And Mike asked about Hinduism (I think Mike asked, but maybe it was rhetorical).
Anyway, Krishna was flawed too. Not only was he a prankster, but he also killed people, like his uncle. I think pretty much, besides Jesus, no human hero is/was other than flawed. It's a common motif with heroes.
So sorry bro Mike, but you are either wrong or ill-informed.
None of us can know everything. Isn't that why we're on this forum? to be informed by others that know things we don't know?
