Dietary agreements/disagreements in Hinduism

[Sahasranama]

Do we really need to argue why we don't worship the abrahamic god? Why waste time with such irrelevant discussions?

That was my point earlier- there's a whole section in this forum for that. I don't know why one topic has to turn into everything Abraham just because it was start by a child of Abraham...

I must say, this is one of the reasons it's so unfortunate that there's 250 Christians and Muslims in the world for every Jew, because people start thinking our beliefs are the same as there's. I can tell you that's not true. I've said before that we do NOT believe in Hell. Abraham never believed in Hell. I posted this in another thread;

Well, I must say that's not my God either.

I think it's cowardly to tell someone you will go to Hell if you don't believe what they do. Eternal damnation is something you can't be shown wrong about. It happens in a far away plane of existence that no one can see. Jews believe that the good and evil are rewarded and punished right here on earth, in their daily lives, for all to see. I think that takes a bit more chutzpah to say, because it leaves you exposed for people to look at if it worked against you.

Jewish law has always accepted other people and religions, saying otherwise is just not true. To stay kind of relevant with the dietary concerns, here is what Jewish law says after talking about the kosher diet and all the things that cannot be eaten;

You may give it to the stranger who is in your cities, that he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner. (Deut 14:21)

@wundermonk, you know nothing about my people, so stop acting like you do.

I used to have AND still have a good deal of respect for Jews who I have met in my life [although Abrahamic theology/philosophy sucks]. I will not let that impression be poisoned by your attempts on Hindu Dharma Forums.

This way to the egress...

Wundermonk just talked about how he doesn't like the concept of Hell and eternal damnation and people having to believe what you do to be saved. And I agreed, and clarified that so I wouldn't be confused with such people. What's wrong with that?

@Wundermonk: what "attempts"? I feel like I'm being attacked just for my existence here. You're throwing a bunch of beliefs on my that I don't actually have.

I also don't like the concept of hell.

I also don't like people dying of hunger in developping countries.

I also don't like a bad economy or diseases like aids and cancer.

Line 1 is not so universally excepted as Line 2 and 3. Roughly half of the people in the world DO believe in Hell.

I said nothing about believe, but just because I don't like something, doesn't make it false. I don't like abrahamics posting on Hindu forums, but yet here you are.

I am lost for words. How rude you really are is quite astounding ...

Hindus arent used to such an exclusivist mindset which makes them hate everyone who does NOT follow the same path as they do towards the divine and rightfully find it abhorrent.

Any Hindu should not hate anyone.

Krishna has told us that anyone who is benevolent to all living entities is dear to Him.
