Fair enough - but I don't understand atma never mind parmaatma and absolutely do not comprehend how merging with parmaatma benefits atma.

 

The simplistic Christian explanation of everlasting life with no sorrow can be understood. If you enjoy eating misal pav and jalebi and pani puri, you can eat those and other things to your content. If you enjoy math - keep studying it to your content etc. Kind of boring I think but ok....can comprehend. But no sorrow? So if I like hunting and shoot an animal - there is no sorrow? What nonsense.... Still can be rationalized.

 

Honestly atma merging with parmaatma and the benefits of that is beyond me and with all due respect beyond those who claim to understand it too.

Hindu philosophy is difficult to understand, that is why they teach it with puranas, kathaa, etc. Vedas and upanishads were difficult to preach, hence Vyas  made it concise into 18 chapters of Bhagavad Gita to explain the philosophy of Vedas and upanishads. Advait separates your body and consciousness (atma) which loosely translates to living spirit. That lives on forever in different bodies in the cycle of life and death. They thought that consciousness has to come from where, they called it to be part of a supreme consciousness (parmaatma, nothing but universe ) . The cycle of life and death will be stopped when the atma attains the perfection to be merged back into parmaatma , which every must try to achieve by doing good karma.

 

The culture, rituals and practices are to be followed as per the times of the society. They need to reform with new settings age and new knowledge, hence there is need to reform. 
 

Spitting paan on clean walls is not taught by Dharma for you to mock. It is caused by degeneration of society . They have to reformed by stick

I agree, Science doen't agree with my faith. Not sure if it's science's limitation, coz we still haven't been able to capture the entirety of solar system and other galaxies. 
We aren't that advanced, so it's an ever going process.

Few centuries back, science didn't agree that earth is round and revolves around sun. 
Infact, science don't agree with every religion's faith. You will find discrepancies and counter-arguments everywhere.

This Abrahamic religions all equate to one thing - as Christina Rosetti famously said in one of her poems....

 

"Sorrow's springs are the same"

 

The sin committed by Eve(and Adam) of eating that stupid apple. I suggest we all people on earth give God back one damn apple each and say "Please get over it".

I’m not quite sure what point you're trying to make here. Are you trying to suggest that Christianity is more plausible than Hinduism?

 

Because, I believe all religions are simply man-made BS stories.

They are certainly simplistic.

 

I do believe there is something there beyond this existance but it is beyond our capacity to understand. No religion explains it well.

He’s been Robert Caldwell preaching Christianity throughout this thread, if you can catch the drift.

@zen no offense bro. People r talking non sense, we will never go extinct. I’create 100 babies a month if i have to.


Some folks think it is fashionable to do stuff like “show me God”, “why this or that”, etc., using stuff they learned in school. 
 

And many of these folks find it easy to blame religion for all their miseries. 
 

Let them :dontknow:

I find it a bit pointless to dwell on those questions. We only have one life and in each moment, it's just your mind, your consciousness, your capacity to experience suffering or happiness. That's all that matters.

Some of us refuse to thank "God" for all that is good and blame "Karma/Devil/Shaitan" for all that is bad.

 

You see this is how it goes....

 

Abrahamic religions

Good - God gets credit

Bad - Devil or Shaitan  gets blame.

 

Hinduism

Good - God gets credit

Bad - Karma gets blame.

 

But whatever floats your boat.

I follow Hinduism so can only speak for it (the thread is on Hinduism too).

Nothing wrong with thanking God for good and taking responsibility for the bad (karma). 
 

It is the same thing with parents. You praise them if something good happens to you, and take responsibility for your own actions if things turn bad.

Yes, the concept of karma is sinister and evil and has been used to subjugate people. It is the basis of the caste system in our society.

Ok - I certainly take responsibility for the bad that happens to me. Last person I will blame is God.

 

But I refuse to thank God for the good that happens to me.

 

You can play your all credit no blame game but I don't have to participate in the same.

I don’t think religion should be forced on anyone. It is a personal thing. The faith comes from your experiences, wisdom, culture in your home, etc.
 

If someone does not follow God, he/she is the one missing out. No one else has anything to lose!
