To the Hindu people, death is something good and natural. Even now as a result of the recent devastating earthquake in India, people will somehow try to accept the death of loved ones as a good thing, since now they are hopefully free to go on to a better life. One other basic tenet of Hinduism is the belief that truth is not absolute. There is no authority about right and wrong. Without the Bible, the Creator and His rules cannot be revealed.
People make up their own rules.
Whether it is the practice of 'suttee', in which a widow jumps on the funeral pyre of her husband, to the way people drive, it is all the result of a theology that claims there is no personal Creator God to whom they are all accountable.
