I'm not an expert on Chritianity so I can't speak of the logical errors pointed out in the article by Freepers. The specific point you made on conversion I find logical. But I definitely do not think that the writer is a neo-Nazi or anything of that sort. On the contrary, I think he's what some on FR ( In this case not me) would call a liberal, or even someone who holds (Indian) nationalism over religion.

Well, if he does hold nationalism over religion that's his choice. However, the neo Nazi groups like the RSS who want to destroy India's pluralistic culture and create some macabre mono Culture should do the same. It ticks me off that slamofascists come here and say that we should allow them to practise their religion and don't do the same in SAud and Pak.
Now, I'm not saying India is like that, on the contrary from what info I've got from folks it is more open. But if the RSS get's it's way then it will not allow any other religion to be practised. That would really really bug me.
This is an issue I think all Indians who are concerned with their country should be working about -- promote nationalism by all means but don't trample on the rights of the minorities (how much is the percentage of Hindus in India? 85%? And Christians? 2%?)
