Counter-Pressure
- title
- Hindu depth asks a real question about ultimate reality.
- text
- Devotional transformation as evidential coherence: Hindu traditions often see that reality is deeper than the surface world. That is worth respecting. The Christian question is whether ultimate reality is personal enough for love, moral evil, history, incarnation, and resurrection.
- path
- Affirm the hunger for union with the divine. Then ask whether the final goal is dissolving the person or restoring the person in love. Christ enters history; He does not merely point beyond it. Do not flatten Hindu traditions. Compare patiently: personal love, evil, history, and bodily hope are the key tests.

Caveats / Notes
- Cap notes
- This row preserves rival-worldview pressure for fair comparison. Future cap diagnostics may govern overlap with sibling rival rows, but should not hide the challenge.
- Cap profile note
- Rival and defeater pressure is capped within its own family and kept visible.
- Cluster note
- Hinduism fair-seat cap: supports Hindu-family coherence only within the stated doctrine/practice; do not treat as a blanket disproof of Christianity, theism, or naturalism.
