Are atheists being more illogical than agnostics?

Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss Hindu ideas about the creation of the universe.

I doubt that. This joker is claiming that his theistic beliefs, which are clearly based on his interpretation of Hinduism, are universal.

He quickly descended into vicious personal reflections when challenged. He has also shown a marked selection bias and selectivity in historical and cultural references. I doubt that that constitutes the subject of your BBC program.

Carnatic does not solely refer to a musical style. The point is that this is evidence of your selection bias.

I cannot help thinking of all these words carn related:

So you allege that when someone refers to one of the Carnatic wars, they mean a dispute about musical styles carried out with firearms?

Nothing amuses me more than seeing some dip who knows nothing about the world outside his narrow orbit attempting to make universal claims about religion, politics, history, etc.

total number of hindus/muslims/buddhists combined in the world significantly outweigh christians. all their philosophies ultimately boil down to a single unified 'god', which is defined as everything in existence. hindus call it brahman, muslims call it allah, buddhists call it buddhahood or enlightenment.

The pint, which you sedulously avoid is that you identify yourself as very likely Indian with your screen name--and you have demonstrated that the assessment is accurate.

You most certainly did make a universal claim. You stated that all religions were pretty much alike, that theists all believed in the same god and identified that god with the universe.
