    Because older doesn't mean better.

    Besides it is not the oldest religion.

    The oldest religion is the nature of man.

    Hinduism is the oldest practiced religion today this is historical fact


    People have complained other religions have been used to enslave people yet Hinduism has never did this


    Hinduism is also the only religion outta the other major religions like CHristianity & Judasism where ? is actually black, Krishna literally means black


    Hinduism is the most similar religion to the ancient African spirituality more similar then the other major religions practiced today

    I know alot of people who practice Islam who say they dont follow Hinduism because it talks to much of flying spaceships and things like it and that to them makes it seem like a story.

    Personally I dont follow Hinduism or any other religion because its all ? . If I felt like worshipping something with talking bushes, talkin reptiles, spaceships, dead people coming back to life, guys with magical power, etc... I would just watch a show on Nickelodean. Much more exciting and alot less time consuming.

    Hindus practice caste system based on race and other things that have nothing to do with merit. Besides I don't give a ? if it is the oldest practiced religion. Is it good for me. I would be a worker or the untouchable class, Based on my skin color. That is why you ? 's come to the hood and treat black people like ? because it is ingrained in you.

    Hindus ? and ? Muslims in India on the regular.

    Even that fake ass ? Ghandi was a racist.

    Sorry honey, I'll pass.

    I'm in the process of reading volumes 1 & 2 of Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, then onto the Bhagavad-gita, then the Krsna-kathas.

    Caste system has nothing to do with race what so ever, you guys can't speak on something you know nothing about, it is strictly social status nothing to do with skin colour at all and Hindu scriptures do not even mention the caste system


    But it's a fact Hindus have never enslaved anyone or tried to conquer other nations


    Krishna is still the only ? outta the major religions practiced today that is credited as being black


    The Vedas are the oldest scriptures


    No one has been forced to convert to Hinduism


    It's quit shocking that certain people can disrespect a religion that is so clean cut

    The Hindu scriptures may not teach a caste system, but the Hindu people sure practice it. Any religion that operates on a social caste system and not a meritocracy is unfuckwittable in my book.

    And yes Hindu Majorities in India ? , pillage, and murder Muslim communities on the regular and have been doin so for over a thousand years. And we don't give a ? , if the Veda is the oldest scriptures, older does not mean better. Besides, it is not. The Egyptian Heiroglphics predate Vedas by a couple thousand years.

    If you want to big up your faith start with the principles contained therein. Sweeping, outlandish statements and generalities are not the way to go.

    I believe you (or I for that matter) don't have the right to say what is "better". It Hinduism is true, then it's not just going to be because of some historical advantage.
