Religious conversion
by JGN on Feb 06, 2008 04:12 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

The avowed policies of the Missionaries (or those who convert the natives into other religions) anywhere in the world were to inculcate in the converts a spirit of alienation towards their ancestral society, culture and religion as well as their native land - Dr. A.T. Kovoor

What hatred you found in my message?
Why should I give you reasons to convert after all you are adament to stick with your hypocritic policies?
But I hope you will realize one day probably when you attain old age nearing death.

It is better to alienate a culture that treated majority of humans as animals.
In fact even hindus alientated that culture after getting educated.

@cape

90 % of farmers in India are HINDUS ..every day they dedicate their food to SUN god before starting their harvest .....that makes every bit of food grain produced by these farmers as ambrosia ( food for gods ) ...

so pls stop taking food from now on ..or try to get only food harvested by Muslim farmers....how abt that?????

Sun is not a God buddy. It is one of the stars.

"we hindu's consider it (sun) a god"
Have you ever apply your commonsense to introspect whether sun is god or star?

What about slavery, which has been justified in The Bible??? It was more horrible than the caste system in India!

Slavery is justified in hinduism.
How casteism is not more horrible than slavery?
Read history of Travancore. You will understand how people were enslaved due to so-called 'Neethi Shastras'.
