Shubhamgarg1993 claims that Sanatana Vedic Dharma is only true religion.

From where I sit, any claim that there is one true religion is what we call an off-by-one error. Can anyone produce a good reason to believe that there is a true religion?

i beleive that religions are true in some respect or another but are incomplete in themselves..

through the word only i seemed to specifically point to those religions which claim to be only true religions in themselves!!

otherwise no religion is completely wrong....

Hinduism is a most interesting belief system so far as I understand it ( and that’s not a lot I am afraid :confused2: )
I am presuming you follow this belief in some way.
From what little I know it is very old and diverse, encompassing beliefs held in numerous religions, from my point of view that in its self is a good thing.
As I am very interested can you please elaborate on your opening statement by explaining why it is the only true religion?
And what beliefs you hold?
I’m a sort of pantheist theist so I am definitely not about finding something to argue about.

ok i present a few views...

hinduism as believed by mostly today is not like that...

today people think

1. hinduism is polytheistic religion ========> wrong
2. hinduism believes in god with a body=====> wrong
3. hinduism believes in idol worship========> wrong

since hinduism began with perception of mankind, and we have the oldest scriptures as 'Vedas' which were given by god.

rest all scriptures were written by humans and were corrupted with time or even if not corrupted they can never be trusted and are to be read on the lines of vedas alone.

there are 4 vedas which encompass all the knowledge.

Vedas have not been textually corrupted till now by even a single letter.
(for if we believe god is powerful , he must be powerful enough to make a mechanism to preserve it).
no textual corruption in vedas

2. we believe god never takes birth and nor needs any agents or intermediates to be reached.
you can get an idea of concept of god here..
Vedic god

3. Vedas have no place for stories in them since they were from starting of mankind. secondly vedas also have no place for unscientific things..
it clearly rejects any concept of miracles.. they say that god himself has made laws of nature and never breaks them.. so miracles like splitting moon in two, healing with prayers have no place in vedas...

Do the people think that they will be left to say, "We believe" without being put to the test?
We have tested those before them, for GOD must distinguish those who are truthful, and He must expose the liars.

Quranic Reference? Or is that a red herring when your claims were refuted?

can you show a vedic reference for idol worship or for worship of the image you posted above?? please read my WHOLE comment from which you had quoted.

as you claim only quran is protected all other hadiths etc. cannot be trusted...
similarly only vedas can be trusted as in case of hindus only vedas are god given knowledge.

How do you explain the 30 million Hindu Gods?

I did not claim anything; you are the one claiming Hinduism is the true religion & when i show your claims are incorrect you deviate the topic, how does that work?
