1- What happens to you after you die?
We either stay here or move closer to God. I don't believe in reincarnation -- I believe in Heaven and Hell. There's a quote from Aldous Huxley about 'maybe this planet is another planet's Hell.'

2- Why is there poverty and suffering in the world?
Poverty: Because the peasents haven't figured out they outnumber the aristocrats.
Suffering: Stuff happens.

3- Describe God.
The words "Infinite", "Omniscient", "Omnipotent", and others like that are nearly blasphemous from not beginning to cover it.

4- How does one obtain true peace?
Avoiding desire and doing anything possible to get closer to God.

5- When is war justifiable?
Whenever my right to support a secular government is infringed upon by other members of my church.

6- Describe Heaven; and how do you get there.
See Question 3 and 4

7- What is the greatest quality humans possess?
Logic, Wisdom, Emotion.

8- Why are so many people depressed?
Chemical imbalance, too much desire.

9- What is the meaning of life?
At this point, to find a good reason for us to stay here.

10- How would God want us to respond to aggression and terrorism?
I've got no problem dying. I will do my best to make sure other's don't.

11- What are we all so afraid of?
Fear. And the unknown.

12- What is your one wish for the world?
That everyone saw and understood the big picture.

13- What is our greatest distraction?
Varies from person to person. My distractions includes wrath, women, wine, and food. Alot of people where I live are distracted by organized religion.

14- "We are all one." What are your thoughts on this?
Oh, no, I am not my bigot uncle. I will say that everybody is made in the same image.

15- "One way mentality of some religions". Don't you think it is Illogical w.r.t to God ? If God is infinite, do you think one book with some verses can disclose his divine plan ?
I don't think there is a divine plan. I think there are some things God would like to see, but the concept of fate instituted by God seems to be evil to me. I mean, life sticks, and we should get over it, but if God at the beginning of time said "this person is going to suffer for no reason at all, except that I think it'd be nice to see", if that non-existant God used us as playthings, I don't think I could love, of even like, that non-existant God.

Sorry if I have offended anyone, or said something stupid.

You just don't get it, Rahul. I can't for the life of me see what's so hard to understand about this.

rahul_sharma said:
Yes , i know Christians can't think more deep than this. :doh: What is the fault of this soul because of which he got a body with AIDS. chance? So, God is partial. He has punished this soul without any fault??

Rahul, is it your belief that disease is a form of punishment from God? If so, that is not the mercy you claim to find in the hindu faith and if not you must suggest that any Baby born with bad genes (or scientific fact that a mother with aids= babie with aids) cannot be born with a soul. Dead, so that the soul won't have to experience physical hardship. That's illogical. No punishment here, Rahul just biological differences. Not everything is God's fault... if two people take the same dosage in a suicide attempt and one of them lives because the circumstances permit, is God partial? No, of course not.

Where is the justice in punishing us for Adam's sin? The Bible itself says that children will not be punished for the parents' sins (Deuteronomy 24:16).
Furthermore, if God really created Adam not knowing either good or evil(Genesis 3:22), how could such a harsh and enduring punishment as death for Adam and all his descendants possibly be just? So, our secular courts are more just than God when they show mercy on people who cannot distinguish between right and wrong, such as children and the mentally handicapped ??
And why isn't this doctrine of original sin found anywhere in the Bible except in Paul's writings (if i am right?)?

Due to my personal lack of knowlege in the area of original sin, I can't directly answer your question. I can point you to newadvent, which should explain the doctrine for you. Beyond that, it would be irresponsible for me to take on that debate.

http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11312a.htm

Some will get this blessing. Why not all? so , God is definately partial. Isn't he?

I take it you're not familiar with the sermon on the mount. Regardless, because you didn't look up the passage you just said that God was partial to those who suffer, and complained that they were so lucky. :doh:

This is not a logical reply. Just a random guess in dark.

It was a hypothetical question, so you can't reasonably expect anything more than speculation on my part. Trusting in God's wisdom rather than your own however, is hardly "in the dark" IMO.

Why 5 billion souls have to choose and search for truth? What is the greatness of those souls who were born in Christian families. Don't you think its so much easier for them to understand so called only true religion.:doh:

People born into Christian families also have to chose. Being born into such a family is inconsequential, you still have free will to accept it or to abandon it in the same sense that a non-Christian has to accept or abandon the gospels. This is no valid arguement.

Most petty tyrants refuse to bow down to each other, that what
wars are all about. Good point.

satay said:
Standing up against a tyrant is not a crime. It is dharma that's the teaching of the Father of this universe.

Latreia said:
But you are not answering why those sick and dying were abandoned in the streets of Calcutta, is that not a Hindu city in India? Where was that religion's compassion?

satay said:
If I must answer this question then you must first answer the reason for
crusades...
No friend, we can not and should not blame the social problems on a set of philosophies.
satay

What a technique, only YOU set the rules that others must follow. Your own accusations and slurs against Christianity must be be answered. But you cannot and will not answer directly any similar questions about your own claims to belief in the best religion on earth and the source of all other religions...a fact which is history. And you won't allow others the same privilege of obtaining any answers from you, all they get are sudden outbursts of the good old mumblings of ancient writings.

Orignal question:
Latreia said:
16. Why did an elderly Catholic nun have no problem with gathering up the dying, leprous, starving, human refuse, many abandoned infants, left in the streets of Calcutta by the fine Hindu citizens of that city?

This is a direct question for a direct answer. When I ask, it is the "Blame Game." When others must face your self righteous accusations, which you are so eager to use in debate, then you hold up your shield to deflect any serious questions you cannot and dare not correctly answer. "Blame game" indeed. You ought to know all about that, it is the technique and theme song of all the anti-Christians within a thousand miles.

indianx said:
Not this again. This is nothing more than a blame game or a series of accusations. There are sick and dying abandoned in Christian societies all over the world. There are little children raped by Christian pastors. But do the actions of these people diminish Christianity's teachings to those who follow it truly? I know that Christians like Arun or New_Found_Faith wouldn't participate in such acts. This does not excuse their actions.

Nor does such acts excuse the distorted accusations of the ingrates who have known the benefits and the billions of dollars poured into all the other countries of the world by Christian missionaries and the U.S. government, which used the money from taxes on American workers who can't take enough home to cover the expenses of their families and old age.

The recepients of all that largesse sure don't give a thought to the Christian missionaries who have been raped and murdered in those countries where they sought to bring medicine, food, shelter and love as well as their faith. Nor is there one single word of gratitude or praise for those who have loved and helped their own people.

And all for those abandoned and ignored by their own countries' governments and religions, Christian missionaries brought more wonderful things to the forgotten, suffering and abandoned people all over this planet.

Where are the muslim and hindu missionaries to countries other than their own people?

Why are there posters spending time on forums while they take advantage of the Christian nations, like Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, European countries and the United States. They come, use, criticize and try to undermine and insult everything that America and Christianity has stood for in this world for years.

Many are not IN the country of the flags they display. They are taking care of NUMBER ONE and not the poor and needy in their countries of origin. They are griping because MORE is not forthcoming from the U.S.

They are following the political agendas of those who want to take over the wealth and power of the United States, not for social welfare of all citizens, as in democratic societies, but for their own personal use. Why? Envy and hatred, no less.

These tyrants and autocrats, like Saddam Hussein, live in palaces and hoard the wealth and power, sadistically torturing and murdering by the hundreds.

"Blame game?" FACTS.

Latreia , hindus dont send missionaries to other countries because we dont believe in evangelizing . but india does help other countries in whatever capacity it can . and calcutta's ills are mostly due to the socialist government in power . and hindus do help the poor and are compassionate as people of any other religion . there are a large number of hindu social and charitable organizations that do a lot of good work like arya samaj , Sri Sri Ravi Shankar , Anna Hazare , arsha vidya centres , RSS , VHP , hindu samaj , RadhaKrishna missions Mata Amritananamayi . these organizations do charity and social work and help a lot during emergencies and disasters , they also do not have any motive of converting people

Latreia, Hindu dominated India don't envy or hate US. If America has reputation in any foreign country , then it is highest in Hindu dominated India. In a recent survey among major countries, Hindu dominated India has emerged as a country from where America got highest support.

And which blame game you are talking about? I think you started this game accidently in this thread.

Dear, Law of Karma and Reincarnatiom can answer that. Nothing is by chance. Why will God allow any soul to take birth in a bady with Aids? If any child is born with Aids, it's because of past karmas and not BY CHANCE. so, law of Karma and reincarnation prooves that God is not partial.

That link also didn't answer anything logically. This reply was connected with above reply. But because you lack knowledge in this area. So leave it.

Pardon me. You may have missed the post by Indianx. I just assumed you were actually reading all the posts in this thread started by you. Silly me, of course, what difference if you had? Selective reading, selective responses to selective quotes and very selective conclusions. Most of all, very selective and pointed questions:

rahul_sharma said:
15 Questions for all
1- What happens to you after you die?
2- Why is there poverty and suffering in the world?
3- Describe God.
4- How does one obtain true peace?

6- Describe Heaven; and how do you get there.
7- What is the greatest quality humans possess?
8- Why are so many people depressed?

15- "One way mentality of some religions". Don't you think it is Illogical w.r.t to God ?
If God is infinite, do you think one book with some verses can disclose his divine plan ?

As was expected, they have been scrambling to answer your 15, but who wants to try giving my one 16th question an honest response instead of equivocations and dissemblings?

At the feet of my CF character are the symbols of Christ's suffering; for me they are the symbols of all suffering of the creatures in this world. Finding meaning and faith is the way of the soul. Claiming the right to criticize and expose as false the Christian religion is not goodwill , nor a religious issue. What it is really about is a political issue and a very secular, biased agenda.

Sorry if you mistakenly identified me as a clumsy fool who makes mistakes by posting where I "accidentally" interfere with the assigned agenda.

Maybe, because they don't want to derail simple thread with direct honest 15 questions. Maybe, they are not fools...i believe they can understand blame game hidden in your so called 16th question which has nothing to do with OP.

Indianx responded with his own opinion, using his own term. You now take up his redirection
of my words and say that I am the one that started it. You take an opinion and make it fact
in criticizing me. You say they are "15 honest questions" and you seem to make all the
definitions for others to follow. You assume how much others liked this thread, I did not
see that they enjoyed trying to answer your questions. Neither the 15 questions nor the
responses to them seemed friendly to me.

Your interpretations. Are you suggesting that I called others "fools"? And you assume to
speak for others in again declaring that I alone made use of the "blame game" I thought my
16th question evey bit as honest and to the point as yours.

Since you aked, yes, the Christian missionaries conversions issue is quite political. You
are hardly neutral in your posts critical of almost everything about Jesus and the Holy
Bible and the flaws in the Christian faith. Both muslims and hindus now want the power to
assimilate Jesus into their own religion, thus providing the path for assimilating
Christians themselves. I researched all the Hindu social organizations that sanaa listed.
They are no different in their missions and intentions, and also their efforts to convert,
raise money, expand to all parts of the world, and make use of every medium, including the
internet, to promote proselytize actively and purposely.

Yes, I agree completely. Only the Hindus who ignored the impoverished of Calcutta are responsible for that sin. But as I said earlier, this sin isn't excused by pointing to the crusades (or anyone else's sin).
I think the crusades started out as a justifyable defense against muslims, whether they emded up whether they ended yp that way or not. .http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04543c.htm

Yes, i believe you are the one you indirectly started it. How can i make others to follow my definations when i have not even posted my belief till now??? I knew someone like you can think like this. ^_^

Yes, i wanted to know more about "Original sin" which was looking illogical to me. But , that member himself was not clear on this concept.

No, i am not suggesting that. I am just saying others are not fools who can't understand who started this BLAME GAME. Your 16th question has nothing to do with an honest OP.

Yes, I read your thread for reply. I really read all of it. Finesse.
So i hope you got ur reply for that 16th question and now you will not derail this topic.

Christian missonaries has nothing to do with OP. Is OP political in nature?:doh:

R.S.S. believes in the plural structure of society. Therefore, it recognizes that there is bound to be a majority-minority syndrome, and hence each group, whether in the majority or minority, will have a distinct identity and distinct character. Hindu philosophy, to which R.S.S. is committed, accepts and appreciates diversities. Even nature abhors uniformity.

Question: Everytime I get a cold or headache, is that a product of my Karma?

It doesn't prove anything. It's a theory without evidence. Strange how one group of theists tries to back up a hypothetical situation with theories that can't be proven while the other will lerave it up to God's wisdom. Sure your "law" can provide an eplanation, but has no proof at all and therefore is nothing but a theory. Back to the drawing board.

color=red]God is not partial. Everything happens according to law of karma and reincarnation. But Christian theory is making him Partial.[/color]

You law is rediculous and without proof. God is not "partial" in Christianity, as I have pointed out before.

That's not my wisdom. Thats an eternal truth of an Eternal religion and not a Paul's theory which can't even answer logically.

Which "theory" are you talking about? I have yet to see one truth professed in Hinduism. There must be one, but none have come to my attention as of yet. I find no "eternal truth" just a set of and theories and obliged acceptance of all religions because you can't disprove any of them.

Same is true for a follower of Islam. It is a valid arguement. It looks like you are trying to escape.

No, it isn't. It's invalid: one still has to accept or deny, which is the same proposition with one born into a non-Christian home.

1. I don't know, I haven't died yet. Reincarnation makes sense, but I can't say for certain.

2. Attachment to material things and a general lack of lovingkindness.

3. I can't, and no one can honestly, IMHO.

4. Meditation and practicing compassion.

5. War and violence are never justified.

6. See answer to #3.

7. Compassion.

8. See answer to #2.

9. I don't know. 42? What's the question?

10. Compassion. Turn the other cheek. Hatred is never overcome with hatred.

11. I'm not afraid of anything, spiritually. I'm terrified of sharks, though.

12. That people would start acting out of love and compassion rather than fear.

13. Material attachments.

14. I'm kinda pantheistic, so yes, we are all one.

15. No one person or religion has all the answers.

What a technique, only YOU set the rules that others must follow. Your own accusations and slurs against Christianity must be be answered. But you cannot and will not answer directly any similar questions about your own claims to belief in the best religion on earth and the source of all other religions...a fact which is history. And you won't allow others the same privilege of obtaining any answers from you, all they get are sudden outbursts of the good old mumblings of ancient writings.

Orignal question:


This is a direct question for a direct answer. When I ask, it is the "Blame Game." When others must face your self righteous accusations, which you are so eager to use in debate, then you hold up your shield to deflect any serious questions you cannot and dare not correctly answer. "Blame game" indeed. You ought to know all about that, it is the technique and theme song of all the anti-Christians within a thousand miles.



Nor does such acts excuse the distorted accusations of the ingrates who have known the benefits and the billions of dollars poured into all the other countries of the world by Christian missionaries and the U.S. government, which used the money from taxes on American workers who can't take enough home to cover the expenses of their families and old age.

The recepients of all that largesse sure don't give a thought to the Christian missionaries who have been raped and murdered in those countries where they sought to bring medicine, food, shelter and love as well as their faith. Nor is there one single word of gratitude or praise for those who have loved and helped their own people.

And all for those abandoned and ignored by their own countries' governments and religions, Christian missionaries brought more wonderful things to the forgotten, suffering and abandoned people all over this planet.

Where are the muslim and hindu missionaries to countries other than their own people?

Why are there posters spending time on forums while they take advantage of the Christian nations, like Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, European countries and the United States. They come, use, criticize and try to undermine and insult everything that America and Christianity has stood for in this world for years.

Many are not IN the country of the flags they display. They are taking care of NUMBER ONE and not the poor and needy in their countries of origin. They are griping because MORE is not forthcoming from the U.S.

They are following the political agendas of those who want to take over the wealth and power of the United States, not for social welfare of all citizens, as in democratic societies, but for their own personal use. Why? Envy and hatred, no less.

These tyrants and autocrats, like Saddam Hussein, live in palaces and hoard the wealth and power, sadistically torturing and murdering by the hundreds.

"Blame game?" FACTS.

Namaste Friend,

As usual I appreciate your comments. I don't agree with them but appreciate the effort.

I can not take responsibility of deconditioning anyone's mind.

All I can say is this: People who live in glass houses should not throw stones at others.

By the way, your statements about the "many living in the countries outside India are taking care of number one" are very hurtful maybe many are but not all be they christian or hindu or whatever but I will pray for you to GOD.


Be Well,
satay

While I agree with the spirit of what you're saying, we should remember that there is no prescription in the Bible for a "Christian nation." The church acts independently of any governing body, so Christianity ought not to be associated with any specific nation.

Yes, I agree that the vast majority of Hindus are thankless. This is just my perception of things, but it seems to me that Hindus are more concerned with "protecting" other Hindus from conversion to Christianity than they are with maintaining freedom of religion. Unfortunately, the Hindu understanding of "freedom of religion" doesn't seem to include the right of one to choose whatever religion he wishes. If you talk to the Hindus about proselytizing, conversion, and other similar topics, I think you'll find that they respond very negatively.

You are talking of "freedom of religion" yet if one posts anything in favour of their religion here on this site it gets deleted or posters get warnings.

Wha...

Practice what you preach...
