✡ Hindu Zionist ॐ:
Hindu Nationalists ruled India from 1998 to 2004, tell me one act of violence which has happened against Christians in India. Yes acts against Minorities have been reported on internet and media, but dont fall for it. the reported minorities are "muslims" not christians. Ask yourself why have such attacks happened only in 2008? The reason is political and socio-religious. Almost all Christian missionary bodies here work in tribal areas. Personally i dont give a damn if they covert those tribals. Cause it is only going to harm CHristianity, just like how Christianity was tried over Blacks. And we know the results. I dont want to sound racist or anything.
Christian missonaries should divert their energies towards europe where Christianity is soon failing. According to recent reports 100000 Britons are going to apply for debaptisation.
I agree people are free to make their choice. But why do missionaries have to go to tribal areas and tell them that their G-d's are false?. It is not a legitimate way for preaching religion to others.
Almost all my Christian friends live in a way of Hindu way of life. They talk,were clothes like Hindus, follow Hindu certain Hindu customs and also celebrate Hindu festivals. And i see no difference in myself and them.

Christians who consider G-d as one more deity to the pantheon and still thinks it's ok to celebrate Hindu festivals are seriously in need of some guidance. The Bible speaks against that kind of thing. They need to give that stuff up if they're going to seriously follow Christianity. Christians that tell the "tribals" that their gods are false do so because that's what Christianity teaches. In fact if a deity has real power and it's telling someone to follow it for its own sake then it's considered to be more of a demon. To be honest creatures like Kali do look a lot more like demons than deities anyway.
I want to believe that you don't intend anything evil for the Christians in India but I just don't feel like I can trust you. How do you explain the videos of people on documentaries saying that Hindus destroyed their crops, killed and raped their family members, and the videos of smashed churches?
✡ Hindu Zionist ॐ:
It is ok if you tell hindus that they are worshipping false Gods (because Hindus are very tolerant,the fact which i'm proud of) until it leads to something terrible and a communal situation prevails. Let me tell you by example what actually happens.
100 Hindu tribals listen and then start believing about Christianity when a Missionary preaches them. They are also told that their temples and idols are to be destroyed first else it amounts to Sin. So these 100 Convert tribals now go and destroy a local Hindu Temple. Rest of the nearby 2000 Hindu's living in nearby areas get offended due to their Temple being broken down. What follows is destruction of Church's in return. Now this has nothing to do with persecution of any religion. It is about respecting each other sentiments, we know where the problem lies.
Christians should learn from the Jews about living in harmony and not missionising. I am sure that amongst 1 billion Hindus, not many people would know about Abraham, Moses but when they arrived 2000 years back, we gave them a land to practice their faith based on the only condition of mutual respect and harmony. That is in essence Hinduism-Judaism the faith which teaches tolerance and non violence to the world. I am glad that reliigous leaders from the ancient land of Israel came and acknowledged our contributions.
Rubystars:
The right thing to do would be to destroy their own idols if they have them. I think going and destroying a public building like that would be illegal and Christian teaching does say to respect those in authority. I think somewhere along the line there has got to be a misunderstanding taking place. If someone becomes a Christian they should stop going to the Hindu temple and destroy their own personal idols. They shouldn't destroy the temple unless the whole community becomes Christian though because the temple won't be around anymore anyway if people decide not to go there.
The violence against Christians may have escalated in 2008 and that's why it started getting a lot of media coverage. I am hoping that as more stories come out that the picture will be more clear.
I really want to agree with Chaim about the Hindu nationalists. It's just really difficult for me to do so when I hear about things like that.
I think one of the biggest problems in India has to be the lack of education of many of the poor citizens there. I mean I read some of them use cow dung as a disinfectant, or as a cleanser. Any basic scientific knowledge would tell them that cow dung is potentially full of very harmful or deadly bacteria like e coli, but they don't have the education to know that. They really believe that it has cleansing properties.
I also ran across this article today
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/food_and_drink/article5707554.ece
It says that the RSS is going to be promoting a cow urine based soft drink. I want to be fair. Is this true?
✡ Hindu Zionist ॐ:
They need education, not switching faith. India has become economic super power and produced intelligent and hard working individuals not my adhering to any faith(including Hinduism,Christianity,Islam).Drinking of Cow urine by some Hindus saying it has purifying properties is same as a Father of a Church sprinkling water on his subjects and telling them they are now purified. Does that mean Church Father is uneducated? There is a fine line between faith and science.Lets not mix each other.
about the news piece, I am in touch with RSS activists, but even they dont know about it, so i cant comment.
also why would it escalate in 2008? why did it not escalate in 2000? If Hindus really wanted to persecute Christians why did it take them more than 80 years to do it?
