Many would claim that, given the choice, The LORD Himself [&/or Herself] would be atheistic, given the catastrophes perpetrated, and borne by Humankind, in its name. Interestingly, on the three or four times in his adult life that Shaw has either been atheistic [or unsure, that is to say, agnostic] he was very nearly struck by lightning [!] While many acknowledge the term Hinduism to en...
