Allegations in Religious category - What is called Allegations?

An allegation is a claim of a fact by a party in a pleading, which the party claims to be able to prove. Allegations remain assertions without proof, until they can be proved.

Many members like mr odampully in form of question raising allegations against Religions, cultures, traditions etc.,

Those members should understand that floating questions is different from floating allegations. Most questions from mr odampully are allegations and not questions.

A question or questions can be answered by the answering community members. How can members come forward to answer for the allegations raised by some members like mr odampully in the form of question.

Wonderfully the allegations too wrong allegations. False allegations appear to serve three major functions for the complainants: providing an alibi, seeking revenge, and obtaining sympathy and attention.Such false allegations is imprecise, and this creates confusion when discussing the issue or attempting to estimate its prevalence. For example, many attempts to define what is and is not a false allegation have rested on the motivation of the member..How it is wrong and false?. i give a few examples.

One mr Dasan gave answer in this question.

http://in.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ai...

The answerer mr Dasan clearly said and used the word ''Allegations''.

Again in this question http://in.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Al...

the asking member mr odampully gave a verse from a saint called sivayogi. This is the verse he quoted. ''"Yage pashu vadha karya". Again the same member mr Dasan writes in his answer this.

''i specifically asked to show authority about ''Yage Pashu Vadha Karya''.You first read i come quoting from Rik Veda.Your question is about '''cows''???You now say about Goat and Horse??Your question is Wrong. You did not have boldness to admit ?? Sideracking issues??What do you say about my reference from Rik veda??Please don't cheat people by unfounded and meaningless verses.

mr odampully allegations:

1.Religion changes great and wise into blind and idiots.

2.Hindu scriptures allow killing cows in rituals. (Now he sideracked as animals instead of cow)

3.Some Hindu saints beg, some travel naked, some keep mum. (no authority quoted so it is allegation)

4.one God kills the devotee of another God.

5.Harichandra tried to kill Brahmin child to cure disease, Sreeramakrishna offered meat to God.This allegation against the history.

6.Hindus devote Goddess by offering liquor, meat of chicken & goat.

7.Vaishnavas burn their body using Shank, Chakra symbols to eliminate sins.

i can say many more. Quoting wrong verses. Coming with allegations. Are these questions or allegations?

Let the members decide.

Update:

please read the 2nd paragraph in my addl details as under.

A very few ..i mean one or two members like mr odampully in form of question raising allegations against Religions, cultures, traditions etc.,

Update 2:

I received nearly 10 mails including from mr odampully to answer his questions. i can answer questions but not allegations. i am giving answers to many many members because they float questions and not come with allegations.

    His questions are less of allegations and more of thoughtless insults for fun-sake. He commends vegetarianism, meditation, free thought, science and then he goes on to attack in entirety the very religion which is known worldwide for these practices since ancient times. He also twists the spirit of various beliefs by quoting from dubious sources or out of context or by quoting discarded/ unpopular/ exceptional stuff which even those believers don't take seriously.

    He does raise some sincere and factual points against Theism, though. But if he is realistic and want people to take him seriously about questioning and shunning their religious excesses, then questions like 'Which hand Narayana used to remove his wife's underwear' won't help.

    I have been watching the questions asked by Mr.Odumpully.I could have easily countered his allegation but I did not do it because his sole aim is to blame Hinduism °rade it.The version in vedas and Scriptures may appear to be controversy & not in accordance with our custom and tradition.But if you analysis the period in which they were written,the contents and language used are justified with relevant period.Words used in Sanskrit,have significant importance with different meaning.Literal meaning will mislead people like Odumpuly.For example,in the Rig Veda,it is stated that one-foot surpasses Two foot;Two foot leaves three foot behind.Here one foot is sun;Two foot is human and the three foot is old man because he takes support of a cane for walking.If you take literally,you can not have any meaning.Likewise,Soma,mentioned in the Rig veda is to be taken as inspiration juice and not as drink or liquor.Dr.Radhakrisnan s Indian philosophy will clear some of our doubts on Hinduism.

    With regard to your additional details: Unless he can show where he's getting the information for his allegations, then you cannot really answer him. He's claiming one thing without backing it up with facts. That makes it impossible for you to answer him because everything he says is his own opinion and based on conjecture.

    I want to give impartial answer. Everyone should be careful while preparing a question. In a question asking to clear doubts is one, sentimentally hurting is another one. i suggest a question may be posted without hurting the sentiments of others. Again, it is good to check verses one or two times before posting. Indian members are very clevers and easily findout the originality. The google and yahoo there instead of confirming the verses.Some questions seems to be allegations to others than the posting members.

    On Yahoo Q & A, there is nothing to take as allegations, but as individual opinions. If some quotes are taken as allegations, it amounts to wrong thinking and misconceptions.

    Mr.Odampully may be trying to put forth his views against the views of Theists who follow somebody's writing, preachings, teachings without probing as to whether they are based on truthful evidences.

    As I have seen, read and understood many holy scriptures, they are not at all relevant to present day.

    What is the use of unwanted and meaningless arguments on useless subjects. There are numerous subjects available on this planet to learn and we need many births to know those subjects. Let us stop commenting on each other.

    Questions rising have their own style.Some will float positively and some are against. you should understand the question. i feel it is his own style. Here i am not supporting his questions which are not acceptable.Allegations are also a question is my argument.

  • 9 years ago

    I'm not entirely sure what the question is, but I agree with one of his allegations. Religion does change great and wise into blind, in my opinion. (which is why that is an "allegation", because it's an opinion and not based on any particular study and/or source).

    With regard to your additional details: Unless he can show where he's getting the information for his allegations, then you cannot really answer him. He's claiming one thing without backing it up with facts. That makes it impossible for you to answer him because everything he says is his own opinion and based on conjecture.

    Challenging question: God kills own children, says all Religions. Then how can that cruel rascal be respected?

    Odampully sir says God kills own children, says all Religions. Then he scolds God as 'cruel rascal'.Then he came with a question ''how the cruel rascal be respected''. Was this words he used a question or allegation? He did not say the particular religion, but said commonly.it is not a question, it is an allegation against the God. He said not to respect God since God kills his own children. First he never accepted God, later he accepts God and speaking against God by serious allegation.Hinduism believes heaven and hell and as per Hinduism, Gandhiji has gone to heaven. Hinduism says that he has gone to heaven means he has gone to heaven. He accepted Lord Ram. Ram is real god's incarnation, so he has gone to heaven. Again by accepting Lord Ram, he didn't reject Lord Jesus, he accepted him as true other names of same real god who incarnated for benefit of humanity, just like Lord ram. He called his god with name ram. Christians call god with name Jesus.

    My religion believes that every religion shares the same god and every one's god belonging to same or different religion is one. For example different siblings share the same parents.we all know ‘SUN’ is an English word, in Hindi it is ‘Surya’, Sanskrit it is ‘surya or aditya’,and the sun has many names in other languages such as“sol”, ‘Taiyou’, 'taiyang', ‘Helios’ etc.Although we have different words for sun in different languages, all of them have the same meaning and same feelings and sun is one and only one.so, so many gods in so many religions.In his allegation against God, he pulled every religious Gods.It is his wish to post questions, but i distanced from answering because of his allegations.
