Eastern Philosophy and the Vedic religions, do not have problems with other branches. In fact, India has so many "off branches" that it got really confusing between Jains, Buddhists, and Hindus. They never had a religious holy war against each other nor did they have large scale persecutions enforced by the state.

The true Eastern faithful would never attempt to belittle or compare their system vs other systems, since there are like hundreds if not thousands.
Ming, are you being mind controlled by something you read or heard about in the West? Un dealt with personal catalysts with your brother for example?
Reading the whole book of Mormon is quite impressive, as it is not a small text. Why did you do it?
The difference between Hinduism, and Western Religion? In the East, it is established that each individual has his/her interpretation of the Divine. This is why in Hinduism there are three hundred million God(s), or, three hundred million aspects of the entity. Also according to Eastern Philosophy, each interpretation is an Absolute, (and correct). Your interpretation could be the polar opposite to my concept of Reality and the God(s), and although they are viewed differently, both interpretations are Absolutes, (and correct). For me to convert you to my belief is immoral.
I disagree, the Book of Mormon is not impressive. I have read many Philosophies from the East, and the Book of Mormon is not of the same quality or calibre. Its lacking genuine Spirituality.
