Hindu violence against Christians - when it occurs - is overwhelmingly by traditionalist villagers who feel threatened by ceaseless Christian proselytizing. Unlike Muslims, however, Hindus will often and loudly declare that Hinduism is a religion of genuine peace that in no way supports or justifies violence in it's name, to the the point of overwhelmingly recommending a non-violent and vegetarian life. This especially includes the critical renouncing - by virtually all Hindus - of any violence against Christians by Hindus, as against the Hindu teachings.
In contrast, find even one Muslim who will renounce Muslim violence - which also happens to be the declared teaching of Islam itself. The two are starkly opposite in philosophies.
Also, while against the forcefulness of "missionary work in the tradition of St. Paul," Hinduism does openly accept Jesus Christ as an incarnation of God. It simply also teaches that God has incarnated many times in many ways for the upliftment and saving of humanity, as well as all other sentient and nonsentient life in the universe.
So what the philosophical, religious and sociological problem is that the Hindus find with Christianity, is that while Hinduism acknowledges and accepts Christ, this acceptance and even worship is not enough for Christian missionaries, who demand the rejection of the Hindu philosophy that acknowledges a God who has come, and will come, as needed - not just once as Jesus Christ.
And so it is not hard to see how traditionalist Hindu villagers can come to see Christians as unreasonable and aggressively against their core beliefs, especially when it is put upon them for many years in their own villages.
That’s interesting. How is it you know so much about Hinduism? And Hinduism vs Christianity? Just wondering....
A belief system that accepts Christ as the incarnation of God and then allows for gods incarnated as monkeys and baboons makes a mockery of Catholicism and its central tenets. The clear fact is that Catholic belief posits itself as the one true religion. See below.
Of course you could dispute this, as do all the 20,000 plus other Christian sects as did the early pagans and today’s New Age followers.
So it is quite natural and logical that embrace of the Catholic faith must reject all other faiths as false. We do not believe the simplistic notion that “there are many paths to Heaven” because this would make the birth, death, and resurrection of the Christ meaningless. Why add one more path?
So long as missionary work is peacful, it is part of the fabric of democratic traditions that allow for freedom of worship and freedom of belief. If India’s Hindu communities cannot abide by this, then as an aspect of comity they ought not to be allowed the reciprocal benefits of practising their faith without interruption in western democracies. Yet, the constitutional structures of western societies are exploited by Hindu and Moslem faiths to set up religious centers here to practrice their faith, but this is not extended to Catholic Churches and missionaries to practice their faith- proclaiming the one True God- in other countries.
In short what you seek, is that for the Catholics to practice their faith, they must shed their core belief. This is a fallacy exposed by its own internal contradiction.
