I would just take your word for it, many is a relative term though so is dumbass. I get the impression that at least two himdus on this board think hinduuism is a superior religion.indianx said:
Prove that.
I could say many Christians are dumbasses, but I wouldn't be able to statistically prove it, it would be an ignorant statement, like yours.
MortonGneiss said:They can't prove that. It was a retarded thing to say. Hindus' may be proud of their beleifs and reluctant to abandon them, but I've never seen them going around trying to forcefully convert other people to Hinduism. The Hindus that I have interviewed all say that 'there are many paths up the same mountain', which is very tolerant of other peoples beliefs. Christians only believe in one path, and they try to force everyone onto it, or at least believe that if you're not on it then you deserve to burn in hell.

satay said:This is why they are Malecchas since they lack the capacity to comprehend Dharma and focus more on numbers instead of the basic principles that will bring peace in the world. This is why I asked; ever imagined what the world will be like when there are only two maleccha organizations left? Ram answered and said that the world will be very "clean". Yes, indeed.

Morton said:And for you to condemn people based on their beliefs isn't that much different then condemning them for their race, they're both ignorant reasons to hate someone.
Morton said:I'd rather they sent just food. Humanitarian aid should be just that. They use the plight of these people as an excuse to prostelyze, and that's dispicable. Basically the sentiment is "Hey we have food and medicine for you, but first let me tell you a bit about Jesus."
Morton said:Sweet I was right!I was only guessing what it meant based on context. I kinda like that word Malecchas, so much meaning in one word. Idiot Christian is a far more problematic term, and doesn't quite convey that meaning with the same precision.
"Indians are more spiritual than Christians?"
arunma said:Would you then like to suggest that religion is an intrinsic trait with which a person is born?
And people wonder why we call unbelievers devil-worshipers.
MortonGneiss said:That's a silly way to read what I wrote. People aren't born racist, they have to be taught to be racist by other ignorant people. Christianity just happens to work the same way.
Morton said:Which is precisely the kind of thing a Hindu would never say.
indianx said:
I suppose he meant Hindus, okay, so according to his beliefs Hindus are more spiritual than Christians and according to your beliefs, Hindus will go to hell. What's the difference here? This is a matter of beliefs and personal faith, so statistics can't come into this, since you can't prove Hindus will go to hell and he can't prove Hindus are more spiritual than Christians using numbers.
But, when you say "many Hindus" are racists, that is a matter of statistics and numbers and if you can't back it up with numbers, it will be rightfully discarded as a lie.
arunma said:it is discrimination based on an irrelevant quality
As I'm sure you've noticed, I'm not a Hindu, nor do I agree with any distinct aspect of their religion.
arunma said:Well, I happen to believe in absolute truth, so I don't think that Christianity can be right "for me," but wrong for others.
They are sending them food. I wwould think there are some people over there that can read. If they send them food and witness to them too that's better than just witnessing to them.. I don't think iit's wrong to tell them about jesus which is what I think you don't want them to do.MortonGneiss said:I think you just like to pretend this isn't true. The ones that just send food usually aren't Christian, and I happen to respect those ones.
After the tsunami struck I had some great examples of Churches that were rallying missionaries because 'the door was open' for conversion, they were going to do aid and relief, but the major motivator was that they could get into that region, an area Christians had been restricted from, and preach. But alas too much time has passed for me to provide you with those links.
So, no, I'm not just making empty claims. TBN should proof enough that many of these organizations are more interested in promoting themselves and the word of God than doing any actual good.
Let me ask a question, and maybe this will open your eyes. These people are starving to death and illiterate...what good is a new/used bible going do for?

MortonGneiss said:I think we can prove it with the numbers. If we look at the cultures that have tolerant spiritual beliefs, and we compare their analytical capacity to those in predominantly Christian nations we can see the trend. I'm fairly convinced that these differences in beliefs help create the differences in analytical capacity, and is why China, Japan, and India kick the United States ass in math and science.
So they should just tell them about jesus because that's what missionaries do??MortonGneiss said:I don't think there is any reason to do that, unless it's to excercise the superiority of their beliefs over a people that are in no position to turn them away. That's why it's taking advantage of them.
arunma said:Are you just another angry atheist?
urnotme said:So they should just tell them about jesus because that's what missionaries do??
MortonGneiss said:I'm not an atheist, if you can read you'll see that I identify myself as agnostic.
Morton said:Jesus should be left out of it altogether is what I'm saying.
Montalban said:I've already said I've read Diaz... which I doubt you've read, but you call upon me to read - even though I've already said that I have.
arunma said:You'll have to forgive me for not seeing much of a difference between the two. Besides that, you are angry (at least as far as I can tell).
And what we're saying is "no." We aren't leaving Jesus out of anything.
