Is it just my impression, or do you not really care about your own religion at all? You’ve even committed blasphemy against it without noticing. But you seem to care a lot more when someone makes fun of Islam than when people criticize Christianity. Thousands of people mock Christianity and make deep insults toward it, yet many Christians don’t seem to react strongly or acknowledge it. This applies to you as well, because I’ve seen you defend Islam and speak against those who mock the Nabi Muhammad (S.A.W) far more than those who mock Jesus. I mean… that’s a bit too much.

You should be able to defend your own religion as well, not only Islam. I know you have Muslim friends, and that’s fine, but don’t prioritize pleasing them too much. It’s healthy to have boundaries in friendships, especially when people belong to different religions. That’s what I do with Timor, I defend Muslims occasionally, but not excessively like you do.

I’m not judging you; I’m just saying that you should have limits in friendships with people from different religions. A true friend respects you and your beliefs. If someone doesn’t respect your religion, then you don’t need to keep them in your close circle, because that can become toxic.

I heard that you’re planning to make an exposing video about that Hinduphobic Malaysian guy. I wanted to suggest making a bigger, more comprehensive video and putting everything together in one place. I won’t tag those Hinduphobic people by name because they might target me.

If you didn’t know, there are terms similar to "Islamophobia" but for other religions:

Christianity = Christianophobia
Hinduism = Hinduphobia
Sikhism = Sikhophobia
Buddhism = Buddhaphobia

Please look into the people who are spreading hateful or blasphemous content against different religions. Once you check it all out, you’ll understand what I mean:

"You must be faking being an ex-Sunni Muslim for attention and validation. You don’t even have any proof, yet you try to flex a fake personality that doesn’t even exist. You were Sanatani Hindu and always were. How ignorant you sound. 🙄"

Me: Hmpp… Yeah, I saw that, bro. And these pictures must be "fake" I guess…

(1st picture): From 2015 when I used to be a little kid
(2nd picture): The Qur’an and Surahs
(3rd picture): My bedroom in the past when I used to be a Sunni Muslim
(4th picture): The last mosque I visited before I quit and left Islam

Do I need this many proofs for you?

What's the difference between Abrahamic and Dharmic religions, and are they the same?

- Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Judaism, Islam) are faiths that trace their origins back to the prophet Abraham. They believe in one God, follow sacred scriptures, and share similar historical roots, even though their teachings and practices differ.

- Bhramatic (or Dharmic) religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism) are faiths that originated in the Indian subcontinent. They focus on concepts like karma, dharma, rebirth, spiritual growth, and inner peace. Even though each religion has its own teachings, they all share similar philosophies about life, the soul, and the path to enlightenment.

Why are people always complaining that Abrahamic and Bhmatic religions are the same thing? Please, be more educated and learn the difference between Abrahamic and Bhmatic religions. Not all religions are about Heaven and Hell (Afterlife), and people really need to understand that. We need more education about these differences? 🫥

A non-Hindustani: "The religion sounds nice, not going to lie, but I don’t see any valid or reasonable arguments for it which is exactly what I’m looking for. I already kind of understood Hinduism before, but I’ve never seen any solid reason that would make me live according to such a belief. Saying that it might be good for me or for society isn’t an argument about truth; it’s just an ideology.

Where does this philosophy actually come from? How can it be proven? For example, reincarnation doesn’t really make sense. At what point do we even define something as "alive"? And the concept seems to require that the same amount of living beings must always exist, which is factually not true.

It all sounds nice, sure but you shouldn’t accept something based on feelings alone. You should accept it because your mind finds it reasonable. 😯"

Let me give you a clear, intellectually honest breakdown. I won’t try to convince you that Hindu metaphysics is true, but I can show you where the philosophy comes from, what kind of reasoning it uses, how it thinks reincarnation makes sense, and what counts as “evidence” inside that framework so you can evaluate it on rational rather than emotional terms.

---

1. Where does this philosophy come from?

Hindu philosophical systems (the Darśanas) are not based primarily on myth or faith. They come from formal philosophical schools that developed through debate over ~2500 years:

The main orthodox philosophical schools:

Nyāya — Logic and epistemology

Vaiśeṣika — Atomism and metaphysics

Sāṅkhya — Dualism of consciousness and matter; analytic psychology

Yoga — Applied psychology/phenomenology

Mīmāṃsā — Hermeneutics and language theory

Vedānta — Metaphysics of consciousness

These schools argue with each other fiercely, sometimes contradicting each other completely. Hinduism is not one big belief, it’s a philosophical ecosystem.

Most of the metaphysical claims (including rebirth) come from Nyāya, Vedānta, and Sāṅkhya, using arguments that they considered rational, not revealed.

---

2. What counts as “proof” in these systems?

Ancient Indian philosophy uses explicit epistemology.

The Nyāya school defines 4 valid means of knowledge (pramāṇas):

1. Perception

2. Inference

3. Comparison/analogy

4. Testimony (expert, not arbitrary)

“Testimony” does not mean “believe scripture blindly.” It means:

> A statement is valid if it comes from a reliable expert source and is not contradicted by other means of knowledge.

This is similar to how we treat expert scientific testimony today.

So “proof” in this context is often inferential, not empirical, similar to how metaphysics or mathematics works.

---

3. Why reincarnation is proposed (the rational argument, not the mythic one)

Hindu philosophers never begin with “reincarnation is true because scripture says so.”
Their argument is basically this:

3.1. Consciousness behaves differently from matter

They argue that:

Matter is extended, divisible, measurable.

Consciousness is not.

Experiences are qualitatively different from physical properties.
This is similar to contemporary arguments about the hard problem of consciousness.

So they propose an immaterial conscious subject (ātman).

3.2. Mental continuity cannot be fully explained by the body

Their reasoning:

Personality, impressions, tendencies (saṃskāras) persist over time.

But the body and brain are constantly changing.

There must be a substrate that carries continuity through change.

Modern cognitive science disagrees here, but the argument is structurally similar to modern dualist or emergentist consciousness theories.

3.3. Causal explanation of psychological differences

This is where they make the move to reincarnation:

They argue:

People are born with vastly different psychological tendencies, talents, temperaments.

Genetic and environmental factors explain some but not all variation.

Therefore (they infer) there exist latent mental impressions carried from a previous life.

You may disagree, but this is an inference from observed psychological inequality, not myth.

3.4. Rebirth doesn’t require a fixed number of living beings

Your point: “Reincarnation implies a fixed number of living beings; that’s factually untrue.”

Hindu philosophers don’t define “living being” biologically.

They define it as a locus of consciousness.

So:

One consciousness stream → one living being

A single consciousness can inhabit any biological form

The number of biological organisms can increase or decrease

But this does not imply a fixed or limited “stock” of consciousnesses

Consciousness is not “made” from matter, so new beings can appear


So they avoid the “fixed quantity” objection.

---

4. What kind of evidence would even be possible?

Hindu schools admit empirical evidence is not enough for metaphysics.
Instead, they use:

1. Phenomenological evidence

Insights from meditation or introspection similar to what Husserl or contemporary consciousness research does.

2. Inference to best explanation

If a theory explains:

Consciousness

Personality continuity

Psychological differences

Moral causality
then it is rationally acceptable.

This is structurally similar to:

Kantian metaphysics

Bayesian inference

Parfit on personal identity

Whitehead on process philosophy

3. Coherence

A metaphysical system is judged by:

internal consistency

explanatory power

ability to explain experience

Not by empirical testability because metaphysics in general isn’t empirically testable.

This is true for:

Platonism

Theism

Idealism

Panpsychism

Multiverse theories

Many parts of theoretical physics

---

5. So why would anyone live according to it?

Not because it’s comforting.
Because it offers a coherent explanatory model of:

The nature of consciousness

The origin of suffering

The persistence of personality

Ethics as a causal law

Psychological development

Whether this is true is a separate question.
But it is not just “nice stories.”

It’s a philosophical system competing with other metaphysical models.

---

6. Your core question is excellent

You said:

> I don’t see reasonable arguments for it.
I don’t want ideology, I want truth about the universe.

If you’re interested, I can go in any of these directions next:

A point-by-point rational critique of reincarnation

A comparison of Hindu metaphysics with neuroscience

How Nyāya “proves” the soul

How Vedānta argues consciousness is fundamental

Philosophical alternatives: materialism, physicalism, panpsychism

Where Hindu arguments are weak or fail

What a fully rational secular version of these ideas looks like

Just tell me which angle you want to tackle!

Where does the term "Hinduphobia" originate from?

The story of Hinduphobia began long before the word even existed. For centuries, Hindus lived with their temples, traditions, gods, and festivals forming the heart of their culture, but misunderstandings and prejudice slowly grew around them. Foreign invaders mocked their beliefs, destroyed temples, and twisted their traditions, yet no one had a name for the pain. During the colonial era, British writers and missionaries described Hinduism in unfair and degrading ways, shaping a world that saw Hindus through stereotypes instead of truth. Later, when Hindu families moved abroad, their children were teased in schools, their gods were mocked, and textbooks misrepresented their faith, creating a quiet but constant sense of isolation. Still, there was no word for this discrimination. Only in the late 1900s did scholars and Hindu communities finally decide to name this longstanding prejudice, and thus the word “Hinduphobia” was born a word that captured generations of mockery, stereotyping, violence, and misrepresentation. As social media grew in the 2010s and 2020s, so did the hate: comment sections filled with insults, videos mocked Hindu deities, and blasphemous edits targeted Krishna, Shiva, Durga, and Rama, while mandirs abroad were vandalized without consequence. For the first time, Hindus across the world could point to a single word that described the pain they had been carrying for centuries. Hinduphobia became a shield, a voice, and a way to say “this is real, and this must stop.” And even today, the story continues, as Hindus speak up to protect their faith, their identity, and their dignity ensuring that the world finally recognizes the struggle that was ignored for far too long.

I hope this actually helps explain where the word Hinduphobia came from! 🪷🌸
