Since you brought up Chesterton, here’s Chesterton on Hinduism’s propensity to lead to socialism. Religion matters. Worldview matters. Our deepest, most core beliefs obviously matter.
Perhaps Vivek has escaped some of the ills that plague Hinduism, but his deepest core beliefs will always pose a danger to his secondary beliefs and actions. You wouldn’t deny this is true for a Muslim. Let’s be consistent.
Anyway, here’s Chesterton:
“It seems to me not impossible that the more impersonal and indefinite doctrines of Asia do form a soil for Bolshevism. Most of the eastern philosophy differs from the western theology in refusing to draw the line anywhere; and it would be a highly probable perversion of that instinct to refuse to draw the line between meum and tuum.
I do not think the Indian gentleman is any judge of whether we in the West want to have a hedge round our fields or a wall round our gardens. And as I happen to hold that the very highest human thought and art consists almost entirely in drawing the line somewhere, though not in drawing it anywhere, I am completely confident that in this the western tendency is right and the eastern tendency is wrong.”
@JAndrewLauer@manueloyervidez@terahashmining1 That's a literal translation of Yahweh. Christ claims He ate with Abraham and declared "I am". By denying His divinity the Pharisees declare themselves to be antichrist adopted by Satan-1 John 2:23. Christ Himself taught in parables not literalisms as prophesied in Psalm 78:2
@JAndrewLauer@manueloyervidez@terahashmining1 Yahweh means "I am". In John 8:58 Christ uses the title for Himself when questioned if He saw Abraham which is why the Pharisees throw stones at Him. Any physical manifestation of Yahweh in the OT is the eternal, preincarnate Christ
