Just FYI, there is a lot of violence from the RSS towards christians. And there was a day when Ghandi came on the radio in India and told the hindus all across the nation that they should kill muslims. That was in the early stages of the big killing spree of 48 when perhaps a million people were killed in muslim/hindu violence. The violence was in its' early stages, most of the violence had been committed by muslims at that time, ghandi came on the radio nationwide and called for the killing of muslims in retaliation. Then, 3-4 days later Ghandi was crying into the radio microphone about peace and non-violence. I read this from an historian who wrote in National Review. There was a big book out in the 80's about ghandi. He stood for peace yes, but one day he didn't stand for peace. ghandi is human like anyone else. So are the hindus and it happens that some hindus are militants and commit terrible violence against christians.

Dont betray your ignorance about Gandhi, India and Christainity in India. Your concocted tripe about "terrible violence against christians" has no basis in facts and is probably an attempt to gather sympathy. Let me also tell you that this is a favourite Marxist technique.

Get this straight, child of grace with a tinpot face. Your friend cooper had no business preaching in India while he was on a tourist visa. A tourist visa doesnt allow anyone to preach. Thats the law of the land. In the US of A , a similar offence would have merited a jail term. He violated the law of the land (a bad karma) but no grace was enough to save him.

I'm crying into my bacon sandwich (but I'm still saved by grace).
I'd love to continue this jihad but I actually have to get ready for work now.
I will pray for you, dear akash.

"I will pray for you, dear akash " A waste to time. Anyway both of us are scheduled to go to Allah's hell. Bye see you there.

So I guess the starving children in India are all paying for "bad karma" in a prior existence...

Wow. A Christian lady cant even enjoy her bacon sandwich for breakfast without getting insulted by Upanishad thumpers. Was I forcing my sandwich on you?? Anyway, my high cholesterol diet will make me nice and sizzly in hell, which is where I supposedly am going according to this thread.

With all due respect, you started in against Hinduism while munching your sandwich, that is why you got some opposing comments.
Ultimately divine grace will save us, but I don't think that means the law of karma is out the window. If I went out tomorrow and killed some people, then prayed to Jesus for redemption tomorrow night, would I be in better standing than a Hindu or a Buddhist who prays to God using a different name but never hurts anyone?
To: AEROSMITH
well, my comments were not really meant to be a negative comment on India or even Mahadma Gonedi. I meant to comment on how so many people take seriously ghandi's non-violent ideology even though it is pure garbage. There is a time and a place for violence. In 48 Gonedi saw a time and a place for violence, and he advocated it on a mass scale. Then he regretted it within days and publicly apologized. It is so amazing how people in the west and people in India fawn over gonedi's image and build it up. When it is so false.

You guys never ping me to the fun discussions anymore. I found this one by accident. If I didn't know any better (?) I'd think you disliked me;-)
