There is a saying in India : Those who live in glass houses, shouldnt throw stones at others. Think about it.
You seem to think that only you have the right to criticize other religions in a highly abrasive and deprecating manner, while turning a blind eye to your own side's fallacies ?
Isnt it a fact that the southern baptists said they had religious approval for propagating and sustaining the sickening and highly barbaric institution of slavery ??
Isnt it a fact that they split from the mainline Baptist church, solely in order to sustain this inhuman and highly revolting practice of dehumanizing black people ?
Isnt it a fact that they didnt even apologize for their not-too-insignificant role in sustaining this evil abominance till early 1990s ????
Isnt it a fact that racial segregation was sanctioned by many white southern churches, even while Rev. King was fighting against it ?
Just look at American society today, people still are very segregated and usually people of each race stick to one another.. compared to India, where Hindus, Christians and Sikhs get along very well, atleast in Urban society, in US, its hard to find whites, blacks and hispanics get along that well along the same lines even in big cities.
BTW, why is it that wherever there was/is apartheid and racial segregation, there is Christianity... is that a mere coincidence sir ? If christianity indeed is so peaceful and tolerant, why was most of Africa and Latin America colonized by "bible thumping" christians, who later propagated apartheid and racial discrimination in the countries they occupied ?
dude..what crap are you smoking...if you dislike the US soo much then get out of my country. stop this mad ranting against americans. nobody is keeping you here against your will. grow up...
Isnt it a fact that racial segregation was sanctioned by many white ......
nucking futs.....you need to check out the civil war in the 1860s when thousands of americans died fighting AGAINST slavery. or maybe the second world war where this country fought the nazis. can you quote similar examples from your own history?
First of all, I'm a ma'am.
Secondly, introspect what? I've examined the issue, even studied Hinduism briefly - considered becoming a Hindu. You presume I haven't examined this issue just because I hold a different opinion than you? That's rather closed minded.

Please reference the post where I ever said that.

I know that there were some who attempted to use the bible to support legal slavery, and there were those who used the bible to show that slavery is wrong.

Yep. Slavery was immoral. Doesn't change the fact that the caste system is immoral. Surely you aren't trying to say that two wrongs make a right, are you?

I know for a fact they have their incidents, just as we do here. Please don't be so disingenous as to try to paint India with a utopian brush.

Again, it's ma'am.
And please post where I ever said it was 'coincidence'.
