“Monotheism” does not mean “God is one.” It means “there is one God, that god is MY god, all others are FALSE gods.”

There is no concept of “false gods” in Advaita or Hindu philosophy, no concept of “shirk.”

Monotheism is an imperialist ideology of intolerance and erasure. https://twitter.com/subrama77304007/status/1354275869175341056
Most Hindus don’t understand this (Sikhs do even less).

Neither Sanatan nor Sikhi is “monotheistic.” Monotheism is an ideology of supremacy, the elevation of a petty tribal god to the pretense of the Universal. It is ignorant tribalism universalized.

Only the Univeral Consciousness can say no matter who you pray to, the prayers come to me.

A petty jealous rakshas “if you pray to anyone else, make anyone equal to me, or my partner, I’ll send you to hell.”

हिंदी में “”मॉनॉथीइज़म “ का अनुवाद है एक ईश्वरबाद। यह ईसाई धारा पर आधारित ग़लत अनुवाद है। ईश्वर तो एक ही है, इसमें विवाद क्या। मॉनॉथीइज़म का अनुवाद होना चाहिए “एक दैविकता”। एक ही देव है। लेकिन ऐसा कोई देव नहीं है केवल राक्षस वृत्ति है, हरिणयकश्यप जैसी।

These insights come from meditation. Our warriors were meditators. You may be confusing with Gandhian dhimmivad.

No, judgemental is ranting against "idol worship" and "false gods." This is merely exposition of your concepts in Indic terms. https://twitter.com/gregorylent/status/1354492576380776448?s=20
A cow is more real than the imaginary "creator god." Kinder too. Definitely gentler and more worthy of respect than the cruel, vindictive, jealous and insecure imaginary "creator" throwing people into "hell." https://twitter.com/HalalFelid/status/1354500061590401024?s=20
Lol, your fantasy "creator" can't throw anyone into hell. Eternal hell and heaven (with whiskey and sex with "virgins") are useful for motivating barbaric male armies but little else. I don't worry about Allah, but his "believers" who create hell on earth. https://twitter.com/Mughaliya_/status/1354508839811305472?s=20
Apparently "Allah" exists because the "word" means the same as "the God" in English. 🤣

Certainly the "god" who fantasized the flat earth and "rivers of milk and honey in heaven" and made sex slaves halal is a desert fantasy.

https://twitter.com/dawah_islam_2/status/1354517529599893508?s=20
Oh yes, CAPITAL LETTERS. You've made me a BELIEVER. How could I doubt your CREATOR. 😏

Wake up from these childish ideas of some "god" tormenting you hell and in heaven. Your mind does that here and now. Don't waste your life in silly rules and fears. https://twitter.com/Mughaliya_/status/1354519926975782912?s=20
The "Allah" who had a "last prophet" certainly doesn't exist. It comes from a very limited sense of time. Why would this "Allah" stop sending prophets? There are certainly plenty of confused Muslims fighting each other today, they could use another one. https://twitter.com/Muhamma55993271/status/1354521813880102916?s=20
And as far as slavery goes, this "last prophet for all times" names 70 acts that are sinful, but not enslaving other human beings. In fact, Islamic countries were last to outlaw slavery, that too under pressure from the West. https://twitter.com/sankrant/status/1279962884005494784?s=20
Lol, why did Allah send such a confusing "last message" that innumerable sects fight over interpreting it correctly,. Shouldn't you ask for a new prophet to fix that? https://twitter.com/Muhamma55993271/status/1354524120579518466?s=20
Lol, really? Then why would there be so many schools of Islamic jurisprudence and so many contradictory fatwas and mullahs fighting each other. ("Music is haram", "music is not haram" ...) https://twitter.com/Mughaliya_/status/1354527581274431488?s=20
I'm glad you agree that I'm representing your ideology accurately. This thread was actually for moronic Hindus who don't get that intolerance is inherent in your ideology and think that singing "Ishwar allah tere naam" will fix it. But others jumped in. https://twitter.com/RayhaanMan/status/1354531404563025928?s=20
We are at stage 2 in the "responses." Stage 3 is next. https://twitter.com/sankrant/status/1280227996675104769?s=20
"Worship" is an Abrahamic concept "Pooja" (पूजा) is not worship. It means to revere and respect, to pay attention to. We even do "shastra pooja", pooja of our tools.

In Abrahamism "worship" is reserved for the "true god", otherwise it is "shirk."

This one is for all those who rail against "idol worship." Your fundamentalism stems from that. Your "Holy Book" is your biggest idol.

Railing against "idol worship" is also part of monotheism. This is what leads to temple-breaking and Buddh-destroying. http://indiafacts.org/murti-puja-antidote-fundamentalism/#.VL9PrFritnH

Or better yet.
Monotheism is not “God is One, we all worship the same God by different names.”

It is

“My god, my way is the ONLY true one. My god is true, your god is false.”

Monotheism is really MY-theism, an ideology of supremacy and intolerance.

Lol "na tasya pratima asti" means, of which there is no image. Like saying "love is inexpressible." That doesn't mean there is anything wrong with expressing love. Quite different from the psychotic "I'll roast you in hell if you try to make an image." https://twitter.com/majidsyed30/status/1354680978040627200?s=20
It is not "33 million gods." It is about 33 types of energies, but let that be.

The world is diverse. Is there only one type of flower or fruit or tree? Diversity is joyous, natural. Why would the Universal Consciousness not express in many Divine forms? https://twitter.com/majidsyed30/status/1354711132586577920?s=20
Learn to think for yourself. Don't have to keep repeating with the Maulvis say, keep trying to fit everything to justify one "Holy Book." Set aside the dogmas drilled into you and you'll realize what I'm saying is simple and natural. 😌 Like diversity is.

You need to sharpen on your understanding more than one primitive "creator" god. Do you know what "Advaita" means? And who is this "creator." What does "he" create, out of what? https://twitter.com/Muhamma55993271/status/1354719697082707973?s=20
That happens only in fantasy or kiddie magic shows. Nothing is created out of nothing. Think scientifically, not from a fantasy of an imaginary "being." What did this "Allah" create the world out of, and what is the need for a "creator" at all? https://twitter.com/Muhamma55993271/status/1354746622618578945?s=20
If the creator just popped up why can't the universe just pop up too? 😏 The creator has to be an incredibly complex being no, to create the universe. How did "he" just pop up? And if "he" did why not the universe. https://twitter.com/Muhamma55993271/status/1354762157821456389?s=20
The universe could also always exist, doesn't need to be "created." No "supreme being" to create things by magic is needed. And where does this "supreme being" live btw, can we spot him with a telescope? https://twitter.com/Muhamma55993271/status/1354766904120979458?s=20
