Obviously, he is informed enough, or studied enough to understand some of the basic concepts. And he talks about the LORD as being the God of all Gods! Well that certainly seems to be something of a capitulation to the Hindu philosophy of many faces, one God. Even saying that on his program plants some seeds of possibilities that may sprout later on in someone who hears it today. It's not quite the doctrine of monotheism that the Christian fundamentalists generally teach.
