>give your honest opinion on Hinduism
Paganism. Worship of false gods/demons. Worshiping things that fell from heaven in a rebellion, which treated humans like peasant shit and left behind mutations in genetic code in Asians, and traditions of animals being sacred, like people all over Asia, dragons (Satan) and cows (golden calf).

Giants (Nephilim) were offspring of fallen angels and human women which are recorded in the bible, having 6 fingers and 6 toes, as well as being giants, on the size of temple guardian statues in Egypt, reaching around 50-60ft high, who probably built the pyramids considering the time frame they were in and how easy it would be for a 60ft person to lift a 2.5 tonne stone. They could stack them on top of each other like lego bricks.

TL;DR incorrect pagan religion of demon worship, pic related; 6 finger giantism.

Karma and caste system are pretty good. Fairly interesting and ahead of the time philosophy, even if the actual religion is kind of strange.

>>36750602
>Odin killed the Giants
Norse mythology is paganism and no better than Hinduism.

The Lord killed the giants, via a flood and His Israelite army who pushed them out of their lands at the Lords command.

The bible is true, it's all recorded in a book that's like 6000 years old and much more detailed than a few pagan runes scribbled on some rock in the middle of nowhere in a viking village only 1100 years ago.

Have you even read the Book of Enoch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Enoch

The fallen angels in the Jewish tradition were the instructors of science >"And Azâzêl taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them

Same way, Prometheus stole the heavenly fire from the Heavens and passed this knowledge to the mankind ie. knowledge of maintaining Fire, making the rest of the gods furious

So yeah, we would be pretty much living in a fucking dark caves without the "Nephilim" if you believe in these things in the first place you fucking idiot fuck

>>36751087
>So yeah, we would be pretty much living in a fucking dark caves without the "Nephilim"
Good goy.

1) "Light" is knowledge. It was stolen (a sin) and given incomplete (imperfect) to humans (impingement of free will) in order to be worshiped (self-exaltation). There is only 1 God, He is the Lord. He has 2 commandments alone to explain this. This "light" also caused abortions and all types of problems, including degeneracy (tattoos, makeup, nature worship, animal worship, stellar worship, numerology, astrology, etc).

Essentially a kid going in his parents room and finding a book and tearing a page out and then giving it to a younger kid in the playground to hear "wow you're so cool". This 'hot shit' kid also caused Eve to sin, which caused a world of shit for 6000 years, including the death of everyone. Even Jesus Christ had to die, in order to defeat death, evil and sin.

'Prometheus' is not a heroic story of kindness. Take your luciferian shit elsewhere m80.

2) The world doesn't need "light". I've seen quite enough of what this perverse shitty world has to offer because of this incomplete knowledge stolen from the Lord. You see it every day, atheism, self-exaltation, haughtiness, consumerism, materialism. The world needs the Lord, His Holy Spirit, and His Word Jesus Christ. It needs LOVE, not LIGHT.

I don't know anything about the religion, but Indians are the most pleasant immigrants here in the states. Very friendly people. One convenience store owner let me bum off cigarettes once when I was homeless. Too bad that India has so many problems, and the caste system really needs to go.

>>36751917
>He is a muslim.
That's terrible. Islam is evil. Denial of Jesus Christ and worship of Satan via a false prophet warmonger who wrote a book completely unrelated to the bible, either OT or NT.

Muslims pray to a black cube / pagan idol. It's satanic.

>>36751927
While Caste system no longer exists, we still have problems and mutual distrust within castes.

>>36751870
Yeah Catholics but being a practicing Christian who does good things rather than blindly follow a book is better thats why I like the current pope he seems to be more about action.

>>36751974
But Islam does recognise Jesus as one of the prophets, Satan is hated and Muhammad was mostly influenced by OT and NT.

>>36752073
>But Islam does recognise Jesus as one of the prophets
It says that He is mistaken about being the Word of God, i.e. they are anti-Christs that reject Him. They say that essentially when He came as the Son and Word of God that he's a liar and only a prophet.

So, they accept someone who speaks for God but as mistaken/liar.

Doesn't that concern people? Mohammed is the false prophet. He's led many people to accept Satan as God.

>>36752165
A Christian (About this sound pronunciation (help·info)) is a person who adheres to Christianity, an Abrahamic, monotheistic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. "Christian" derives from the Koine Greek word Christós (Χριστός), a translation of the Biblical Hebrew term mashiach.[1].
Guess what Catholics can be defined by this.

>>36752204
Why? Yes, Sun and Son are similar words.

>>36752290
RC is a Roman church, Roman as in pagan.

They are basically taken in to an institution of the traditions of men and taught that they are from the Lord. That's why Catholics are usually so against protestants and others, because they don't like criticism. They spend usually a long time following the traditions of men to be accepted in to a Catholic church, and then it's an achievement for them once they are confirmed/baptized or whatever. And then they see criticism of their traditions of men as criticism of them or God. It's not true.

>>36752179
Modern city-
I'd say Mumbai and Bangalore. Try Bangalore, it is cleaner and well maintained. Mumbai is over-populated and lots of poor immigrants from surrounding states and countries.

Weed-
Weed is legal during the Hindu festival Holi. Other days it is illegal but prosecution of weed users is rare, I've never heard of it personally.
Some of my collgem8s smoke it.

Mumbai is the economic capital of India and de facto of the whole sub-continent.

State-wise immigration- Except people from UP, Bihar, rest are good immigrants. UP and Bihar are overpopulated themselves and their states are very backward. The only significantly polluted river in India is Ganges which is in UP and whose pics embarrasses all of us.

Country-wise - Bangladeshi and Pakistani immigrants are not considered good immigrants.

There are many programmes going on, but the attitude of people needs to change which I hope happens in near future.

The Bible is pretty clear on this issue. In John 14:6 Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

If you don't believe that Jesus was the Christ, God incarnate, God the Son, who died for your sins but rose again then your belief is against the word of God, and the Christians of this generation need to be aware of what that really means the next time they refer to jews or mulsims as their "brothers" in "abrahamic" religions.

>>36753138
There are two dragons mentioned as far as I know. One is celestial and is used of the devil/serpent and is a figurative description (unless you're David Icke I guess) and some other dragon that I think was a weird translation or some shit.

Don't believe what many people tell you about these subjects though. There are people who say shit that is just straight made up sometimes. Like the 6 fingers thing, that isn't in the bible, for instance. However, the evil spirits being the souls of the giants actually is biblical (Isaiah calls evil spirits Rapha which was a name for giants in his day) and that means evil spirits are not fallen angels.

A lot of Christianity is just made up traditions because they decided to forget their Ancient Near Eastern origins. Do your own studying and don't go to shoddy websites.

There is clearly a pantheon, at least to me. it just isn't codified like the pagan religions because they are the Powers of Heaven (more accurate than blanketing them as angels since those are messengers) but they are not the Creator of the universe.

But they most certainly are the same figures in Greek and other mythologies. I tend to think Nibiru (the heavenly cross) was Christ's star before Abraham came along, and the Hebrew name might be etymologically connected (those who crossed over) and that it might be the Sign of the Son of Man in the end we will see in the sky. Christ came to Abraham looking for a line to come through in those days.

I'm not your average Christian. I am kind of fringe, hah. I'm in no way a pagan, I believe what is in the bible, but if the bible is accurate then other people would have seen and recorded the events too since they were kind of important.

Bangladeshi immigrants are bad because, 90%+ of them are illegal. It is the same with the Pakistanis.

India was known for its non-alliance with any major power during the cold war, albeit relied heavily on the Soviet bloc. Recently it has been shifting heavily in favour of western nations for investment. India regards its neighbours Nepal and Bhutan as close allies.

I studied Ramanuja Vaishnavism in Australia for a while. It is complex, detailed and very satisfying. It is too in-depth for most Westerners. Christianity is much easier for busy people.

I like how no one realizes how eurocentric "paganism" is. Paganism was literally a term for non-abrahamic religions, practiced by literally every non-muslim and non-christian state. It's as bad as "The middle east and the far east" and the fact that Europe is arbitrarily made a continent despite lacking any real division with Asia.

>Recently it has been shifting heavily in favour of western nations for investment.
What kind of investments? Is it ditching Putin? He seems to be at war with the West, and he's going to win.

About rape- those mostly happen in poor states like UP and Bihar.
Eg- That one case where gang-rapists faggots inserted an iron rod inside her hole which led to her death. They were Biharis.

Those cases in which girls hang themselves after getting raped are from UP. Long story short, UP has caste feud between Yadavs and Dalits (both of whom are traditionally lower castes btw). Here rape is used as a form of revenge by two factions. UP is fucked up. Its local govt. is too incompetent and blinded by caste politics.

UP and Bihar are for these reasons most hated in India.

>How much do you guys care about the environment? Let's put the polluted river(s) aside, I know its a religious thing.
Most of us do care. So situation is improving with time. But like I said some are aware of it yet are pragmatic.

>>36753636
Agreed. These gods provided variety and constant struggle with demons or asuras.

With Bhakti movement and rise of monism, it has got boring.

>>36754003
>How much do you guys care about the environment? Let's put the polluted river(s) aside, I know its a religious thing.

It's strange Hinduism is very ritualistic and cleanliness takes a great precedence. Such as not allowing entry to a temple without washing feet etc. However this same cleanliness comes to bite Hindus in the ass because of castes, i.e. cleaning a toilet for example is seen to be below certain castes and having a toilet itself in the household as bad. Hope that answers your question.

All this is rapidly changing, caste system is becoming much weaker these days.

>Are you Indian?
Yes.

>What kind of investments? Is it ditching Putin? He seems to be at war with the West, and he's going to win.
India needs a growth rate of roughly 8% to accommodate the current population and to keep unemployment low. In order to achieve this India hopes to enthral US and western Europe to invest in India. The present Prime minister was elected with a strong majority and has promised any firm which comes to invest in India a smooth ride. However many firms who have come to India in 2006 have felt that Indian infrastructure is not capable of providing such an environment.

In regards to Russia, India still relies heavily on Russia for many of its arms imports, and it hopes to sign some energy treaties with Russia. It is estimated that Russia will in future construct roughly 20-30 nuclear power plants in the coming decade in India.

>UP and Bihar are for these reasons most hated in India.
I'm glad to know that its limited to those two states. Perhaps your government should do more to tackle that issue.

Thank you for answering my questions. Hindu people are very friendly.

One more question though, where in India is it the most weed friendly?

>>36754484
>invest in India
What are you guys exporting?

Thank you for answering my questions.

Firstly, you are welcome.

See image, it's the exports of India in recent months.

I am not an expert on this matter and I've had to look up Wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_India#Foreign_direct_investment

Most sentiments from the Prime minister has been to increase India's standing on the electronics sector as the Imports of electronics in recent years have cause India to have trade deficit.

Both christianity and islam are an apostasy of Judaism.

I mean, fuck the jews, but what you assholes believe in are basically a shitty copy of judaism

>>36754750
I have more questions if you have time.

Least crime in India?

Most popular food in India?

Most popular drink?

Whitest Indians in India?

>>36754935
>I am not an expert on this matter and I've had to look up Wikipedia.
No problem the image answered my question perfectly.

>electronic trade deficit
I'm sure that this is true for most countries, because the producers are very few. In any case, it is a necessary defecit because Indians would enjoy greater lives with access to these products. Perhaps India will innovate something extraordinary which with demand will help your economy. Good luck my friend.

>>36754988
>Least crime in India?
Place with least crime? I dunno. Statistics are not much reliable. In general, places with better HDI like Kerela, Maharashta and Punjab and parts of north east have least crime, I think.

>Most popular food in India?
Chole Bhature- Chickpea curry (punjabi dish) in the north

Idli-dosa- made from fermented rice/dal in the south.

Shrikhand (kinda like sweet yogurt) / Light snacks- popular in Western India

Fish curry - Eastern India

>Most popular drink?
If alcoholic beverages, I dunno. I personally like Vodka like many do.

Lassi- a type of flavoured milk is most popular.

>Whitest Indians in India?
You mean lighter skin?
Regionwise, far northern states like Himachal and Kashmiri people.

Although, upper caste people are usually fair-skinned in any part- even deep south.

>>36753057
Why do people say this? Especially people who's own ancestors were Christian? I don't get it.

What is so offensive about 'don't be a whore', exactly? I guess you'd prefer honor killings to advice.

It's nothing but idolatry.

They're not on the same level as jews, who know the truth but ignore it in arrogance.

>>36755549
Why do you think idolatry is so bad?

>>36754963
Funny because Islam's Book is the only one that hasn't been altered by human hands.

While the Jews and Christians had Books that were 100% truth, it got dirtied and corrupted by human hands.

>>36753746
> too in-depth for most Westerners
Too complex for Westerners... that's why Westerners developed quantum theory and created particle accelerators, while Indians still live in poverty... "Too in-depth" what? Fantasy? Imagination? Talking about nonexistent entities?

>>36755653
Because to have many gods weakens the omnipotence and omniscience of the one God. If you see "gods" having children, "coming" to Earth etc, what makes them different from us?

Belief in a one true God is accurate because He has never begot, nor has He been begotten. He always existed and created the universe from nothing.

The mere fact that humans want to be able to see God to believe him is pure arrogance. You cannot even see bacteria, atomic particles, and you want to see He who created all things?

>>36753802
>Most westerners don't know shit about eastern religions (including me), and we shouldn't pretend our history books give us sufficient information.
Yes, most. I know everything there is to know. I studied Jōdo Shinshū (浄土真宗), both Rinzai & Soto, Obaku, the classical Chinese guys (HuiHai, Huangbo, Yuanwu, Dahui, etc.) - I studied the Upanishads, the Zhuangzi and its main commentator, Guo Xiang, etc. studied Nagarjuna, Candakirti, the Nirvana School, Tiantai, Huayan, etc. etc. and while it's all very interesting, it's still not true. No philosophy can replace the Truth and Life that is Jesus Christ.

>>36753640
Because the Rigveda wasn't written like a book... it's something created to be sung in ceremonies. It's not meant to be a "book" like we concieve books nowadays. It's something essentially different.

The highest of Asian literature IMO is the Zhuangzi, and even that doesn't compare to the numinous supremacy of the New Testament.

Buddhism is essentially a progressive form of Hinduism. Siddhartha Gautama was a Hindu who rejected the caste system and a lot of the other nonsense that goes on within that religion. If you people really need a philosophy to live by I suggest going to the library and reading books on Buddhis.

>>36750239

Freaks, particularly gaigin who decide to embrace it.

>>36755794
>omnipotence and omniscience
That just brings more loopholes into a religion.
Plz explain why there is evil if-
>Belief in a one true God is accurate because He has never begot, nor has He been begotten. He always existed and created the universe from nothing.

>You cannot even see bacteria
what are microscopes

>atomic particles
Yes, we do not know how they are actually like. But atomic theory is accepted by modern scientists.

>>36755794
Yet, within Abrahamic monotheism there is always an Order of Angels, or Hierarchy. Jesus supposedly "came to earth". There is a trinity within both Christianity and Hinduism. Elohim means "Gods and Goddesses". Gotta see they're very similar.

Most Westerners did not contribute to or learn much quantum physics though. And scientists in the US, the ones who do contribute to science, certainly have a decline in religiosity and study of religion, as seen in the chart.

Only the new testament, written by Constantine was altered.
The old testament is almost identical to the quran and the tanakh.
Whoever told you the tanakh was altered is a liar.
