Dear Qr:

Thank you for your note. I would like to explore some of the issues you brought up.
First, you indicated that Hindus are peaceful people. There are some reservations that must be made. The Hindu scriptures give us a conversation of Arjuna and Krishna having a conversation on his chariot in which Arjuna does not want to go to war against his cousins.
Krishna tells him that it is his caste duty since he is a KSHATRIYA. In the course of the conversation Krishna is transformed into Vishnu–which overwhelms Arjuna–and he requests the return to the form of Krisha. So, the caste duty as well as a couple of gods are urging him to fight his cousins.
The very fact that the second caste is a warrior caste has meaning for the vocation.

Second, you indicated you can believe in Christ, not Christianity, Buddha, not Buddhism, and Allah, but not Islam. Have you given up on the logic of contradiction? It makes more sense to say that all religions are false rather than saying all of them are true as your statement implies. They cannot all be true, but they could all be false. Buddha did not believe in god or gods. He rejected the Hindus on this point. There is no way of saying that Mohammed and Jesus taught the same thing. This can be true only if you reject the laws of non-contradiction in logic. If you reject this, there are some irrational consequences in doing it.

Let me describe some of the implications.

The basic affirmation of Hindu thought is that Brahma is all there is. That art thou.
Tat Tvam Asi. All the gods are manifestations of the One. The gods are still subject to the law of karma.
If Brahma is all there is, you and I are illusions. If Brahma is all there is he is in the Muslim fighting the Jew and Christian. You cannot condemn this since you are condemning Brahma. In fact, if Brahma is all there is, there is no right or wrong, there is only what Brahma is doing at the moment. This is a form of spiritual pre-determinism that takes away human freedom. These people are only doing what Brahma is really doing in the world.
In your first email you mentioned the issue of slavery. There are various ways in which people can be made slaves. The slaves of the Old Testament were temporary, only up to 7 years and they were to go free. Hindu culture makes slaves of the harijans, the people without caste.
Justification is made that they deserve this for the past karma in their lives, and transforming their positions is rejected because it is related to Karma. The position of many of these people is worse than the slavery in American, and I reject slavery because it is against the equality that exists in Christ, “ Faith in Christ Jesus is what makes each of you equal with each other, whether you are a Jew or a Greek, a slave or a free person, a man or a woman. So if you belong to Christ, you are now part of Abraham's family, and you will be given what God has promised.
(Gal.3:28-29, the New Testament)
Along the same line of reasoning, the position of women in Islam and Hinduism is unequal. The practice of suttee, outlawed by the British, has been revived in recent times in some areas, and expresses the low esteem on women in society in spite of having a woman as PM.
You seem to have avoided my question about reading the Old and New Testaments.
My concern is that you are rejecting a serious reading of them deliberately. Your quotes from the infidel web site have no context and understanding of the cultural times, particularly in the Old Testament. My concern about your not reading the New Testament is that you do not have a real understanding of Jesus. It is my feeling that you have used atheistic writers to keep you from reading about Jesus Himself.

One other issue that I will touch on today is that of war. You are bothered by war and I am also. The Christian movement did not begin with an army as Islam did. The twelve disciples of Jesus preached about his death and resurrection, the movement spread through the Roman empire. Christians were persecuted by the Roman government at various times. There were no Christian armies. When Christianity was adopted by the emperor this unfortunately was an unchristian move. By the time of Mohammed much of the Roman world was Christian.
The Muslims invaded Syria, Palestine, Egypt, Persia, etc. and moved across N. Africa to Spain.
Their conquests reduced Christians to dhimmi status or death, or conversion. The Christians did not start invasions of Arabia by force, only by preaching. After several centuries some people wanted to liberate Jerusalem because it was a holy place where Jesus was crucified, and the crusades came about. Muslims remember the crusades, but forget about the invasions following the death of Mohammed. If you read about the Muslims in their conquests of Ephesus, Thessalonica, and other cities of the ancient world, you will see the slaughter of men, the enslavement of women and children, and the abuse of people who are not Muslims.
I say all of this to remind you of the person of Jesus who said, “blessed are the peace makers” and other great words.

This is letting longer than I wanted it to, so I will sign off. With best wishes, Dallas
