Its only when one understands, that the material body is not the real person, that doing away with violent repeat offenders, is sensible and civilized, after all the real person is an eternal spiritual being, without beggining or end,,,,ive told you this before, arent you taking notes.

Originally posted by ThinkOfOneno you gave examples of Christianity because you have an axe to grind, indeed, if one looks through your posts in the past, one can readily see the same pattern. The question was specifically made with regard to Hinduism and how it relates to the perpetuation of, in my opinion and unjust system, please do not use it as a vehicle with which to project your own issues, that aside, you seem to be saying that there are branches of Hinduism which support in some type of degree the caste system and others that dont. Have you any specific examples of either.
Then maybe you need to do some more investigation into Hinduism.
You asked the following:How, if i may as be as bold to inquire, does one advocate Hinduism and yet attempt to explain the injustice of the caste system?
The answer is in the same way many advocate Christianity. I gave the example of Christianity simply because the hers. But as all flavors of Christianity are not the same, the same can be said of Hinduism.

In the last 100 years since he has propagated ISKON(International society for KRSNA conciousnesss)in the west.
I'd say he's done rather well.

Originally posted by vishvahetuSo whats the point? According to you, they'll just be back in another life, except this time we won't know who they are so we cant lock them up. Surely it is better to keep them in jail now rather than hasten their return?

Originally posted by vishvahetuYou just said a moment ago:
They dont come back as the same person
Originally posted by AThousandYoungno one deserves to be treated unjustly from cradle to the grave, trapped in a system, where no matter what personal efforts one puts forth, their worth has already been determined.
They deserved it and did it to themselves. Kinda like original sin.
Originally posted by vishvahetuAccording to reincarnation they can come back as animals.(Animals with truly horrible lives compared to their former human lives)
to TwhiteHead
They dont come back as the same person, where they left off, they take birth again, in a different family, with a different upbrining, and hopefully a different outlook.
