well, could you be clear then to tell us as to when exactly should we characterize something as being hindu?.
I am not in the "characterization" business. You are. Don't blame me for your limited intellect and failure to come up with a "rational" framework to "characterize". My job is point and ridicule your "rational methodology" to malign an entire community with 1) microscopic sample, and 2) without ascertaining the motivations and knowledge of this limited sample.cavarka9 wrote: Does someone being a hindu and claiming to speak on behalf of it not be enough to characterize so, atleast preliminarily?
No.
Can I tomorrow convert to islam and spout nonsense on its behalf and would the world buy that?
thanks, you have explained yourself and more importantly demonstrated something which I see in Hindus,
no institution = no blame!.
epepke has added something very important by pointing to "maintaining the fiction". someone should enter that in wiki argument tricks list.
So essentially you've got nothing to say on the merits of the argument. All you're capable of is to take a little sample (random and unscientific) and draw conclusions based on that. Because clearly that's how "rationalists" roll?
