As much condemnable child-slaughter is, the act by the priest is not in keeping with Hinduism, or the teachings of its scripture, the Gita, in any way or form. The reason why I raised the issue about 1 Samuel 15: 3 in that thread was that Steelfish was trying to paint Hindus as vile child-killers, based on that single, statistically insignificant incident. On top of that, he deviously cut out the part in that very same article, which mentioned the local Hindus declaring the “priest”’s act as immoral and counter to Hindu values.
The Admin Moderator re-edited Steelfish’s post, to undo that deception. Go look at that thread again.
Please refer to the context, and don’t paste labels blindly.
Coming back to the topic at hand, neither of you have yet provided a rational explanation for how you reconciled with 1 Samuel 15:3, yet.
You just implied that either
a) some child-slaughter is not condemable
or
b) some child-slaughter is in keeping with Hinduism, or the teachings of the Gita.
Re-check your grammar.
Note the lack of cheap shots.
But since you raised the question: what was this dude's rationale (by his own account) for the killing? Are there any subsects within Hinduism which promote this kind of thing (thinking here of the Thuggees death cult by way of analogy).
Cheers!
