Hinduism posits not only that creation is an illusion (maya), but that it was intentionally created to BE an illusion.

The Judeo-Christian understanding is very much the opposite. That God created the heavens and earth and that they display his glory.

Hinduism posits that human beings achieve salvation (moksha) through self-realization that we are god.

Again, Judeo-Christian understanding is very much the opposite. That mankind is not God and is God’s creation, and salvation comes through his holy covenants with mankind.

“It is like those people who romanticize villages in the developing world. Nobody who ever lived in one would do that.”

Hillary, hear that?

Does not jive with what is actually happening right now which is that India is more capitalist right now than ever since becoming independent in 1947.

And the world’s largest democracy has much more secure elections in that in India you can not vote without the voter ID card issued by central government with photo of voter. I am not sure if Dominion software is used there.
