Re: Hindu man here - hello dear christians

I’m not going to reply to all your superficial points; I will address a few.

You're sticking to your guns for the sake of it. I never asked you to adopt the Law of Karma because of its religious aspect. It may be considered for its purely metaphysical beauty alone. I did not ever ask you to dawdle in your faith. You just want to hate a different belief system for the sake of it. You have no appreciation for the thousands of years of civilisation that built these values different from yours. I'm sure You have little appreciation for things that make life beautiful, say a beautiful painting except in your own perverted manner of demonising others beliefs. If you claim otherwise, it makes you an even bigger bigot.


Like a child who keeps to his favourite toys, or the proverbial frog in a well, you lead a deluded existence with an extreme superiority complex to boot. Out of touch with realities, insensitive to unfolding realities that take place in everyone's daily lives. I would absolutely hate to share your mindset or exchange my brain with yours. I'd sooner hold a gun next to my head than think like you. With all my disgust and repulsion for the person you are, learn some f ucking tolerance before you kick the bucket, old man.

Hey Mr. Hindoo. Do you eat people?

Re: Hindu man here - hello dear christians

I notice you never answered my question, friend.

If you asked in a light vein, the answer is Yes

Are you a virgin? That would make a very useful human sacrifice for Goddess Kali. I want to be blessed with immortality through your young Christian blood.

Happy?

Getting kind of personal aren't we Mr Sand Nigra? Lycia is a good girl now, sure at one time she was a whore. She has found Jesus.

For once, I don't mind earning some "negative" Karma if I can give my piece of mind to these bigoted nutjobs. Later, I can always find something more positive to swing good Karma in my favour.

So much for Hinnidos being so darned tolerant.

Re: Hindu man here - hello dear christians

Just as you accepted the privilege of being born to White American parents in a country where Whites are the majority and richest demographic?
People living in glass houses...

Not at all. First, while white people are the largest single demographic, they are not the majority. Second, I'm mixed-race, part Native American.

Finally, God knew me before I was born. He decided where I would be born and to whom. That is nothing at all like karma.

Not all Christians. Here's the official position on race at the Landoverbaptist forum

http://www.landoverbaptist.net/showthread.php?p=505253#post505253

Some of your proud Christian comrades want to bring back slavery http://www.landoverbaptist.net/showt...hlight=slavery

Again, people living in glass houses...

Slavery applies to people of all races. Maybe you should read the Bible and understand Biblical slavery. Parents often sold their children into slavery; it had nothing to do with race.

Indians aren't atheistic in a Western sense. Many visit temples. But, most urban Indians are ignorant about their own religion. Money is a major driving force in their lives, something which makes me very sad.

There is only one sense that one is atheistic. It means not believing that there are gods. That's the only sense. Please do not misuse words and expect us to understand you.

First of all, I would like to say even if you're a true Christian, your beliefs in Karma should not hurt your present relationship with God. God should know the matters of the heart and won't have to hate you for a mere belief.

Karma is preconditioned upon reincarnation. The Bible expressly states there is no such thing. Karma, therefore, is anti-Christian.

Let me reiterate the major difference between Hinduism and Christianity. Christianity is a dogmatic "faith"-based religion with a monolithic God-like entity. Being Christian, you insist that all your beliefs should come from a rule-book called the Bible. But, you don't really follow this in principle.

We follow it in principle and in the letter of God's Law.

It doesn't matter whether the belief of Karma has a pagan (Hindu) origin. There are thousands of beliefs in your life which didn't originate with Christianity and were not explicitly mentioned in the Bible. You still believe in them against your will - heck, you even enjoy revelling in such beliefs. As do all humans on Earth, including every Christian.

Supposing, you are prejudiced against Blacks, that's a "belief" which you acquired through experience or intuition. While walking, you prefer crossing the street from left instead of right - that too is a "belief". Fact of the matter is, you have internalised these beliefs to such an extent that you didn't even notice whether or not you're supposed to refer Bible for guidance.

Um, no.

Prejudice is not a belief. It may be founded upon beliefs, but is not in itself a belief.

A preference in how one crosses a street is not a "belief". It is a habit.

Sorry, try again.

Back to the Law of Karma. It's somewhat analogous to Newton's Third Law of Motion in Physics. "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction"; "every cause has an effect". Now, let me ask you a question: Do you believe in Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Assuming your belief in Newton's 3rd law is deep enough, the laws of Karma could be treated as a logical extension of the same. While Newton's law govern the motion of particles in the physical realm, the Law of Karma analogously applies to the Spiritual realm. The Law of Karma is simply a "cause-effect" trajectory of your life.

Every good and noble action yields a positive result and gives you good Karma. Every wicked action gives you the opposite.

If you're healthy, happy and cheerful today, it's certainly your good Karma for a period of time (it could be anything from a few hours to days and years, and even the past life) which produced the current positive attitude. If you're angry, bitter and resentful at the moment, just try to recollect what you did wrong. This is what we call "introspection". All Human beings, including Christians, constantly introspect the past to see where they went wrong.

Yes, I understand the basics. However, once again, Karma is preconditioned upon reincarnation. Since you're so keen on comparing your mythology to science, please show me the scientific evidence that reincarnation occurs.

It cannot be denied that the past does shape your present and future. Where are you employed today? At a church as a pastor? How the hell did you land there? What events in the past influenced your present stage in life?

My choices and God's guidance brought me here, not some magical "Karma" from imaginary "past lives".

Let's compare Karma to the DNA of a human being. The DNA only gives you a picture of the physical reality. It doesn't explain the personality differences between two individuals, their likes and dislikes and more. Every human being is rubber-stamped with a unique persona comprising intellect, likes and dislikes, prejudices and various subtle attitudes. Where do they originate? There has to be a source, an originating force which makes a person what he is.

Experience, not "Karma". People make their choices based upon their experiences, they are not caused by magical external forces.

Without going further on the metaphysics of the Law of Karma (you can read plenty of articles on this subject on your own), I can suggest a practical method for you to experience the law first hand. Just like you may have learnt Newton's third law of motion after conducting some experiments in your Physics lab.

For next eight days, be a very nice person, I mean even nicer than what you are. Help the old lady at the bus stop, say "thank you" and "please" to every person that comes your way, promise yourself not to be upset for even a moment and try to be as charitable as nice as possible. If possible, don't consume any meat or animal products in this time span.

Take notes in a diary on all your good deeds. Try to notice the good things which happen in your life due to the Law of Karma. Try to plot a graph for the same.

For another eight days, be a complete asshole. Push down the old lady at the supermarket when she's pushing her preachey, cuss and scream at every stranger, down yourself into alcohol and cigarettes, meat, marijuana - whatever you can lay your hands on. Steal, rob, if you can - let go of all your civility.

Of course, stay legal. I don't want you to get arrested for these experiments. But, simply be the most loathsome character you always wanted to be.

I'm a Christian, fool. I would not do these horrible deeds you suggest. But I see that you, as a Hindu, lack God and the moral compass He provides and are thus willing to suggest that I sin before God to prove that people won't be pleasant toward me if I'm rude to them.

Wow, how scientific!

The Bible states that every Christian is judged based on their actions and belief in Jesus. However, what happens to the infant who died at birth? The ignorant seven-year old who died in a car accident without being baptised? What was their fault? Individuals like these didn't have the maturity, intelligence,time and reasoning to internalise faith in Jesus. However, at the same time, all these individuals had a unique spiritual trajectory which shaped their character, convictions and events in life. If there was a God, why did he simply send them to Earth, experience so much pain as a mortal, and die. Only to be condemned to Hell for the reasons provided on this forum.

I see you do not comprehend Original Sin. All humans are, by nature, sinful and condemned to an eternity of torture in God's Lake of Fire. Only those who beg forgiveness for their depraved nature and cease sinning can be Saved.

To summarise, you may choose to believe in the Law of Karma or you may not. It should not affect your status as a True Christian. If so, it can be well said you're solely motivated by denialism.

I have already explained to you a number of times that Karma is predicated upon reincarnation, which is an anti-Christian belief. It is not possible to believe in your Hindu Karma and be a Christian.

Re: Hindu man here - hello dear christians

Not at all. First, while white people are the largest single demographic, they are not the majority.

It's not a question of majority and minority. It's a question of privilege - either you have it or you don't. Numbers are irrelevant.

Second, I'm mixed-race, part Native American.

I think you can pass for White in America. Although, what I was trying to suggest many people could be born with some fine privileges at the expense of others. If I'm enjoying my share, where's the harm?

Finally, God knew me before I was born. He decided where I would be born and to whom. That is nothing at all like karma.

Let's go by your logic for a moment. You say God knew you before you were born. By that logic, God should have known me as well before I was born. So, why did he send you to a staunch Christian household and me to an overly Hindu environment where Churches exist only in picture books and television? Why does he ensure I'm very happy with my present life as a Hindu?

Unless we're connected with events in the past life, I don't buy your present argument on God knowing us before we are born...at least not in your logical sense.

Slavery applies to people of all races. Maybe you should read the Bible and understand Biblical slavery. Parents often sold their children into slavery; it had nothing to do with race.

You missed the other part of that quote. I gave you the official position on "race" at this gay discussion forum. Doesn't sound very tolerant to me. You can also go up and down this thread. Lots of racist remarks thrown at me. One of your comrade even objects to race-mixing. Hindu caste system has identical concepts which doesn't sit well with you. Talk of hypocrisy.

There is only one sense that one is atheistic. It means not believing that there are gods. That's the only sense. Please do not misuse words and expect us to understand you.

God(s) in plural? I hope that was a typo on your part.

Karma is preconditioned upon reincarnation. The Bible expressly states there is no such thing. Karma, therefore, is anti-Christian.

I have read the Bible. I don't recall a verse which says anything AGAINST reincarnation. You can say the concept does not exist. I interpret it this way - the Bible does not have anything explicitly against reincarnation as it does against, say idol worship.

You can probably Google "Reincarnation + Christianity". Some interesting reads.

We follow it in principle and in the letter of God's Law.

Good for you, but I'm not concerned about your religious beliefs. Stay close to the point.

Um, no.

Prejudice is not a belief. It may be founded upon beliefs, but is not in itself a belief.

A preference in how one crosses a street is not a "belief". It is a habit.

Sorry, try again.

Prejudices, preferences, beliefs whatever are deeply ingrained in you. They are coded into your brain somewhere deep. I don't want to split hairs but your present attitude is a reflection of your Karma.

Yes, I understand the basics. However, once again, Karma is preconditioned upon reincarnation. Since you're so keen on comparing your mythology to science, please show me the scientific evidence that reincarnation occurs.

You can Google it up again. I'm too lazy to do it for you.

My choices and God's guidance brought me here, not some magical "Karma" from imaginary "past lives".

Often, what we choose does not make what we become. There are forces in this universe at work which choose our life's direction. Let's agree to disagree on this point.

Experience, not "Karma". People make their choices based upon their experiences, they are not caused by magical external forces.

You have to read subtle expressions of life to feel those forces. Try it. Act on my suggestion.

I'm a Christian, fool. I would not do these horrible deeds you suggest. But I see that you, as a Hindu, lack God and the moral compass He provides and are thus willing to suggest that I sin before God to prove that people won't be pleasant toward me if I'm rude to them.

Wow, how scientific!

It's not about necessarily being rude to people. You may choose not to interact with people at all during these experiments. Just be rude and sullen with yourself. Hurt yourself alone.

It's just another experiment. What have you got to lose if you try?

I see you do not comprehend Original Sin. All humans are, by nature, sinful and condemned to an eternity of torture in God's Lake of Fire. Only those who beg forgiveness for their depraved nature and cease sinning can be Saved.

You still didn't clarify according to your own Christian logic, why is that particular child chosen to go to Hell based on the fact that he wasn't mature enough to receive Jesus?

I have already explained to you a number of times that Karma is predicated upon reincarnation, which is an anti-Christian belief. It is not possible to believe in your Hindu Karma and be a Christian.

Again, your mixing religion with another belief. I don't want you to give up on your Christian beliefs. But, it doesn't really hurt to open up your mind a bit more.

On the contrary, I don't have a problem if you disagree with me. I'll still respect your beliefs.
