Then why do you organize into "churches" and participate in group affirmation rituals such as communion, revivals, and pot-lucks?
This is a mandate of the bible
"Do not forget the gathering together of yourselves..." Also, the third commandment is to observe the Sabath. So having church on the Sabath makes sense.
Communion was given by Christ. He said to do it as oft as ye eat and drink...as a rememberance of Jesus Christ.
Revivals and Potlucks fall into the category of doing a gathering together to share and fellowship. They are the same as going to Church.

Did you forget this one....
"And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly."
You've obviously never heard the famous saying, "India is the cradle of civilization".
Google it
Wrong. There were several cradles of civilization. The earliest known sign of sedentarization is in the Mediterranean, not India. And your people certainly weren't the first to cook their meat.
Also, isn't the impertinent sarcastic "google it" against the tos here? I seemto recall seeing that somewhere.

Please
First, I honestly wanted you to google it. Nothing derogatory. Coz there are immense amount of works lying around on why/how India is the cradle of civilization. Even Einstein said that.
Second, meat was never a staple in India. It's still considered offensive to many. My parents didn't let me eat meat in my kiddo years, citing that it would mar my intellect/intelligence. Gotta do what you gotta do when squaring off against Brahmins. They still don't eat meat.

Vegetables, please?
Wrong again. The Hindus did indeed start out as meat eaters. It's even mentioned in the Rig Veda. Brahmins included. Of course now they don't like to cop to it, but that's the facts. Just because you are vegetarian doesn't mean your entire culture was from the beginning of time.
And YOU are the one that brought up the snide comment that while the rest of the world still ate raw meat, your culture was far above that. The implication was clearly that your people were bright enough to cook their meat while the rest of us grunted in the treetops. Too bad there were several concurrent rises of civilization, and yours was not the first or the best.

First, I'm not a veggie. You seem to have the "alacrity" problem. It mars seeing through statements. But that's not my issue.
Besides, I have to list the various aspects of the Indus Valley Civilization which takes it 10 notches higher than any other. For example, teaching the world how to count, to boot (like, when you use your fingers to count 1 to 5). But it is unfortunately beyond a certain level of intelligence to accept and appreciate.
I love the roasted beef sandwich on asiago bread, if that helps
