[quote=Anonymous][quote]I think you have reading comprehension issues. NO ONE has "[judged] Hinduism's validity as a religion." I NEVER said that Hinduism wasn't a "valid" religion. I also never said Hindus weren't Hindu. I said that there are different notions of what Hinduism means. And, yes, there are different notions of what Christianity means. The big difference is that Hinduism ALLOWS for difference within, which is what I believe I stated is part of what makes it dynamic. It ALLOWS for different paths -- some of which are more focused on deities; others that are more cerebral/philosophical.

I also never said Hinduism wasn't a religion. I said it was different from the monotheistic religions in that there is no central authoritative source.

Why is all of this relevant? Because you keep saying you can't separate yoga from Hinduism, but what I'm saying is that Hinduism has many paths. It's possible for someone to be an atheist and a yogi because there are paths in Hinduism that are not deity-focused. Advaita Vedanta is a good example of that.

I still think you and the other PP are unhinged, have misplaced anger, and are looking for outrage. You aren't interested in a conversation, because you read things into what people post.

Guess what? You don't own yoga. You also don't own Hinduism.

OP here. At first this crazy response baffled me because you pretty much just tried to backtrack, twist, and stubbornly misinterpret everything [i]you[/i] previously said, and I was going to write another essay. But you know what? Enjoy having the last word. At this point it's like I'm talking to walls.[/quote]
