For JB

JB,

I feel sorry for you JB. Dont be brainwashed. Your eyes and ears are open. But your mind is closed. Hindus dont think it is their "mission" to convert others to Hinduism. Actually conversion to Hinduism is meanigless. Mother Theresa though she was doing a religious duty by helping the lepers and trying to convert them to Christianity. Baba Amte, who also worked for Lepers (including his 2 sons who are doctors) did not have the compulsion of conversion and popularity which was a need for Mother Theresa. This is a good comparison between the schools of thought.

It is very easy to bash other religions. It takes courage to understand their faith and see where it stands.

I guess only a Hindu will say this: Continue to be a good Christian or a good Muslim. And you will automatically become a Hindu. We wont try to convert you because Hinduism is a thought process. Not a religion. The word "Dharma" which is closest to religion really means "Duty"

I understand your good intention and I appreciate it. Technically it's impossible to convert someone to Hinduism, because the caste system is the backbone of Hinduism. If you convert someone to Hinduism, what caste will he be?

Mr.JB, caste system exists in other religions including Islam and Christianity and in some other countries also. You can get more info from Wiki.

You did not answer my question, instead you point to something else. And, NO caste system DOES NOT exist in Christianity. You can start believing in Jesus and be equal with all other believers.
