We Are All Hindus Now

Says Newsweek Magazine

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

An amazing article just came out in Newsweek

Magazine that is worthy of your attention.

We didn't expect to see an article like this in a

national magazine. Tthe article speaks for itself.

 

 

We Are All Hindus Now

America is not a Christian nation. We are, it is

true, a nation founded by Christians, and according to a 2008 survey, 76 percent

of us continue to identify as Christian (still, that's the lowest percentage in

American history).

 

Of course, we are not a Hindu—or Muslim, or

Jewish, or Wiccan—nation, either. A million-plus Hindus live in the United

States, a fraction of the billion who live on Earth. But recent poll data show

that conceptually, at least, we are slowly becoming more like Hindus and less

like traditional Christians in the ways we think about God, our selves, each

other, and eternity.

Health/Environment Economy More on What You Need to Know Now The Rig Veda, the

most ancient Hindu scripture, says this: " Truth is One, but the sages speak of

it by many names. "

 

A Hindu believes there are many paths to God.

Jesus is one way, the Qur'an is another, yoga practice is a third. None is

better than any other; all are equal. The most traditional, conservative

Christians have not been taught to think like this. They learn in Sunday school

that their religion is true, and others are false. Jesus said, " I am the way,

the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except through me. "

Americans are no longer buying it. According to a 2008 Pew Forum survey, 65

percent of us believe that " many religions can lead to eternal life " —including

37 percent of white evangelicals, the group most likely to believe that

salvation is theirs alone.
