Re: Hindu man here - hello dear christians

1. I never claimed I'm a superior being to anyone here.

I think that accepting that you are inferior might help. How is it possible to treat someone who spurns the Only God as an equal?

2. I did the right thing by acting defensive when some of you started verbally abusing my religion and beliefs.

It is not possible to defend the indefensible.

I was simply trying to be respectful and understand your beliefs and faith without questioning or criticising them.

I don’t know about you cow worshipers, but The Only God tells us that we should kill unbelievers or at the very least ignore them. Nowhere does He say, “Your view is as valid as Mine” because, quite simply, it is not.

You may think that being “all-inclusive” is a good thing. You may think that maintaining composure is the way to make contacts; but is this not the sweet-talking ways that Satan uses? The siren voices in the night? The “reasonable man” approach that ends with the gravest sin? The approach of the snake-oil salesman?

3. You can disagree with my faith but why can't you be a bit nice when a guest comes to your forum to have a meaningful conversation with you? Read that. N I C E.

I’ve just answered that one! Please read what I write.

4. Treat me like a foreign ambassador or messenger who is temporarily staying in your kingdom. And, I promise not to hurt your Christian feelings.

You come here espousing cow-worship, try and introduce thuggery, suggest that Karma is like Christianity and a hundred other heretical ideas and you want to be treated like some honored guest? Amazing!
Have you been to visit your local Baptist Chruch yet? Have you prayed to Jesus for His Love to enter your wizened soul?
I simply have no idea how you could live a life not believing in God.

Re: Hindu man here - hello dear christians

I don't believe you are a bad person. You merely believe in a religion that has immoral beliefs as I do.

It's not about following our faith dogmatically. It's about choosing the good things we can from different beliefs. Oh heck, most of those things are innate within us. Some might even argue we don't need an organized belief system to know what is right.

Now it's time for me to run away before I get yet another infraction.

The biggest error is to believe Hinduism is an organized belief system. It is not. Although some political parties in India would claim otherwise for their own personal interests.

Hinduism does not have a single Prophet, rule-book or finite set of beliefs like other world religions: Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Buddhism. In fact, the very word "Hindu" itself is a corruption of a Persian word "Sindhu" which means the Indus river. The term has been in use since the 11th century but you'll never find the word in any scriptures.

It would be again wrong to assume that Hindus have a wrong moral compass. Most of us don't. We follow the same set of ethical principles as others while not believing in a Personal God.

Yes, we do have fringe elements which are violent and highly superstitious. But, they don't represent the rest of us. It's just a historical coincidence (more of an error) that they belong to the same umbrella term 'Hinduism" as us.

How would anyone think that something that came out of India was 'organized'?

OK, how about let's not talk about MY religion at all. You can simply ignore that topic. You can only choose to talk about your own religion. That way both our concerns are being addressed. Why must you necessarily attack my religion when I don't even want to talk about it, here?

In fact, I didn't came here to preach at all. I just gave an introduction about myself.

I did those things because some of your forum members asked me questions on those topics. It was not my intention to preach to you.

Have you been to visit your local Baptist Chruch yet? Have you prayed to Jesus for His Love to enter your wizened soul?

Well. Thank you for your offer. But, for the present time, the answer is No.

See. I'm being quite respectful to your offer

Re: Hindu man here - hello dear christians

I have to say first off that I am not a part of this church nor would I ever want to be. secondly I have always been fascinated by the Indian culture and religion. I grew up with several friends that were Indian and both they and their parents were fine people. As a matter of fact I don't think I have ever met an impolite indian. My friends and their familys were Brahman as well and they were very kind hearted, charitable people. I wish you good luck in finding what you are looking for from this group. I think you are going to need it!

Re: Hindu man here - hello dear christians

You should probably remove that "just a regular nice guy" from your title coz you're not being nice to me at all. I'm not your enemy and you could easily tone down that unwanted rhetoric.

I think you need to re-read your previous posts and see all the unwarranted hate you have been spewing. If you were Christians, you would know better.

I for one, have just about had it with you people. For now on, I am going to treat your fellow country people like you have treated us, with suspicion and mis-trust.

You dots are just like the heebs, always claiming to be victims as you rob us.

Is this what you give to someone who desires to act in good faith? Christian or not, you have no concept of forgiveness, charity or mercy.

I forgot to add reconciliation. This makes me feel superior to you in some ways. Who is the greater person now?

Thank you. I'm just trying to imagine the outcome if they lock me in a reality television show for 72 hours with some of the members here on this forum.

We here at Landover are the greater people, because we will not be damned to an eternity in hell for choosing to worship false gods. I sincerely hope you see the error of your ways before it's too late.

What can you possibly do to me in the first 72 seconds itself? That sounds a bit scary.

I can assure you any form of physical violence would not begin from my side. Although, there's a high probability I would feel compelled to stand my ground in self-defence.

Do they presently allow guns and knives in reality shows of America? I'd rather stick to an Indian reality show.

Not you.

I do not need to 'blow my own horn' and falsely build up my self esteem. It certainly explains your love of gold chains. I stand tall solely because I know I live my life according to Gods plan.

You really sadden me, just like the little urchins in the gutters of your streets. Pitiful.
