Isiolastic Religions

[OleMarxco]

Let's f.eg take Buddhism and Hinduism. While the latter may be oppressive with a castè system of whose on top and at bottom (i.e. a class system by both law and religion, not only capital! This thrives under Capitalism, doesn't it, huh?) the first is isolating itself in monastaries practicing Zen and Kung Fu, the second is only to those who are born within it and no -outside of religion- missionary is being done, so everyone is descandent from the first founder of Hinduism, in fact (not any God, of course!)....

So what shall we do about all these "isolating" religions who "doesn&#39;t bother anyone" except perhaps Buddhistic priests who heal wounded people? I just still don&#39;t &#39;trust &#39;em, with all that "karma" bullshit personally, imposing morals on someone trough a "relieve" and "Nirvana" complex, where the "evil criminals" gets reborn as something worse and the "benevolent good" gets reborn as something better <_<

The problem with Hinduism is that it allows people to accept ineqaulity as condition that is self-imposed. It allows people not only to accept division, but defend it as a divine truth.
Buddhism, does the same thing, however it tries to conquer suffering through meditation and the abandonment of the material world. "The source of all suffering is desire", I think the Dahli Llama said that or maybe fat buddah.

But then again, nothing can be achieved without desire. It&#39;s a sort of catch 22.

You&#39;ll be surprised to hear that the caste system is in fact a later addition to Hinduism by Aryan invaders of India in order to keep the strange brown Dravidic people down.

None of the many Hindu scriptures advocate enforcement of the caste system.

But as to religions that do not prosletyse, well there is little that can be done. Such religions survive or perish according to their merits, but without a doubt any faith can be abused to fit one&#39;s own ends.
