Hinduism shouldn't convert people, as it is against scripture, and as that would make it seem like hinduism is an organised religion, rather than a universal way of life/philosophy.

...that doesn't make any sense. At all. I can't quite figure out that process of thought in worshipping that religion's God but not converting.

Actually kind of leads into why I'd never be a member of a non-prosyletizing religion, it violates my logical standards. If something is true for me it must be true for everyone.

Roll Eyes That's stupid, you can try to have people agree with you and your religion, while not trying to get them to convert.

It's simple logic. There can't be laws of thermodynamics and gravity that only apply to certain people. Therefore if it's a fact that God exists and that one religion is the true revelation of God, that is a FACT. It is true for everyone. And if it's not true than said religion is utterly pointless.

Metaphysical statements cannot be "true" in the same way statements about the material world are "true" (which is not to say they're less true). I find it baffling that you can't comprehend this idea.

Uh, why? Either God exists or She doesn't.

Um, no? What type of person believes Jesus was the Son of God but isn't a Christian?

You really live in your fycking bubble don't you, any who, christianity and islam and all these monotheistic religion aren't the only religions in the world, you know.
