What I have been trying to accomplish is two-fold. First, I was trying to get people to reconsider the fact that most people think that all people that believe in a god (notice that I didn't use the word religion) are something other than somebody who believes in a god. I am not going to think anything about you not believing in a god. My mission in life is to love, not to condemn. I was just assuming that somebody would come in here with an open mind and maybe consider my point, which some of you have done. Some of you, however have put me off as having a skewed vision of the world, or just being some devout asshole that knocks on peoples doors at six in the morning, having no idea why I believe what I do. I am, however somebody who questions everyday my beliefs. Second, I wanted to make you think about intolerance.
spindles, when you said "Thou shalt have no gods before me," you are suggesting that in Hinduism, you have to worship a god or gods. This is not true. You don't even have to recognize that there is a god, none the less worship one. So I insert God into a Hinddu situation, and go down the path of love in order to get to enlightenment.
