Steve, we all were born like we are.
You say you believe in
Sanathana Dharma (by following Paramahansa Yogananda and Amma).
I cannot help but think that both (and their saint-teachers) must have "told" you that God is all-inclusive.
Baba Hariharananda often said, "There is no Non-God in this universe."
If what I said now holds true, then...
Why do you post lots of politically and religiously sectarian thoughts, on your board? (I'm not interested in any of this, personally.)
Didn't you digest the message completely yet, that we cannot change others, but only change ourselves (and thus help changing the world through our own example)?
Trying to change others (even complaining about others or creating a wave against them) only leads to more conflict.
At least, this is what I mean to have understood from the masters.

You have an interesting view here. That is if I’m making an observation I’m complaining. If others try to convert me continuously I’m responsible for trying to change them. Politics? Why did Krishna get involved in them? All is inclusive so why say anything?
