@Indrani
Where did it say temple funds are diverting to churches??

 

[Indrani]

That doesn't mean Christianity endorses drinking

It does and it shows too. Proof of the pudding is in eating. Denial does not get you anywhere.

Truth as there were no settlements of Christians in those forest lands before.

The truth is that those happened between 1900-1960 period.

that's just one aspect of it. In the rural areas especially, if you are person who is repressed by the hierarchy what is the motivation of staying a Hindu?

Let Hindu orgnisations then win the hearts and minds by offering education, food and clothing too. Let the two organisations compete for generosity for the poor.

at least that way, amenities will be provided which the ruling class never cared to provide for in the first place.

I understand you are talking about the welfare of people.. But in religious point of view, its simply wrong.. Anywhere in Christianity, no one advice to exploit the conditions of poor to convert them.. Christianity advice to feed the hunger .. It never said about feeding the hunger who converted to Christianity.. You cannot just mad mouth other religion to increase your followers.. Many evangelical societies are doing the same by insulting Hinduism and offering food and cloths if the people are converted to Christianity.. These guys are not doing any favor to the Christianity or to themselves..

Land grab was what was mentioned in context of Kerala. In context of Karnataka though the money goes to churches and mosques.

Now that's plain stupid

Kerala temples were taken over by the British. It was after the fact that those settlements happened. Not before.

So what ? I am talking about migration to Idukki & Malabar regions of Kerala,which were nearly forests back then.

Right Jesus can drink wine and yet it is not consider alcohol. Though every wine bottle lists the alcohol content in wine. Only stupids will think wine is not booze and drunk for its thirst quenching properties rather than intoxicant.

Plain wrong.. Some churches uses red wine for masses.. They made it in churches using grapes.. But some churches uses only grape juice for holy masses. Christinanity never encourages drinking.. It is considered one of the sins..

Nonsense. Refer to last supper by Christ.

Temple lands.

The alcohol content of wine is far less than even many ayurvedic medicines .Also there is a debate among Aramaic scholars about whether it was grape juice or wine

 

[jamahir]

It means exactly what it says.

i give you time to answer this... in india, why does not a single hindu temple idol go "hungry" nor do crows nor do dogs... yet, there are 69 people dead by hunger in the darjeeling tea plantations... can you explain why should india not be invaded by world socialist militaries and the local anti-human callous back-stabbing selfish superstitious culture eradicated... i am serious...

Temple lands.

Forests weren't temple lands.

Not sure about sabarimala section.But Christians are absolute majority in almost all high range forest settlements of Kerala....

LOL. Yeah yeah yeah you can keep debating after 2000 years of practicing something in a fashion. Ayurvedic medicines are for the sick people. Are church goers sick people?

@Indrani The Govt of Nagaland actually banned drinking citing Christian reasons.
