kkk? what the fuck?
the internet, I don’t give half a shit about.
Real people, not "0"s and "1"s,
matter to me.
Yes, we have gotten off topic.
Worship of the self was the original point.
Hindus are more concerned with self satisfaction,
rather then conforming to texts designed for "law" .
When I say I've experienced first hand,
I’m not saying I’m any better or smarter then you.
Well, maybe a little bit.
Anyways,
What I've been trying to say
is that living with them, understand each person-to-person contact,
is much different then studying texts in-depth.
I must say, you have an excellent knowledge of the technical aspect,
but the spirit of the belief is much different. the personal interface that i experienced,
with India,
shows me that the written word
and the practice
are much different.
I used to think the technical, written word was the standard,
but when you are actually there, in the Mecca of it all,
you see how people really have a general naturalization to the practices.
It's similar, in a weird way, to war (the most cliched example of all time)
Reading about it is alot different then experiencing it.
You seem very devoted to this. You actually should take a trip to India one day,
and you’ll see what I mean.

What you're trying to say here is that I have knowledge of TRADITIONAL, real (UNCORRUPTED VEDIC) hinduism, and you have knowledge of the "corrupted" modern day hindu person who has been influenced by the west. Alright, I think I get your point.

Hilarious though that your entire argument this point has been more against yourself than me. Good job.

Again, one of my best friends is an ayurvedic practicioner, and I've attended temples/festivals with them before - in fact I attended new years and all those other festivals last year. I know what indians are like. However, my indian friend also had an enforced marriage. how's that for not conforming to laws?
The purpose of the laws is to build a society you can enjoy. That's the social aspect of it. There's also a political nature to it, and religous, and philosophical. "Worshipping of the self" and "Satanism" are forms of philosophy.

Oh really is that why there was a strictly enforced caste system for thousands of years? yes, that must be why. All those shudras loved their positions. Also enforced marriage etc. am i right?

I guess. I'm talking about philosophy, you're talking about the way people socialize. shut the fuck up.
