[QUOTE=Pandara;55065]You forgot, I live in South Africa, my country has one of the highest crime, rape and murder rates in the world. It has already happened to me, my sister and my mother - we accept our karma, give praise and thanks, forgive and move on, that is how we were taught as Christians! We can see that bad things happen to us due to the sins of our fathers and we accept that! Can you? It seems not.
I have two jewish friends, their understanding is exactly that was the sins of their fathers or past karmas that led to this. Perhaps in europe jews might be more in denial than in SA.
Then i be rather left where I am than to see it from your perspective where what’s good for the goose is not good for the gander in your books.[/QUOTE]
Lol, the doctrine of sin is the most illogical one on the planet.
No, you are not a “sinner” because of your ancestry, because some mythological event that took place in a mythical garden in your fairy tale book, or because humans are inherently evil.
You are a “sinner” because of desire and ignorance. You are a “sinner” because although we are inherently divine, societal constructs adulterate our divine nature. Bad things happen to us for the same reasons.
We can forgive and forget only so many times. We can forgive Christians for what they have done to India and the world only so many times before you decide enough is enough, before you realize that Christians have not grown out of their ignorance for 2000 years, that Christians have not learned and repented but still continue to defame other traditions and militantly convert ignorant and poor masses to their damned demonic, illogical, and immoral religion.
And I hate to break it, but praying to your desert god doesn’t solve problems with respect to time. Time is neutral. It can be used constructively or destructively and it is entirely within your hands to control the choices you make, to shape your destiny as you will.
With that said, the persecution of Hindus won’t end because of your imaginary magician or his desert god father. It will end through the actions we take here and now. It will end through strong and persistent action against Christian/Western bigotry, racism, intolerance, and bias.
You your kin have quite a few choices; recognize the faults in your religion and reform it, or remain the ignorant fools you have been for 2k years. Help us, or fight against us with all your bias you have against pagans and heathens.
In the end, Truth will triumph.
Then your Jewish friends have problems and need to grow out of their desert religion mentality.
The same applies to you too.
