Jesus , Krishna- which of the two is the supreme-god?

I'm curious too, as I hold no concept of blasphemy. Do you?

Nope!

Creation of new Gods or claiming messages from God like in Abrahamic religions.
"Bhagwan Shiva unke muhn se bolte hain". Why? If Lord Shiva has to say something then he would himself say so. Does he not have a mouth, and we, ears?
It is a direct connection to God in Hinduism and not through any mediator.

I don't see how that can be blasphemy to you. Blasphemy against what? You think all belief in God or deities is nonsense anyway, so how is it that such a particular set of ideas would be blasphemy?

Brahman as pure consciousness is there in everything, but if a publicly proclaimed atheist tries to enter a temple, I doubt whether the brahmins would grant him or her permission.

Say to any brahmin or priest of a well-established temple that you are an atheist and then try to enter it and you will find the position of orthodox hinduism in this regard.

Your perspective of Brahman as electrical energy is also incorrect as the vedas proclaim Brahman as pure consciousness.

If Brahman is indeed electrical energy, then the easiest way to connect with Brahman would be to get an electric shock, imo, not meditation.

Pure/primary Consciousness is of Brahman, we humans get consciousness/life from Him, He bestows it to us.

I can't speak for Aup, but my take is that blasphemy is all about internal coherence and responsibility of belief. Deities (or gods, since apparently some people differentiate between the two concepts) are there, as in so much else, of little consequence. Belief in deities, then, is not worth registering or seeking at all.

You and Aup are very different atheists.

Did I ever say that? They are not necessary for me. They are characters of mythology. But some people need the idea. They are not strong enough to stand alone or for their own reasons do not want to do that. I have never discouraged a theist.But when asked for what I consider truth, I have never hesitated. I am a Hindu. So, I speak against ideas that weaken Hinduism. Like creation of manifestations and Mahdis divide Islam, these new ideas will weaken Hinduism also. My favorite mantra is 'Guru ko maro goli' (Shoot the guru, when he/she goes against the unity of Hinduism). I do not like rainy season frogscroping up all around. People have their brains. They should think for themselves.

Fail - for the primary reason that you have not understood the a religion with vaious views can exist. I do not blame you, it is normal for a person from Abrahamic religions especially if he is not well-read. Your indoctrination comes from Quran and whatever Mirza Ghulam Ahmad wrote. As I told you earlier, your brain is incapable of understanding Hinduism or Buddhism.
'Guru ko maro goli' And its translation, please.
Shoot the false claimant who weaken a religion. I have explained it in my post but you do not get it. Another example of the capabilities of your brain.

"false claimant"

Please identify the word in the sentence "'Guru ko maro goli' " which one has translated as "false claimant".
Now I won't say that one has faked the meanings. One is a learned person.

"Shoot the guru, when he/she goes against the unity of Hinduism". I was talking about my religion. A person poses to be a religious leader and then says that he is a special recipient of a mission from God (I am this, I am that, God has sent me. God speaks through me). Such a person is basically a charlatan. He would harm his religion and should not be listened to.

Is it correct to belittle an inquirer in this manner !

Also what makes you think that you are capable of the same!

I have seen criticism levelled against you for your own faulty understanding of the Hindu religion, both in this and other forums too.

Paarsurrey has not made much insensible comments, if you ask me, based on my knowledge of the dharmic sects and any misunderstanding should be kept aside in the sidelines. Whether Krishna is an avatar or prophet , at least he is revered, and that is a positive in itself.

@ajay0 brother!
Thanks and regards for your open-mindedness, please.

For the simple reason that he is not an inquirer, he is a fault finder. He tries to be a proselytizer, something that he is not capable of doing. For him, Dr. Zaki Naik is a great religious philosopher.

Ajay, you're relatively new here. Aup and Paar both have over 10 000 posts, so they've been at this for quite awhile. Some of us other 'oldies' have read a lot of their words over substantial time, and have seen many repeat performances.

So you're not privy to all of that history, unless you're done a tonne of reading. I understand where you're coming from as perhaps I was once there myself. But if you try to explain something to somebody, watch others try to do the same, many many times, and you see no shift, there may be a tendency to let your frustration out occasionally. That is the nature of human discussion.

This applies to both Aup and Paar. Several others have debated Aup on about atheism and Hinduism, and several others have debated Paarsurrey about his Amadiyya lens from how he views the world. I've had the 'privilege' of watching and participating.

Not that you asked for it, but my advice would be not to waste your time. Both are inflappable in their convictions, but neither ever angers either.
