Why aren't more black people interested in Eastern Religions?

[Turk]

The name can be translated many ways, black, dark, beautiful… so the meaning of his name means nothing. How the people who worship him describe him his more valid to me.

It can be translated multiple ways but yet he's depicted as being black?

You haven't corrected me yet.

I'm quite sure Hinduism is based on many racist beliefs including their caste system.

Not in India, only Hindu people follow their "varna" system.

False.

There's one correction

They're big on karma and believe that being born dark skinned means you were evil in your past life

Being born with dark skin is not a curse..that is a flat out lie. Krishna who is one of the most popular Hindu deities is black, along with Kali.

There's another. All this started because that false claim. Dark skin being evil but they have Gods with dark skin?

You're giving opinion and I'm giving you quotes from divine Hindu scholars and spuritual books. fukk outta here.

The word Krishna meaning Sanskrit is my opinion?
Black depictions of Krishna are my opinion?
Krishna being worshiped while being depicted as black is my opinion?

Spoiler: Murti

Show me proof like you're telling others or miss me with your bullshyt because I can find FAR more paintings of him with blue skin than you can black.

I've already shown you my proof and from the onset of this argument I stated that Krishna is depicted as both black and blue.

Krishna is depicted as both black and blue.

It's more than a drug bro..it opens your potential mind up

Changing your experience doesn't change anything about the physicality of the reality you're in.

I'm saying there's no point in knowing how atoms work if there's no reason (the "why")to know that.


Ultimately, this is where science is always going to leave you wanting. There's no point to it all, besides maybe extending your meaningless existence.


Just like when religious people ignore the "how," atheists ignore the "why" and both of your philosophies are incomplete.

Well we can' talk about nihilism if you want, but you're still asking the wrong question.

Science investigates claims and finds evidence to them.

Science can't tell you the best system of government or how to treat your mother.

What's the reason for the claims?

What's the reason for the claims?

Whatever question the person asks or discovers.

Sitting around asking "whats the meaning of life" is less important than asking "how life works" because in understand how life works, you answer the "meaning" (such a terrible term in this case) of life.

 

[HoloGraphic]

Why do you need to be "something?"

This is what I don't get.

Follow the lifestyle if you want..but why toss your rationality to the wind by adopting superstition thats unproven, unsubstantiated, or flat out wrong?

Wtf are you talking about?

You know nothing of how I live my life or what I believe specifically. Don't lecture me.

You don't know what you adopted either, apparently.

How so?

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

How so?

Because its a vague question devoid of any actual constructive direction...and ultimately a desire to arrive as a moral way to live thats objective.

Science can't answer moral questions, only how matter works.

Enlighten me.

Tell me what I do and don't believe and which specific practices I do and do not partake in and then set me on the right path.

The daily patterns of behavior you follow are one thing, the adoption of supernatural ideas is completely unacceptable though.

Science is only half the story then?

You tell me. You thought it was necessary to be a "daoist" instead of just "living your life"

I really gotta get you to understand that accepting the term means you commit to something you think holds some sort of external legitimacy.

To answer the OP's question: Africans practiced the 'root' of all religions......
