"BTW, the religion you adhere to falls into the same category as you list Christianity. "
haha! obviously. hinduism has a full scape of all beliefs. we also believe that you can attain salvation and not believe in God. but what is God? i think our definitions differ. what i believe in just falls under hinduism. so therefore im labeled hindu. or follow Sanatana Dharma.
i dont know about the whole possessed thing. i mean, im quite sure people do get possessed by evil spirits. but on the other hand, most cases of possession are perhaps only mental cases.
not all possessions have fireworks, so you kno, mike phelps could be possessed. but why??? it makes no sense just to randomly point figers and judge. i mean, just look at mccarthyism and the salem witch trials.
peace!
