Swamy Vivekananda had said: "We not only tolerate, but we Hindus accept every religion, praying in the mosque of the Mohammedans, worshipping before the fire of the Zoroastrians, and kneeling before the cross of the Christians, knowing that all the religions, from the lowest fetishism, mean so many attempts of the human soul to grasp and realize the infinite, each determined by the conditions of its birth and association, and each of them making a stage of progress. We gather all these flowers and bind them with the twine of love, making a wonderful bouquet of worship" Is this not a good ideology if some body wants to believe in any god?
Now compare this with the beliefs of Semitic religions and draw your own conclusion!

but it is hard for hindus to let the low caste hindus worship inside its temple, what a hypocratic religion

In which century are you living? There is no ban on any hindu worshipping in any temple (whether upper caste or lower caste). Btw I do not worship any god (not even vacuum)!

Is that so? My friend, not only the lower castes, but women also are prohibited entry in some famous temples.

The great Karl Marx said, 'Religion is the opium of the masses'. Take it in small doses.

how many of them have guts to let their children choose their own religion once they become an adult then forcing them in their childhood to follow a particular religion? if u dont force a child to follow a particular religion in its childhood, once he become an adult with good education he probably might laugh at all religions.
Good point Ben Hur, But do you know what is meaning of IDOL WORSHIPING? It means you consider that god exist in or have a shape of that Idol. For stone in Mecca, muslims respect it as a holy stone or auspecious stone...they kiss it as a part of ritual....BUT THEY DO NOT WORSHIP IT. They do not ask that stone to solve their Problems. They do not believe that stone has power to give them life or death. Half knowledge is dangerous my genius freind. You are a good example of "semi intellect brainwashed hatred factory products loaded with beutifully crafted FACTS AND CONCLUSIONS".

Fallah hates those who associates any thing else with Fallah. That is why Fallah is not helping mooslums who associated stone at Kaaba with him.
That is why mooslums are not able to kill all jews of Arabia as per Mooh maad's death wish.

Which direction will mooslums prey if the stone and surrounding area at mecca are nuked by US or Israel and an idol of pork erected there.
Will mooslums or their blood thirsty fallah be able to stop them from nuking it?
Are they powerfull enough to destroy US or Israel?
No Never US and Israel have more power than all mooslums in this world combined with fallah.

I believe you are just running with misconception about god, Jesus as per cristian mythology is son of God, Not god it self, Mohammmed is not god but a teacher,All the devi devtas are not actually gods but angels or people who are dear to god, God or allah is just a super power controlling the whole world, all the problems with so called religeons are beacuse we are narrow thinkers, we take things literally to the extend what ever we know, But read the whole mythology of any relegion and you will see all say same things, we just interpret differently, and because of this we actually are used by those on top of hieracrchy. Thanks KS
This is a apt rule in a country where conversions take place for food and money. The congressmen want to please their leader Sonia, and help her in her aim to make India a Christian nation. People must support such moves. When u beleive that the conversions take place due to one's own decision then why there is such s cry ? ??????????? Congress has no answer to this.
POPULATION OF HINDUS IN THE U.S. From 1,700 people in 1900, the Hindu population in America grew to approximately 387,000 by 1980 and 1.1 million in 1997. Currently, the estimated U.S. population of Hindus of Indian origin is approximately 2 million (1.8 million Indian and 200,000 Indo-Caribbean). Estimates are that there may also be as many as 1 million practicing American Hindus, not of Indian origin, in the U.S.

yes u r right they need to convert to some religion... as they dont hav the moral to continue in Christianity...
All non beleivers should be handed over to Islamic extreemists for a nice treatment, saying that 'yeh lo tumhara kaffir'. All religion should take this much advantage of Islam !

I think i have a point to make according to Islam the term KAFFIR should not be used its a term invented by Arabs to address the unfamiliar tribes , if Muslim uses that term to address Hindus, Christians or others he should be hanged till death.
India is a secular, democratic country & citizen of India has rights to vote, get convert to religion he prefer, move from one state to another. So, the new law is a problem only for the sect which does force conversion and not for the layman.
It is good to have such anti conversion rule through out our country. The rule doesn't say conversion is illegal it conveys that force conversion is illegal, which is absolutely right for such a country which has rich cultural heritage.
