Re: Purging myself of Abrahamism
Having deeply practiced christianity, changing to Hinduism will be a challange, but we must encourage & support.
I think those westerners who have always been sort of 'drifters' and disconnected from the religion of their society would find it most easy to adapt to hinduism. There are many people who fall in this category, but fortunately or unfortunately they are least interested in any religion, including Hinduism. However, I think in this forum we have a few westerners who were never mentally or emotionally into Christianity, even though it sarrounded them -- and it seems it has been quite easy for them. my observations ofcourse.
But most of the converts to Hinduism or Buddhism are past Chirstians and probably still carrying the hangover. It is a difficult situation for both parties - and perhaves as EM has suggested will take a long and painful period, may be more than one lifetime to be free from past influences.
