Note, this is not my opinion, I'm merely stating a fact - if God exists, it can be known, because then God can verify His own existence. And if He does not exist, then it cannot be known. It's as simple as that.

It calls religious people believers, and atheists are called unbelievers. How misleading is that? As an atheist you believe in something that cannot be verified.

Last I heard he said that he was living in India
in a room that was lent to him since he couldn't find a place to stay. I don't know if he's still there or if he has returned to Denmark. He mentioned in an earlier message that his wife and kids were no longer with him. They probably packed up and left, since his
personal ideas are terribly sexist. Jahnu was obviously totally brainwashed and never recovered.
As to his religion: The main Indian god was originally Indra. During a migration/conquest, the main god became Brahman. Krishna, Shiva and Brahma, the main
Hindu gods are avatars of Brahman (or is it the other way around with Brahma and Brahman? I always confuse the two.) There are a whole bunch of other avatars
(including Ramayana and even Jesus). Krishna is portrayed having blue skin because he was a southern god of the dark-skinned Indians. The northerners who had much lighter skin didn't want a black-skinned god (you can see the black-skinned Krishna in early Indian artwork), so they made Krishna and other adopted southern gods blue. In time, some gods took up more importance to some Indian people and they started worshipping them as the main god, but most people worshipped mainly one god but believed that they were still an avatar of Mr.Big. In the 20th century a sham and fraud made up the Hari Krishna 'religion' as a get rich quick scheme. Like the Moonies, they would quite literally capture people and brainwash them. They were the loons who hung out at air ports hopping up and down on one leg selling flowers and trying to reel in more suckers. THAT is what Jahnu (Jesper Wernberg) is.
