I am serious and I have said this after thinking about it for years. Yes, there are unknowns, but science is working on that. Are we not aware of relativity, quantum mechanics or uncertainty, though we may not be scientists working on these fields?

I do not consider Buddha, Mahavira of Jains or Guru Nanak of Sikhism as outside Hinduism. I have learnt so much from Buddha. They were part of us and expounded 'Dharma'. In Hinduism, it is considered'Mata' (Opinion) or'Pantha' (Road). 'Buddha Mata', 'Jain Mata' or 'Gur-mat' (the opinion...

I have learnt from these stories. Yes, they can be used in harmful ways by faith-based believers. Faith sans evidence is not for me. I do not believe that anything operates outside our sense and conscious awareness. Where is the evidence?

To all people. Why just Hindus? Why should others be unscientific in this 21st Century?

As an atheist Hindu, I think they are folk-stories which have been created for guidance of people. In these stories, when Gods err, people clearly say that it was not correct, and that should not have been done. That is guidance. There is nothing that I will label as 'divine'. I think that is an...

As per my view, that is correct. We have the wisdom of our elders in the scriptures, we have the knowledge of modern science, we have our life experiences, we have a brain which is meant for critical analysis. What more do we need? Why cannot we make our own decisions? There may be people who...

Hindus do not think that way. The rules (dharma) are eternal - Sanatana.(Hindu religion is also known as Sanatana Dharma). It is supposed that 'dharma' does not change even when an old universe folds up and a new universe comes into being. :D Even Gods and Goddesses have to go by their 'dharma'.

Hindus have nothing to do with God of Abraham. Our elders made the rules and we follow it, change them when necessary. In this age of democracy, the government and judiciary also have a role to play in the process. That has proved sufficient for us. No God involved.

That is very ungrateful of you. You are using what science has provided to you every moment of your life, and you say do not believe in science. At lest science minimizes errors all the time. OT description of creation is the funniest document, has umpteen errors in its six lines, and no one...

What is the evidence that they are from any God? They are supposed to have been communicated to people like Mose and Muhammad (Christians do not believe that Jesus was given any law. They consider him to be God, he gave the law, your view may differ. As for Muhammad, Allah was very partial to...

What is guidance? Best way to respond to a situation. Situations change. Even Allah's commands changed, 'naskh'. Changes become necessary, time necessitates it. Even death cannot stop change.

:). You have the book. What is the use of intelligence? Your intelligence cannot change the book.

Ego (as if one can make a difference). :)

An atheist Hindu here. I have a different views.

Yeah, people themselves change the rules with passage of time, update it. Society at one time did not accept inter-caste marriages, now it is not rare. Polygamy is not prohibited in Hinduism, but government (i.e., majority opinion) outlawed it. Since ages, but change is a part of it.

In Hinduism, people believe in Four types of beliefs about 'ultimate reality. 1. There are many Gods and Goddesses, each doing the work they are known for. Of course, they can do other things as well. 2. For some, it is a principal God or Goddess. Other Gods and Goddesses are secondary to him...

Just wait till I return after having my lunch. That will be about 30 minutes. I wrote a reply but exceeded the time limit of 20 minutes for editing. The forum did not allow me to post it. :D

Well, people believe in various things. Not all are true.

Logical arguments cannot be different. They are illogical except for one. "Satyam eva jayate, na anritam" (Truth alone wins, not untruth). You are correct. The clash between truth and falsehood is eternal.
