My purpose in bringing up the Bhagavad Gita (which I have studied for more than 30 years, along with many other of the Vedic literatures) was to point out the universality of religion-based morality. This hints at the existence of one Supreme Godhead, as you mentioned, revealing more or less of His personality and will through the differing religions and holy books of the world.

The basic moral tenets of all monotheistic religions are all very similar if not almost exactly the same in most particulars, and if more people followed these tenets, we then would have time to discuss theology in peace.

I am more interested in influencing the atheists, hedonists, moral relativists and homosexual advocates of the world to become theists, and start living according to basic religious principles, than trying to debate "which religion is best".

There are two religions in the world. On the one side are those who worship God, the transcendent Supreme Person, to the best of their ability and understanding. On the other side are those who worship, with lust and the desire to be supreme, that which is not transcendent. In other words, some worship God, and some worship His creation, ignoring Him, and trying to imitate His position of Lordship. And if that side becomes the dominant force in the world (looks like it now), the world is the loser.

(By the way, the word "Hindu" does not appear in the Vedas, it is a term invented by Moslem invaders to describe the inhabitants of greater India who lived across the Sindhu River. And Bhagavan Krishna was never "enlightened", or claimed to be. Krishna is a name which means "the all-attractive Godhead".)
