I don't think the writer or either of the quoted professors has heard of New Thought (it tends to be a well-kept secret), but if they had, they'd realize that the article describes New Thought fairly well.
Beef - It’s what’s for dinner!
(Hindu, my ass!)
Someone should tell Fareed Zakaria that I’m guilty of flushing Newsweak down the toilet.
I like steak.
This is a slick redirection of attention away from the massive Muslim population increase that’s been documented by many serious researchers, including Mark Steyn.
Hinduism is being used here as the hit piece/straw man in a cynical ploy to divert awareness of the increasing number of Muslims in America, and their growing violations of American cultural proprieties, up to and including covering women, the public broadcasting of daily calls to prayer, the protection of bigamy, and pushes for Sharia law (which are already being “voluntarily” accomodated in banking and other areas).
And underneath the specious argument that Hinduism is somehow being assimilated in various ways, is the insinuated meme that all religions are being similarly assimilated - including Islam. Of course, the fact that Islam is not voluntary and bars recognition or acceptance of any other religion, on pain of death, is conveniently left out of this warm and fuzzy liberal programming piece.
Actually, it became monotheistic in its evolution...
How many of the 76% identifying themselves as Christian are like me, that is, clearly a product of my Judeo-Christian culture, grew up in the church (choir boy even), but haven’t seen the inside of a church but once in the last dozen or so years (to make sure my bipolar mom didn’t cause a scene), and have not accepted Jesus Christ as my lord and savior.
When asked, I do ID myself as a Christian, as there is no option on most of those surveys for being agnostic.
That would make me, and a ton of others (presumably) as Christians in name only.
When the media and lefties (excuse my redundancy) say that “America is not a Christian nation” it’s really wishful thinking. They want us to not be a Christian nation.
It is, of course, not Hinduism. More like Gnosticism.
Oh yes...some are becoming more hindu than others HEHE!!
