Subject: RE: BS: Theology question
As usual, LH, yea and nay. I resonate to a lot of the insights in Hinduism. Great wisdom and knowledge lie here and also in Buddhism and Zen which sprang from Hinduism. Theologically the Judeo/Christian view is that God is wholly "other" than His creation, i.e. He created ex nihilo, from no thing. Hindu tradition holds that God created from Himself, therefore God is in everything and everything is in God. THAT is pantheism. It's amazing what the debate boils down to at times. But these little distinctions make a big difference in the day to day and the development of cultures.

Even the religion of our time, Science, is seeking the ONE. It's called TOE, The Theory of Everything! Ain't it funny and doncha see the connection?
