That being said, I note that the Leftist media will be aghast at the awful Christian who engaged in such slander. Meanwhile, the same Leftist media is likely to ask a Christian:
"What is your stance on Evolution?"
"How old is the Earth?"
etc.
The "wrong" answer will brand the Christian as "stupid" and "anti-science".
Would the Leftist media ask a Hindu about their thousands of gods? About reincarnation? About Vishnu and the destruction of worlds?
Nope.
It's only OK to pick on Christians. If you turn it around and pick on "the other guy" then you're just a Hater.
One way I look at it is, the Christian church is alive and well in India. I think India has true religious freedom, and when you have true religious freedom, you have to tolerate a lot of crazy cults. The most theologically advanced and the most backward and superstitious nation on earth, all at the same time.
“I agree that Hindus are not a problem, and I would not attack a Hindu.”
I disagree. When they call my house twice a month telling me they are microsoft and that my windows computer is throwing errors their way I let them have it. Insulting Shiva is the only way I’ve ever gotten a negative reaction from them.
