How come none of the converts are complaining? If they are happy, what is your
problem, venkat. Why are you interested in whats boiling in others pot.Why
don't you just mind you own business? U speak as if hordes of converts landed
up in your door step asking for succour- " help me venkat I am being crucified
by these christian missionaries ".
If you think you follow a superior religion and have the spiritual courage,
try reconverting one. Make sure you donot get converted yourself. I doubt if
you will be able to reconvert even one with or without using "Rice" (Money).
If you donot understand the connection between feeding the poor and religion
mate, then it speaks volumes about your spirituality. You are worse than the
Rice missionaries. Venkat you live up to this slogan "Moo mein Ram bhagal mein
chura"

Jesus could not help himself but he helped a lot of people. Your young
immature mind , Vikash,will find that very difficult to comprehend mate. Try to
become a better Hindu first , before you accuse others of converting.Have you
ever bought lunch for a poor adivasi or a poor Hindu for that matter? That wud

Isaac,
Eg Lord Vishnu descended on earth as Rama's incarnation. The point is why do
you emphasize, Jesus died so that he can save others. WE never hear a statement
that Krishna, or Rama died so that they can save us. It is kind of
contradictory. Our gods are eternal. Only a spark of them comes to earth as
Rama, Krishna for a particular purpose. In fact all of us are sparks of god,
our creator.
Further, pray tell me .. what does feeding a poor have to do with religion.
Shame on those rice missionaries who convert the poor by feeding them. This is
the worst type of exploitation. Destroying their traditional religion.
If christianity is so great .. why are American Indians in USA, South Africa
the poorest and most exploited. Why are the Filippins the poorest in south east
Asia. Why are so many Christian countries in Africa the poorest of the poor.
Why christian missionaries do not open schools and feed hte poor there?
Venkat
PS: Those who talk about principles rarely practice them.

Hindoos are good people that people trying to convert
are still alive. They should thank Jesus that they
deal with Hindus.
Anyway Jesus couldn't help himself, what the hell he
will help the poor christians...
