Yeah, a bit from that. Because of the training I got, I question before I believe. Is that not a valid statement? Why should I listen to a rant about God and waste my time unless you can show some evidence? No cleverness. It is a straight answer. If it is not going to happen, then I remain an...

Yeah, you would do that because you have no evidence other than what a 19th Century uneducated Iranian said. 'Love and unity, working together as one humanity' is a pipe dream, far removed from reality.

Of people too. We have a full-fledged sciences for that, Psychology, Anthropology, Sociology. Give us the evidence that there is anything other than the material world. I don't use these words, because what is material can also be immaterial too (E=mc^2).

Where is the difference between Abrahamic religions other than the name of the person who propounded it? Otherwise, they have the rules which were always there in every society (Ten Commandments 5-10). Of course, Hinduism is different. That is where you have differences, from worshiping many...

"Scientific evidence is evidence that serves to either support or counter a scientific theory or hypothesis, although scientists also use evidence in other ways, such as when applying theories to practical problems. Such evidence is expected to be empirical evidence and interpretable in...

Science recognizes only what has evidence. Show us the evidence that there is something outside the empirical.

The basic difference between theists and atheists. :D

I have mentioned it hundreds of times, no verifiable evidence. It is as simple as that.

I do not know about your religion or beliefs. I too have my own ways in Hinduism (since I am a strong atheist), but that is strictly for me. I do not need a community. I have no interest in changing the world. That is a futile, utopian exercise. I regularly check my beliefs vis-a-vis science.

If it is God, then it is not given. It is a door to superstition. Theist religions, from the kettle, into the pot. Does not make any difference.

That is your view. Others may differ. That is unfortunate - no science?

People have different views. To me, it is a giant fraud from before the time of Akhenaten and Zoroaster.

Not just to Mohammad, but to Bahaollah and Mirza Ghulam Ahmad too (and many others whom you can find on Wikipedia lists of claims of being Gods, Jesuses, messengers, manifestations, mahdis, prophets). As I said it is a continuing scheme. There will be more in future. Simple, they had desires...

So, seems everything is OK. Cataract operation, perhaps the easiest of all operations, took just one minute and just one small cut, before the days of laser. My father used to perform it on a go in small-town government hospitals. After operation care is essential.

The crush also is an illusion. What is crushed? Any atom, any molecule? You are tied to your body. Free yourself.

What historical evidence? Allah made Muhammad win at Badr? It is more like a continuing scheme.

It is not. I have mentioned the words in Hinduism relating to purpose, the process of its achievement, and the aftermath. No spirit / soul or God in this.

'dhārayeti iti dharati' - One which bears is 'dharati', 'dharaṇi' - one who is the strength of the family (wife). 'dhārayet iti dharmaḥ' - what should be adhered to or held is 'dharma' That is how words are formed in Sanskrit or illustrating the formation of a word.

Siddhi: or just achievement of one's purpose. Siddha: One who has achieved his purpose (whatever it may be). Sadhya: The purpose which is to be achieved. Sadhan: Process or tool used to attain Sadhya. Root: dha, 'dhakara' as it is known in Sanskrit, same which forms 'dharma' or 'dharati' (Earth).

I ditto TheLightWithin. Take your time. Don't rush back to internet. We will wait. (might need a cataract operation myself sometime soon)
