[QUOTE=Surya Deva;45811]I think you are right, Indra Deva does come across as being racist. To call infanticide and abortion the crime of one people is racist. The repeated links that Indra Deva posts to anti-Hindu and anti-Indian web sites is further proof of the same.

I have posted links to anti-Christian or anti-west or anti-white web sites, so I cannot be accused of being racist.

I am not sure what Indra Deva’s racial background is. He is either a self-hating Indian or a white supremist who believes in the Aryan race myths, hence why he tries to pass of Hinduism as something which is not Vedic or Yogic.[/QUOTE]

To post links that intelligently attempt to argue in favor or against something, regardless of their content in most cases (as is the case with your links) is one thing. To post links to obvious propaganda sites that appeal to one’s emotions and make them lean towards one viewpoint is another. The latter case is what Indra does.

I suspect he is another Westerner chauvinist who is deeply into Yoga but hates its roots and seeks to undermine or destroy them.

More propaganda? I love you how prove your own stupidity and racism with every passing post (in addition to confirming SD’s and my convictions). The fact that you waste time looking for these websites just proves the intellectual inferiority of Christianized Westerners like you.

The fact that you waste time looking for these websites just proves the intellectual inferiority of Christianized Westerners like you.

A person on a message board makes an alleged anti-Hindu post, and allegedly wastes his time.

Therefore it proves the “intellectual inferiority of Christianized Westerners.”

I must bow to your mastery of logic. Never could I have drawn such a conclusion or made such a brilliant sillygism to prove a point.

But I think I get it now:

I saw a dog today with only three legs.

Therefore all dogs have only three legs.

Is that the idea? I hope I’m on the right track with this logic business. I hope to learn more about it from you guys.

Yeah, he is not doing a very good job of not not coming across as a racist. Oh well, it is to his own detriment. He will be branded as a racist by the good objective readers on this forum and lose respect.

I think Indra Deva is an alias of that other member who loved to post anti-Hindu and anti-India web sites. His name alludes me right now :smiley:

Just more proof that Christians suck, even if he isn’t a Christian himself.

[I]That [/I] person makes [I]several[/I] posts with anti-Hindu comments and links to anti-Hindu websites and articles and thus wastes his time doing so.

Therefore, it does prove the intellectual inferiority of Christianized Westerners like him, who employ the [I]exact same tactics that he does.[/I]

I must bow to your mastery of sarcasm. Never before have I seen such mockery.

Don’t worry. These guys are so busy pointing out everyone else’s eye splinters they are in complete ignorance of the logs in their own.

That & they’re raging hypocrites. Westerners are all racists while they or Hindus could never be, they talk about the imaginary gods of the West, meanwhile their gods are there to listen to their prayers, their religion is valid and ancient w/o measure while others are invalid and evil…

They’re only preaching to themselves, they’ll figure it out some day. So consumed with fixing the outside… :frowning:

I am alive and well, thank you. But why are you asking your Hindu friend about me?

Anyway…what seems strange to me is that whenever someone criticizes Hinduism, you blame Christians, or make it seem as though that perceived unfairness is coming from a Christian, yet that poster does not seem to be a Christian, and so far has not (to my knowledge) shared his faith. So how logical or fair is it to blame Christians for whatever he posts?

You might as well blame Christians for the next tornado or earthquake.

Also you make broad sweeping statements about “all Christians” and ascribe the behavior of a few to the entire body of believers, which is as unfair as calling Muslims terrorists because of of some who are terrorists. And I’m sure there must be Hindus somewhere whose behavior is not exemplary, and it would be unfair to blame all for the deeds of a few. And it would especially be unfair to blame the religion itself because of someone who did not live according to its standards.

If you find out I robbed a bank, don’t blame the Catholic Church for robbery. The Church tells me NOT to steal, and is not to blame for my disobedience.

Incorrect. I blame the negative influence of [I]Christianity[/I], that is so pervasive in America, and influence of the puerile [I]Western media[/I] (which greatly exaggerates things) that causes others who criticize Hinduism to regurgitate the same old bigoted and baseless arguments against Hinduism.

Christians are people who follow the organized religion aspects of Christianity in addition to whatever “Christian” values it may teach (which are not even “Christian”; if you are human, you are capable of expressing humility, love, etc). If people disassociate themselves from these organized religion aspects of it, retain these other “Christian” values, mix in secular humanistic ideals, and go around calling themselves “true” Christians, they are not Christians. All Christians (if you agree with my sensible definition of what a Christian is), for example, are Antisemitic in the traditional sense of Jews having killing Jesus. If they do not believe so, then they are not Christians, in the sense of organized religion (which is what ultimately makes Christianity, Christianity). So, those sweeping generalizations I make are [I]realistic[/I].

Now you may disagree with me and say religions change with fluctuating circumstances. This is where Abrahamic religions fail. Their religious systems and beliefs are inflexible with the changing times and it has been seen throughout history that those who separate themselves from it entirely (and not add things here and there like Mormonism), eventually become those deistic/secular humanists.

By the way, it is obvious that you are Silly Davie. “He” uses the same lines that you and I have (your line of “The Evil West” which is “his” location, and my line of “formulate this syllogism”), mocks SD’s and my posts in a manner that reflects the exact reasons why you refute them, and uses the exact same avatar as Surya Deva’s. Even his name is a play on words (with large stretches here and there) of Surya Deva.
