Why The Fanaticism Of Christians Is Connived At?

There's
No Hue And Cry over Two Cases of Religious Exclusivity Involving Christians
-----
In these
fissiparous times when Hindus and Muslims are under scanner for their
escalating fanaticism, the rabid religiosity of Christianity gets snowed under
the avalanche of hateful crimes, perpetrated by these two aggressive
communities.
But,
there's no hue and cry over two cases of religious exclusivity involving
Christians who hail from Tamil Nadu. In the first case, a Christian
headmistress refused to salute the Tricolour arguing that except for god, she
won't salute anyone else. And in the second episode, one Christian teacher
unfurled the flag with a note: Jesus, bless the country. Mind you, both are
teachers. What rubbish values they inculcate in the minds of their pupils? Only
their Jesus knows!
Had a
Muslim refused to sing Vande Matram, he'd have been branded a traitor. But
here, a Christian headmistress is so adamant about her Christian beliefs that
she refuses to salute the flag. Yet, there's not much reaction.
Agreed,
Christians don't resort to blatantly violent activities, but they're also
religious zealots, albeit in a 'refined' manner.
Once I
taught at a Seminary of Biblical Studies in western India. They initially
requested me to teach Comparative Religions but soon they subtly started suggesting
that I should teach Comparative Religions with respect to Christianity and not
only that, with an emphasis on a specific sect of Christianity that would
enable its followers to attain Salvation!
Disgusted,
I told the authority that I just came to teach religions and not highlight any
specific Christian sect. I didn't teach there.
If Muslims
are known for their flagrant ways, Christians are known for their insidious
activities.
The
proselytising activities of Islam are condemned but the rampant cases of
clandestine conversion of tribal, poor people and needy ones to Christianity by
the cunning missionaries often go unreported.
What have
been missionaries doing in the North East or in the poor districts of Orissa?
Visit Ahmednagar, known as the Miniature Yerusalem of India, in Maharashtra.
Every third person, mostly from backward class, is a Christian, having names
such as William Korde or Shakespeare Bhong!
I've come
across Christians who're so obsessed with their PUTATIVE Jesus that to them
(Christians), only Jesus is the true god and all other gods and deities are
false. In fact, Christianity is so disdainful of other faiths and their gods
that according to the Bible, King James Version ( KJV also called KJB, King
James Bible, commissioned in 1604 and published in 1611 for the church of
England), only the Christian god is God and others (esp. Pagan deities) are
gods. Christian God must be written in upper case and other gods in lower case.
So, now when you write God and not god, remember, you're unknowingly succumbing
to the God of the Bible and genuflecting before it.
Writing God
is not a grammatical compulsion, it's a Biblical diktat which the world has
been following unknowingly for centuries. Stop writing God. You're unwittingly
concurring with the edicts of Christianity.
That apart,
Christians openly laugh at Hindu gods and goddesses and call their Jesus as the
Sole ( and also soul) Saviour of Mankind. My foot!
They
concocted Trinity (the garbage of The Father, Son and Holy Ghost) which's a Semitic
theo-manifestation of Hinduism's Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh.
It's time
to book these Christians as well for their subterranean religious activities
and insulting the Tricolour.
