"<BR/><BR/>So are you justifying that one can go ahead and find poor people and preach to them whatever they want? Now you will say no one is forcing them. I can tell you the case where before giving money/food to these poor people, they are asked to chant "Jesus is great". I have personally witnessed this. <BR/><BR/>And who told you that there are no hindu organizations providing charity?<BR/><BR/>I am not against christians and christianity. I grew up in catholic school and my best friends are catholics. But Lets call spade a spade.<BR/><BR/>-- IshuAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16244874.post-1140072540165091082006-02-15T22:49:00.000-08:002006-02-15T22:49:00.000-08:00I agree with you that some of the missionaries ind...I agree with you that some of the missionaries indulge in money-for-conversion tactics. But why can't Hindu organizations provide this relief to the poor familes? Christian Missionaries do good charity, even if it is for conversion, and again not always is the case. They build schools and hospitals, they give cloths and shelter so why don't you see this good things?Shinu Mathewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16221292281555891671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16244874.post-1140056478861818252006-02-15T18:21:00.000-08:002006-02-15T18:21:00.000-08:00Well, personally not being a fan of VHP or Bajrang...Well, personally not being a fan of VHP or Bajrang Dal, but the fact and the reality is that there are many christian missionaries even in Mumbai who do what they are accused of. Right, they offer money to poor people and press them to convert to christianity.<BR/><BR/>Preaching is freedom of speech and choosing to convert is again a freedom of every individual but some missionaries go beyond thier preaching. I have seen that myself. I wonder why talking about forced preaching is consider non-secular. If VHP and RSS are bad, these missionaries are equally bad. One use violence, other use money.<BR/><BR/>-- IshuAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
