In my opinion the Hindu trinity is simply using different labels to describe the same concepts.
I'd be happy to continue discussing this in a U2U since I think we're taking this thread a bit off topic.

Sure, but they are my reasons, not someone else's. Being the master of your own purpose is not a burden.

I have no reason to believe any aspect of myself with survive my death, other than the matter I am composed of.

A couple things about the bible. The old testament was written by the jews while in exile in babylonia. Most of the stories of the old testament were old tales from previous civialaztions that the jews heard and wrote down. Which is the torah or old testament. The new testament was written after Jesus was killed. So actually it wasnt the word of god at all just people writing tales they thought had god's hand in the stories.

That's pretty deep. It's a wonder you haven't written your own holy book.

Do you consider slavery and constant warfare to be good ways to live? What about polygamy and child sacrifice? These are depicted in a positive light in the Bible.

why haven't any more writings been canonized? I mean, surely there are good and pious men who sincerely believe that their message has been inspired by G-d that have lived in more recent years. I don't think most people who strongly believe in the Bible would agree that G-d just quit talking to us somewhere in the 4th century. Do they?
