I have a hard time believing that Hinduism can be considered a religion. With all of the gods and without a structured organization, how can an individual firmly place his faith in anything. It seems too ambiguous. I find it difficult to believe that suffering is life. I think the opposite. I find life very enjoyable. I think suffering comes from poor choices and lack of faith in God. Life is what we make of it.

I believe that society has conditioned us that doing whatever we want or feels good is the acceptable way to live. In today's culture, there is no accountability for our actions. If we are caught in a compromising situation we can claim victim status. Look at the Professor Gates controversy in Cambridge, MA. Even President Obama believes that its a racial situation and not one of personal responsibility.
