all u guys who talk of christainity doing things for others are soooooo mistaken. i know of any number of orphanages or homes for poor children where the only criteria for admission is to be or become a follower. i also know that my maid in balasore who was offered 5000/- about 10 years back to convert; we paid her that amount not to convert!!! all those who talk of conversion having taken place without bribe or other allurements shoulg go and visit any small town in orissa, say balasore (of NTR fame). the outskirts are all converts owning huge land tracts upto 30-40 acres given to their forefathers when they converted. these were alloted to neo converts then by the british govt. even today when such land is sold to others by the descendants, 10% of the proceeds are deposited to the church. this is no figment of imagination as it is my own hometown, so you cynics out there do not dispute what i say i can even host you there when anyone wants to seriously see for himself. yes i agree that demonising any other religion is wrong but what also needs to be understood by all you city breds is that the only religions that do not propogate expansion and conversion with or without use of force are the ones that find their origin in india. so be proud of being a hindu. remember that india lives in its small towns and villages which unfortunately the educated english speaking hindus visualies from their limited vision cityview dominated prism while all other religions have realised
