy, the soul is eternal. So the question of 'first life' probably does not arise! We've always existed in some form or the other. It is said that in this cosmic cycle we started through a particular species and our different Karmas led us to different ways. Everyone has to go through each species. The rest is history. We'll probably again start a new journey in the next cosmic cycle, i.e. after Kaliyug, even if we've already attained Moksha/Nirvana. All what I've written here is mostly hearsay and so......

there is no such thing as "sacred cow" it is misconception or translation .. cows are respected for the milk they give ... simple math human baby = drinking cow milk human baby = drinking mothers milk drinking cow milk = drinking mothers milk cow = mother in status Question .. will you eat mother ?? mother = cow cheers

A Supreme Being would be God, because no other being is Supreme

Thanks sweetchariot!!! I am very happy that you are praying for the God to have the mercy for me. I am very much grateful towards you. Praying is power, I accept whole heartedly and I also pray for your enlightenment. And about regretting the life or not, there is possibility that you have also mislead the life in the false belief. You cannot say with certainty that I will regret that I have mislead my life. This uncertainty applies to you also dear... I know you are very spiritual person and also I am. It's not that I don't believe in god and I am not spiritual, but I am. The difference is that you search for salvation, I search for enlightenment... happy life and happy mylotting...!!!

Nzalheart...that is no different than Christians...we, too look for enlightment. We ask God to open up our heart and eyes to see the world as he sees it, we look to God for wisdom and understanding, we ask God for the Graces we need to live a life as a good person, to fill our hearts and minds with the things we need to reach this enlightment. The only difference is: We look to God to be enlightened by Him; we believe, without God, this is not possible. I still don't know where you are turning to, to receive this "enlightment" .

Nazalheart...I am glad that you are happy in what you believe! I just hope when you die, that God will have mercy on you, and undertstand that you were always mislead your whole life therefore not responsible for your disbelief. But for alot of the world, it is not stupidity, and there is alot more involved in having faith than looking for miracles. God have mercy!
