only republicans promote church policy in politics and becouse of bush and antonia sonia,
evanglism is at peak in india now as bush is a twice born christian.once democrates win in U S
elections,situation will change.hillary sister in law is an hindu converted 3 years before in a simple ceremony at Rameswarm.infact clinton daughter who came twice to india wanted to change and becouse of hillarys political fortune
it was dropped.so americans are no longer be carried away with christianity.

Hinduism was never a religion. It was a social order. Hindutva is not about hinduism its about looking at the world in a particular way that some people think is Indian. Hinduism or paganism existed all the way from arabaia to the northern tip of australia. Geo-political and religious changes occur over a period of hundreds of years. So in the past few hundred years hinduism has been limited to a very small land mass in the world. It has been on the decline from hundreds of years and its still declining because hinduism does not offer an ideology. The best arguments made by hindus is that Xians are evil, Islam is evil and thats why you should be hindu. :-)
Well this wont stop the decline of hinduism. One has to accept that hinduism is on its last leg after a marathon run of thousands of years. How many of you think that hinduism would be dominant religion after 100 years in India ? No one. Its a constant process of messages conveyed by way of media that will change the way a common indian thinks.

You got converted...may be good for you...but dont generalize things..ok..
Religion is not meant for benefits...if one religion gives u more benefit and dignity in society it doesnt mean u should jump in to that religion.
Religion is just a way of life....like different rivers follow different paths to reach the ocean...
Remember, lot of illiterates only have got converted to christianity in Africa/Asia...and few literates like you have got in because of many favours
Ocean water may look like reducing while evapourating...but it can raise the level when heavy rains pour...so Hinduism have grown and will grow like Ocean water...dont worry

christianity will meet the same fate of lenin
communism in russia where people even had thrown
lenin statue after deserting their faith on communism.you will see same fate for your new found faith which is now active in east after getting booted out from europe. when oil is finished,fire light will shine bright before it
dies suddently. hinduism withstood all agression
for past 1000 years and oldest religion of 6000
to 10,000 years.

Torchlight your ranting against other religions does not make sense. Hindus inspite of having moved out from India about 150-200 years back to places in Africa, West Indies, Europe etc. could never convince the local populace to convert. Rather many of them got converted to Christainity and Islam. In the 1960' the West started taking note of Hindu practices thanks to charlatans like Mahesh Yogi, Osho and the rest. Instead of Hinduism gaining ground these yogis left an indelible mark of being crooks out to win a quick buck and their self aggrandisement led to dissillusionment and failed to motivate the majority. Even today what you see in the US and other parts of the world outside India is VHP/RSS style of Hinduism. This will never resonate with the locals as they are looking for solutions to their problems and day to day lives rather than in proving which religion is greater than the other. That is why the only religion that addresses these issues is Christianity which has the largest numbers and is most practised worldwide. Hinduism has to get out of its mould of segregation and be more inclusive to attract people or else it will remain a regionalized faith with only Indians practising it.

people who like the truth,logic and science will
get answer from hinduism.people who simply want
to live without any sense of reality and not caring for truth will choose christianity.hindus
concern about quality of life while later is bothered about quantity of numbers in their cult
westners and americans generally would like to
go with the path that leads them to truth,logic
and science and not be carried away simply with
any stuff.hinduism can explain to inequality of
humanrace,disparities in life while christianity
can not have any answer.

Hey Ace..Hinduism is dominant and growing in every way...maybe not as a brand name..seriously no one even believes some Jewish rabbi who died on a cross can bail your ass out to some imaginary heaven...however, Christianity today has some relevance in US where it is the only force that can match Islam for cruelty and fanaticism...Christians & Muslims have been fighting in the name of God for centuries and have put God in a box. The sooner these are gone the less people go on Jihad and Crusade. Only Hinduism and the Eastern religions can provide spirituality to the human heart.

Do you call slavery and anihilation of natives to be civilisation ?Well the Romans and greek were indeed barbaric,since their own and our people testemony is their for us to read.Its for no reason yavans were called barbaric(alexarender included).But christains even have betean that record,for few christains fead to animals,they burned millions who did not convert,dashed out heads of many children,took captives many natives children in boarding schools order to teach the natives a lesson or two.You can read this in todays news regarding australia.But you will not attribute these crimes to christainity but to bad christains.
Afterall christainity is most perfect religion and christains can be bad is your logic,which you want us to accept,same like the muslims.
