[Cronos]

Well then tell me, what do you think is the definition of Hinduism or what constitutes a Hindu?

For what purpose Cronos?... It is not the definition of Hinduism that is being discussed, rather the statements made concerning the mainline religions uniting...which will include the World Council of Churches, The Catholic Church and the Eastern Religions.... To dissect them means nothing at all in the broader picture. That's like taking every American village and cities to determine what nationality each is composed of, and then break these down to individual opinions.

This is the other point I am trying to make....posting volumes of information from other authors literature leads to dissecting every word not to mention the source and author themselves. Thus the topic, which might otherwise prove interesting for all gets lost in all the unnecessary details. It becomes a match for those who desire to showcase their intellect and or their personal library, which is simply ego building for those who need to feel significant but might very well have no opinion of their own.

So no, I will not define Hinduism or any other religion to those who are likely very much in the know of what these are enough to form their own opinion of the differences in these religions.
