HINDUS : All religions are NOT equal

Look mate, I'm an agnostic humanist.
I do not care for what religion one follows. The people in those villages are so backward that they haven't even seen electricity in their village.
If they need any medical help they have to travel about 100-150 KM to the nearest Town. And there has not been a plain road even.

The life is hard in those places..
If those missionaries are providing them things they need, its not mere taking advantage of circumstance. It is actually helping them by making their life better.

 

Oh, I agree entirely! I do worry, however, that those missionaries wouldn't be there if the opportunity for conversion didn't exist.

 

I do not understand. If christians setting up camps and trying to improve the lives of people in those villages is like giving money on interest...?

Why not HINDU friends do it then? Help your own people to get better so they wont convert.

I believe religion is something more than what our Hindu friends think.

Moreover, religion is a human right. If christian can convert a hindu, a hindu can also do the same.

 

Best response in this thread so far. If Indians are truly concerned about the rate of conversion, then help your own people to eat! I don't imagine you've spent much time in a remote village helping the poor to their feet, have you verymodest?

 

But our Hindu friends (who play this blame others game) will never do what christian missionaries are doing. Because they are more concerned about vote banks and national politics and not about lives of those poor people who die without food. If they had done it, India would have been developed twice as much as it is right now.

Thanks PalSys.

 

Yes, Certainly..
But I'm happy that whatever the reason is, those people are getting a better life..

 

Please provide examples of what you said about Sanskrit ?

 

Verymodest, first of all i must say that the way u speak is the complete opposite of your dp screename. Second of all i have quite a few hindu friends who i respect very much and non sounded like u are on this thread. As far as conversions no one is pointing a sword to their head. If someone were christian and decided to convert to hinduism would u point a gun at their head and tell them to go back to their former beliefs?
No the same way as any religion wouldnt turn away someone who was interested in their beliefs. Religions cannot be forced, it is an individual choice and it comes from within a persons soul. I have never held it against someone that they werent the same religion as i was. If you want to convert others to hindu religion just leave to another country, help that countries poor and homeless and im sure u will get some converts to.

 

umm.. I'm not sure I follow you..

What kinda example are you looking for?

 

He means to prove ur words How did u blindly say indians are not interested in sanskrit? u should have some proofs before saying it! u can't just say only hindus are crazy for english even other religions are!

 

He didn't ask to PROVE the words, he asked for example, and as far as I know both are not same..

However, Out of total Hindu population in India only 4% people can actually speak and understand Sanskrit. and Most of them are either scholars or teachers.

The Language is dieing, and once it is dead, There is not way We can read and understand the ancient scientific discoveries Like Vedic Mathematics and Aryabhatt's astronomical discoveries and many more....

 

There are number of reasons for that :

a) It is the most ancient religion on earth and in absence of other religions it was the way of life
b) Unlike Islam and christinity it didn't had any political agenda.
c) In absence of any political agenda Hindusim never initutionalised conversion.
d) Hindusim were in seize of Islamic forces for centuries ( later under British) so couldn't develop its culture.
e) The Hindus were relatively poor so couldn't dole money to convert people or set missioneries.


Now the things are changing. Hindus have realised the follies of not being political , are earing good money and I am sure within 5-10 yrs Conversions will be a thing of past.

 

May I ask you a question, which museum you used to hide in and how you got out?

 

If someone wants to convert, that's their personal choice.

Also you mentioned that Hindus are the most intelligent. How can you confidentally say this when India is mixed with different religions?

 

Can't u be more clear

 

Zoomone, ask him [stock_post ] a sanskrit version, may be he is expert in it and write better

 

see man! we have rich traditions, culture! Missionaries seem to come to india only to convert hindu's to christians.. cause they are more gullible to scams.. thats the point of my starting this thread! Those missionaries are a piece of shit. Hindusim was destroyed because we happily gave place to islam, christians, etc., My point is if INDIA was a HINDU country, not democratic, then no hindu would be susceptible to such misssionary scams. Those village people are poor because of the political system and not because of the hindu religions per se'. Its the political system that is corrupt here and is the main root cause of all the problems hindu's are facing today. If i get a chance to speak anything on TV, even on sports T(lol). I would start with an request to president and prime minister to change this democratic system and make it a hinduistic state. Its high time we that we should be enforced again with hinduistic ideals, and prepare for all thing worse. Islam, christians, etc., are preparing for the things, while we just sit and say that, "all religions are equal".
