Hinduism

Hinduism is the world's oldest extant religion, with a billion followers, which
makes it the world's third largest religion. Hinduism is assembly of religious,
philosophical, and cultural ideas and practices that originated in India,
characterized by the belief in reincarnation, one absolute being of multiple
manifestations, the law of cause and effect, following the path of justice, and
the desire for liberation from the cycle of births and deaths.


I did not post this, nor did I reply to it. But it seemed so simple.
Each religion seems to have such a long definition...
Sometimes simple is better. Throughout this class however,
I find Hinduism and Buddhism to be quite intriguing.
Although I have heard of them before, they share quite different views.
(From Christianity, Catholicism, Judaism, etc...)
