If not God, who endows?

I had posted an excerpt from the Bhagavad-Gita above. Please read it, carefully.

If that is a source of morality outside the Judaic idea of God, then it implies that morality is not a monopoly of one religion alone. And according to the followers of the Judaic God, the Hindu one is a false, man-made one. The Hindus would say the same about the Judaic God too, although I'm not so sure about this. Basically one cancels out the other.

Interesting concept. I would say that an equivalent would be a debate between, say, Einstein, and an English major in Papua New Guinea.

Einstein would say that E=mc**2; the English major might say that E=turning on a light switch. In your example, the two would merely cancel out, regardless of the validity of one over the other.
