LOL you're right.

Although, I'm just curious.....did anyone say that Hinduism conguered most of the planet? I don't see that anywhere here (although I didn't check out the links provided all that thoroughly)....just wondering what you're referencing?

Thanks

That's why a Christian goes to India and thinks, "They must all be the same," whereas an Indian going to America doesn't think, "Islam and Judaism are just different kinds of Jordanism."

Christianity and Islam dominated the planet for a time, in a larger area than "Hinduism", and more recently. That helps people keep it separate in their minds.

OH, I get it. That's what you mean.

Thanks
