Pak Priest Sacrifices 3 Daughters
A Hindu priest committed suicide after killing his three minor daughters, all under 6-year-old, to please Hindu goddess Kali Mata in Bhemomal area of Sind province on Tuesday.
According to police and eyewitnesses, religious rituals were regularly performed at the Kali Mata Temple established on the first floor of a house owned by Tekam Das Meghwar in Bhemomal. Reports say that Tekam Das Meghwar first slaughtered his three daughters, Parwati, 6-year-old, Reena, 4, and Aarti, 1, with a sharp knife and then slit his own throat to make Kali Mata happy.

What kind of religion is Hinduism that its followers sacrifice their own children to idols?
How come you’re not pointing fingers at this religion and condemning it and them for the ritualistic slaughter of three little girls, this *priests* own daughters, no less. What a great example of a loving Hindu father he is.
Why aren’t you? Are you only going to condemn Judaism based on one verse in the OT and cast dispersion on the entire religion based on one incident but totally ignore and excuse similar behavior when it happens in a non-Christian religion?
Just like you condemn all of Judaism based on one verse, you need to condemn all of Hinduism based on this priest.
Or own the label of hypocrite.
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.
