Too long, bunch of meaningless tripe. I got this far
One religion only, like one set of six fingers in the world, would be unnatural
and stopped reading.

I read until he said that Jesus believed in reincarnation. This person has made no attempt to actually understand what the Hebrew-Christian belief system is, and is not.(\__/) Save a bunny, eat more Smurf!

There are Christians (and probably Jews as well) who do beleive in reincarnation (or something similiar). But it is definitely a fringe beleif.

He understood quite well what the Judaeo-Christian system is. Please read the whole thing to understand that. In fact, he understood it better than most Christians do even now.Comment

The guy gave a logical explanation of the origins of monotheism, as seen in the rest of the world, and as seen in India, and how it was not acceptable to India. And it is one that actually makes sense.Originally posted by Nikolai

Not at all. He merely contemporizes with phrases from the Hebrew and Christian scriptures interpreted within his own beliefs.

But yet he fails to demonstrate a real understanding of what Christianity is, and therefore his rejection is one of bias against what he thinks it to be.

Ironically, many Medieval Christian theologians thought of other religions, especially those of Asia as resulting from nothing more than superstition (rather than divine providence).
The author of this article also seems to think in Medieval ways. In fact, his interpretation of Christianity is entirely limited to it. It's as if he never heard of the Renaisance and the Enlightenment. Although, if one sees the preaching of many American protestant churches, one can think that Christianity still remain so far in the past.
Anyway, it yet another aneeshm post from a source of extreme bias and ignorance.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

I have been seeing hundreds of pictures of the Last Supper of Jesus Christ, and he is made to sit at a table. Now, Christ never sat at a table; he squatted with others, and they had a bowl in which they dipped bread — not the kind of bread you eat today.
So our paintings don't look like the real scene? NO ****?In Soviet Russia, Fake borises YOU.Comment
