David , I would be more impressed if you had brought up the contradiction of the caste system within Hinduism as a critical flaw ...and the "untouchables". please don;t insult my inteligence or yours by bringing Hitler into this discussion of the one great world religion ,that somehow is never mentioned.... But Buddha , who was a Hindu , tried to correct that institution of the caste system , so long ago. The King Asoka was one of the most enlightened of all the kings of ancient times...see H G Wells a short history of the world . He was a reformer too...and if you really want to know where the miracle of walking on the water came from it was from Buddhism and the miracles of Buddha...they were stolen and added to the Bible from Buddhism . 500yrs before Jesus . As for Hitler or whatever point your making , just point to a period in history where the Hindus rose up and attempted world domination and terror? India was old when Christianity was young . They invented non-killing and some of the most precious theological ideas of mankind. That's just who they are . sorry , but please get your facts straight and study more... before you break out the whips. mars PS: Does it ever dawn on you , that at the same time in human history , you have Aristotle in Greece , Buddha in India , and LaoTzu in China all speaking with a similar voice and time in human history ? just a coincidence ?

"A set of religious beliefs is either true or false. Can't be both." It seems to me that we have basically 3 types of people in the world. Those that know, those that don't know (believers), and those that just don't care one way or the other. Your statement only applies to the middle group here. How does someone who doesn't know (believes) discern the truth or falseness of what someone else doesn't know (believes). I have never been able to figure that out.
