Yes, Hindus. Go ask a Hindu. Or check Wikipedia. Or read von Glasenapp, Zimmer, Schumann, or any English equivalent.

Do not just sit there on your high horse, non-correcting me, ride it into town and get some books to learn about your own religion.

I will ask this again as you appear to be evading the difficult questions you have no rational answer for.

Only if you think you are an isolated being would you think the suffering the child endures is his alone. It is not. We are one soul, one spirit, divided by bodies that are unreal.
The consequences of actions against Dharma will bear fruit. But by cosmic time, which is not same as sun up to sun down. The atrocities of the past will bear fruit, but not according to our sense of time and place. Only acts of kindness and compassion will mitigate the suffering we all are bound to endure. This is the reason all religions teach kindness and compassion above all else.

So you know zilch. When you make claims you know nothing about provide a source and a credible link.
But that is ok. Hinduism is huge, an encyclopedia by itself. Even Hindus only know the small piece they practice and they dont care what ‘ism it is. Only atheists seem obsessed with naming it. Hindus simply live it. This is the reason Vedanta teaches knowledge as supreme. Not wikipedia.

Because I corrected you with something you did not know, that Hinduism is a complex system with different theological beliefs?

When ...

Instead of preaching what you are usually guilty of, practice it.

Also, I gave you three German names because I do not know any English writers on Hinduism. I presume you can Google actual experts if you want to learn for your self.

You are not an atheist, you claimed Hinduism is monist, remember?

OK, then ask another Hindu. One who knows more than you.

Remember, Atheist desire to be free to practice their non-belief. You are getting some type of bonus on how to believe correctly.

Yes. Atheists have all the answers. Even when they don’t they believe it to existence. Faith maybe.

I thought you had that status to be facetious and snarky.

To me, no one has "all the answers" (definitely including myself). Even the best of groups seem to lack a majority of answers. The power of one and the individual is significant, but no group. Oh well.

This thread has gotten ridiculous. Time to close.
