[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are Christian Hindus. Hinduism is not a real religion so you can be Hindu and Jewish or Hindu and Catholic [/quote]

What?? There are no Christian Hindus. There are Indian Christians and Indian Jews and Indian Catholics.[b] Hindu does not equal Indian.[/b][/quote]

There are over a billion Hindus in the world. Are you seriously saying the religion isn’t real? I hope you’re confused like pp suggests. [/quote]

Of course not. I’m saying you can’t be Christian and Hindu! They’re both major religions, and Hinduism is not a made up religion like that PP stated![/quote]

I worked with a man who actually is born in India and has a Catholic Saint first name (like John), his Hindu Dad was rich and Vain and wanted to Donate to his Temple but wanted his name on it. They really don’t do that. There was a Priest near his location who was trying to build something to help the poor. They said of course you can have your name on the building.  He became obsessed with Catholic Churches and the beauty of the buildings and how they are standing 1,000 years later and loved the legacy aspect. Well he not only built the building for poor he helped them build a beautiful Catholic Church. Then he went one further, he baptized his son and did the whole communion and confirmation. His son is nice, married a nice Hindu girl have three kids and they live in the DC area.

I was speaking to wife once, she talked religion. She knows I am Catholic and she was taking about story saying husband used to be Catholic. Anyhow I asked her I did not know there was a formal way to uncatholic yourself on your own. There is excommunication. She said no he just decided to do more Hindu things. The kids they like fun American things so I know they put up an Xmas tree, do Easter Egg hunt. His father is still alive and a Catholic and then while on vacation as a family they visited the church his Dad helped built and took pictures with Priest.

Is he Catholic? Is he Hindu? Is he both? [/quote]

I don't know why you're confused here.  He's Hindu.  There is no formal conversion process in Hinduism.  You don't need to un-whatever yourself first. His dad converted to put his name on a building. That doesn't mean the son is stuck to that faith for the rest of eternity. We don't have any issues going to a church and taking pictures.  Xmas trees and egg hunts are pretty ingrained as part of the American cultural fabric and people from lots of religions partake.

Gosh, all these anecdotal stores about the random "I went to lunch with/ or worked with a Hindu". Ya'll are experts now.
