Thinking of Karma as a "hidden auditor" what wisdom for daily living. A hindu version of original sin, but one that gets WORSE the longer you exist through no fault of your own. Sounds like a great way to control an ancient people and to be okay with being a servant/slave in a caste system.
The more I learn about more religions the more apparent it is that they are basically all the same, for better and worse...

*Talks about incarnations of god as the Buddha, Jesus, and someone who became one with Allah and gave us the Kuran *
Really, you want to equate a paedophile who married a six year old and groomed her for statutory rapeat 9 or 10 years old as an example of an incarnations of god on earth reminding us what we've forgotten and how to live our lives? Odd choice but okay...

I don't care you think you're all Rama and no Kama, treating atheists as inferior and "amusing" while thinking you are superior to them shows how stunted you are mentally, what a defective personality you have, and your complete lack of good character.

Again the author shows the typical sanctimonious bias against atheists. "If you believe in yourself then you believe in god." Has to be one of the most absurd irrational arguments I have ever heard.
Counter-point:
"Do you believe love can exist without evidence or is it impossible to believe on faith alone?"
Faith needs evidence.
THEN YOU'RE AN ATHEIST HAHAHAHA Gotcha!
It is just as absurd of an argument.

"You see animals as a lower form of life it's not okay to eat but plants as a lower form of life it's okay to eat; I see all life as equal and I am not greater or lesser than another animal or plant, we are not the same."
You are no better than them, life eats life or life dies, it's that simple.
Whether you choose plants, animals, fish, bugs, it doesn't matter if you're really in tune with the "unity underlying all life" then plant, fish, or insect it doesn't matter, it is all life and they are all equal to each other, eating a plant is no different than eating a fish "All life is one."
"Although some biologists say that animals may not have any consciousness or emotions. We have to agree that as of yet we do not know what animals do or do not feel. In fact there may be some other mode for expressing their pain with which we are not acquainted,"
YES! And EXACTLY the same thing can be said of plants, that there may be some other mode for plants to express their pain with which we are not acquainted.
Meaning if you don't realize and recognize this then you are not as enlightened as you think, and so means that being vegetarian doesn't make you any better than non-vegetarians/meat-eaters.
If you haven't had that revelation yet, then you are still emotionally, mentally, and spiritually stunted having plateaued at "I don't eat meat because it harms animals."
Rather than having the revelation where you understand and accept "I have to eat life to life, even though that harms all other life."
