This is not a debate on religions I am just quoting to you verbatem what Jesus said not what I said.

Hindus have done Christian persecution as you will see many links providing you that info on this thread.

I am not condemning your for your belief in Hindusim but if you say you beleive in Jesus then you have a responsibility of knowing what he said and what he did not say.

"Hindus have done Christian persecution as you will see many links providing you that info on this thread. "

--Yes I have seen those. Christian propagandist sites citing a few examples of random attacks on christians by stray lunatics is hardly worthy of the comment "Hindus have done Christian persecution". Search the internet for Hindu propagandist sites and you will get plenty of "Christian atrocities on Hindus".I live in India and take my words for it ....both these are far from reality.

If you choose to see the larger picture you will find that the majority of Hindus and Christians have lived far more peacefully in India (for centuries) than they have in most other parts of the world.

Its easy to be blinded by a few articles and loose site of the historical fact that (as I have said in my previous post) when Christians and Jews were being purged under Roman Empire, India under Hindu rule gave them shelter.

There is no part of the world where hate crimes have not occured and on whatever pretext. More so in case of countries with a lot of diversity. Even in America hate crimes have been committed on Indians after 9/11 but we dont call it persecution. I never said that attacks on christians donot happen in India but they are committed by a lunatic fring minority and in no way reflect or represent the mood of the majority of the Hindus.

You will find several Indian Christians at FR. Do find out from them what they have to say about Hindus. There opinion would be more reliable then those links you are talking about.

--No debate but I will just tell you a little bit about my religion.

Hinduism is a very different religion from Christianity.  For example there are billions of gods in Hinduism and Christ is just one of them, so is Budda, Krisna and Mohammed and we believe there will be more to come. I do not completely know what most of them say (nobody does) but i am allowed to learn about everyone of them without prejudice and have the freedom to apply my judgement and accept the crux of what any of the gods have to say.

In Hinduism I am allowed to completely believe, partly believe or entirely reject his or her teaching even if he or she happens to be my god. This is because of the fact that Hinduism is founded on logical reasoning. In Hinduism even divine words are open to contrary opinion, thought or argument.

 

With regard to your comment:
"if you say you beleive in Jesus then you have a responsibility of knowing what he said and what he did not say."

 

In Hinduism one can only achieve the status of godhood not by what he/she says but by what he/she does in his/her life. And hence I consider Jesus as god.
