They do not need to understand. Just need to live life as it comes to them. :D

Hindus too are 'ahl-e-kitab', muhammad_isa. Messengers came to us too 3,000 years ago and kept coming later also. Half the Hindus will agree that God is one. Even RigVeda says that: "eka evāgnir bahudhā samiddha ekaḥ sūryo viśvam anu prabhūtaḥ; ekaivoṣāḥ sarvam idaṃ vi bhāty ekaṃ vā idaṃ vi...

Interesting interpretation, though just like other theisms, it does not suit an atheist like me.

That depends on your interpretation. "And God saith, `Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness .." Genesis 1.26 (Young's literal translation). And Torah is your oldest book. God would not have used plural, if he was one. Trinity does not separate the three, he is still one.

They may or they may not. They could even be intentionally deceiving us for their own benefit. Brain is capable of doing that. Better to use your brain than a 1,500 year old book.

It has. There is no greater error than belief in God, soul and prophets/son/1=3/messenger/manifestations/mahdis.

Yeah, what I believe is open to correction (if there be a need, but nothing like that in the last 35 years).

When I was younger, it was fashionable. Now I understand better. I must have smoked a Merc during the 67 years. :)

Belief - what science says, and no God.

I have no such platonic ambitions. I would let the world be like it is.

I am one of such smokers. Not good to smoke, but I am addicted. Same is for religion. One may doubt existence or God, but still would not deny religion. My grandpa was of that type - 'I am too old to change my beliefs now'.

Indian Constitution and Courts reject laws where men, women and differently inclined do not have the same rights. Most problem is with Muslim personal laws (Sharia), about multiple marriages, age at marriage, divorce, custody of children, inheritance and maintenance after divorce. This is going...

What you or Egnor say does not appeal to atheists at all. I have no mystery in my life. Every thing is crystal clear.

Indian Constitution wants same law for all people and the Indian Supreme Court strongly endorses it. So, we are going to bring a "Uniform Civil Code" (UCC) applicable to all people irrespective of religion and gender (male, female or differently inclined). As for practicing their religion, that...

In all, I don't miss anything by not been able to go through the video because of my hearing problem. Thanks, wil.

You should not, dear friend. Islam does not give you authority to make 'unholy' conjectures. Only what was revealed to Muhammad (ṣallā -llāhu ʿalayhī wa-sallam). "Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Come! Let me recite to you what your Lord has forbidden to you: do not associate others with Him ˹in worship˺...

I do not need any comforter. But yes, you are correct that Hinduism does allow the use of softly (or hardly) held belief in a deity (or in a multitude of deities, not limited just to male or female). As for my own belief, it is strictly non-dual. I give no space to God, soul, heaven, hell, end...

I see no reason why an individual should sink into despair and resignation. Where do you want to transcend? Will this transcending allow you to live for ever? This desire to transcend is the root of the problem. We are social animals. Live the life as it is thrown to you in the best possible...

'pick a path' rarely works Why do you say that? Many former Christians identify themselves as Muslims, Hindus or Buddhists; and so do people from other religions also. They do it themselves for their own reasons after they become acquainted with their new path.

I stand by my statements 1 and 3. Let me explain the second (post #116): My choice of questions depends on my childhood indoctrination, education, religious beliefs, social and personal experiences. We Hindus, term it as 'Samskaras' (totality of learning). God and soul do not come to me...
