Nov 28: Interfaith discussion

We had a really interesting, lively, informative and friendly discussion touching on many different topics including the following:
1. Perspectives on food: Vegetarianism and different religions perspectives on whether it is ok to eat animals and which animals and also how they are killed in Jewish Kosher tradition, for example.
2. Perspectives on reincarnation (Buddhist/Hindu) and life after death as per the Buddhist, Christian and Jewish views
3. Perspectives on God and what is nature of being human, what is good and evil, what happens to sinners, what is karma theory, what is eternal vs created and destroyed, the diferent concepts of Trinity in Hinduism and Christianity
4. Worshipping idols and perspectives on what is really meant by idol worship
