My dad has been a pretty devout Hindu since long before I was born. He actively does Puja every morning, which is essentially prayer/worship, and it usually lasts over an hour. Super chill guy, not a crazy hippy, has a regular business job, and doesn't really do it for show at all. But he goes to a group of (mostly) white people who are nearly the same way. Anyone else raised like this?

Yep, raised by a Hindu/ Buddhist dad who was chief psychiatrist at a psychiatric hospital and whiter than white can be. Taught me Yoga and Sanskrit as a kid, but I left it all behind after he died when I was 9. edit: he was mostly Buddhist, but he paid respect to a lot of Hindu gods, mainly Krishna, Ganesh, Shiva.

He's Hindu through and through, I don't think there's any Buddhism. He's been to India multiple times, and has had a few gurus. Right now he's into Meher Baba.

My dad identifies as a "Wikipedia Buddhist", which is to say he's read a few summaries about it on the Internet and thought they sounded vaguely interesting but knows better than to pursue things any further.

He was vegetarian for a while, then he stopped, then started back up again a few years ago. Falun Bong Refugee posted:All the major religions are from Asia you dummy. Yes, we're talking about the areas in which the religions are most prominent in the present day. Eastern religions usually means Non-Abrahamic systems of belief. Here's a wikipedia article about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_religions

My argument isn't that anthropologists are not idiots that wasted money on a useless degree, it's that white people are dumb including you.

my mother is part of this loving crazy cult sounding gibberish called eckankar that tries to claim it's an ancient thing started in the east. some rear end in a top hat named paul started a money-grub to take advantage of hippies like a lot of other american "gurus" back then. i went to "satsang" once a month as a little kid, basically worship service, they had a decent youth group. it's bizarre rear end poo poo to think about now that i had anything to do with it, but most of the people i knew were super nice and cool, so they weren't hurting anyone, its just like "this obviously was a con started in the 60's, how did any of you not realize wtf was going on after you sobered up for 10 minutes?" its just a dumb mix of christianity and buddhism, simplified, complete with its own version of saints (eck leaders) and sexist practices

My dad is Catholic and my Southern Baptist mom thinks its the same as Hindu. She was crushed the day we finally convinced her that if she cared about what was in the bible she should probably be Eastern Orthodox

a hole-y ghost posted:Does the dad like to rape. Does your dad like to rape, OP? I ask because GBS threads lead me to believe that indians like to rape and hindu is the indian religion. indians really really really like to rape, like probably even more than the muslims do, and the muslims straight up keep child sex slaves. its hosed up dude

Wait, isn't hinduism the religion you can't convert to? because if fate/dharma had wanted you to be hindu you'd have been born hindu so converting is to go against the basic principles of hinduism* or something. Maybe I'm remembering wrong. *Not that "christians" follow the basics priciples of anything Christ said...
