I don't think so..yet the Hindhu's believe such nonsense,some even think that rats are Divine.

When you pass over to the other side,the truth will be revealed to you..and you can make your choice then..if you choose to ignore the Hand of God,in both your creation,your children's creation and the universe..then that's your choice..but I don't see how anyone who smokes weed,can't believe that only a loving God..could have created such for our use.

Have a good one....
I don't believe anything created me or my world. I am, as the world just is.

Is that too bleak for religious folk? I don't think it's bleak at all. I think it's rather beautiful. I think it leaves the path open for the unhindered development of our consciousness and the understanding of our world. Religions inevitably place limits and boundaries on what we should and shouldn't know, on what we're allowed to see.

But I think what you wrote about Hinduism is quite offensive. But then again, I think what you wrote about Christianity is offensive as well, because it's not real Christianity... But that's another debate for another day. All life is sacred in Hinduism, which is itself quite a nice notion. They believe all life is sacred because of reincarnation, and in your next life you could be absolutely anything... so why harm something that might have been a departed loved one in a previous life? I'm sure to you it seems ridiculous that someone's grand daddy is a cow today, but I'm sure to a lot Hindus Christians believing in creationism is just as stupid...
