Christian Missionaries And Their Obsession With Conversion.

reply to post by Androctonus

Thanks for posting, I agreed with you every religion has some elements of truth, that's why people get attracted towards them. Some religions have more truth due to their attachment with original and pure shamanic and other cultural traditions. And some have very little attachment to them, and hence have more lies and indoctrinations.
I think to experience spirituality, one has to look more towards ancient untouched cultures present around the world. And of course philosophical and scientific Ideologies, would definitely increase his understanding of the truth.
Thanks again for your rational, well put and thought-out reply.

jan 25th, 2009

this is how the republic is supporting 'secularism', ie. the eradication of hinduism. very appropriate on republic day.

thanks

There are always allegations about the missionary zeal of the Christian Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Y.S Rajasekhara Reddy or commonly known as YSR. But many times due to absence of hard evidence, these are often discarded as nothing more than chest-thumping.

For people who believe only in "evidences" here it is. its a collection of all the Government Orders (GO) by the Government of AP allotting funds to various Churches in AP. source of information is no secret either. It is the online portal of Govt of AP listing all the GOs it issued (the government portals are treasure houses of information; you just have to know how to dig out what you need). You can see the data in this page:


suryassk.googlepages.com...


The following is the summary of the data from that sheet:

1. The GO portal is active only from February 2008, hence the data given is only of 1 year (ie., Feb 2008 to Jan 2009). Note that although vast, it is by no means comprehensive (ie., I have shown Govt 263.07 lakhs to Christian institutions. This amount is the minimum spent on them, not the maximum).

2. But even for a single year, an amount of 263.07 lakhs was given as aid to various Christian institutions.

3. More than 258 churches benefited from these grants for construction/renovation of churches.

4. An amount of 1316.54 lakhs was given as aid to various Muslim institutions through Wakf boards.

5. Not a single GO granting any aid to a Hindu temple can be found. This in spite of the fact that in AP, the Hindu temples are managed by the Endowments Ministry (put it simply they take all the money which the temples generate).

6. Govt takes away all the money which Hindu temples generate, but do not grant a single penny to any of its temples. It does not touch the money from Christian and Muslim institutions, but grants them huge amounts of money.


I have always argued that the "Missionary Charity" is just a myth ( ssksurya.blogspot.com... ). These new evidence only reinforce my earlier points. I do not want to waste more words how the Christian CM of AP is perusing his missionary zeal not just through individual actions, but also through direct grants from the Government of AP. As I said, the facts speak louder. Let the reader judge for himself.

Why is this obsession of converting the religion of people.

Two things.

1 - Christianity at it's heart is EVANGELICAL in nature. The command from the very beginning was to go forth and bring the message of Jesus to people. So that is what they are doing. (or, I should say, that's what they think they are doing). It's an essential part of Christianity.

2 - Be it Christian or Muslim or Hindu or Amish or whatever .... people in each of the religions think they have it right and everyone else has it wrong, AND that others would be better off knowing 'the truth'. So much of the evangelization, by ANY of the religions, is people trying to 'help' others by bringing them to 'the truth'. They think they are doing something good.

ETA .... old thread ... I don't know if the OP is still around anymore ....

"First we had the land and they had the bible
they said "close our eyes and let us pray"
when we opened our eyes
we had the bible and they had the land."
