Religious Fanaticism - The
Ongoing Crusades
Religious Fanaticism - The
Ongoing Crusades
The object of this article is to bring to light the activities of
the ever-growing number of fundamentalist Christians. To those who
thought the days of fanatical Crusade-fighting Christians was
over, think again. All around the world, while attention is
diverted by the Western (Christian) powers to the threat of
Islamic fundamentalism and its potential serious consequences on
world peace, they themselves are funding and training countless
numbers of their own religious fanatics to spread the word of
Christianity to the four corners of the globe.
This is a slur on the name of international harmony. Indeed, it
has truly been said that more wars are fought in the name of
religion than for any cause - and THESE are the people who cause
those wars. Militant by its very nature, the demonic cult of
fanatic Christianity will not rest until each and every single
person alive on the face of the Earth has been successfully
brainwashed by their "missionaries" - a noble
"mission" indeed!!
Not for these people is the principle of the truth and validity of
each and every religion. To their twisted minds, Jesus Christ is
the one and only way. All others, regardless of their lifestyle -
even the purest of the pure - are doomed forever to burn in the
fires of hell. The only way to escape eternal punishment according
to these people is to shun the culture, heritage, tradition and
religion that has been an integral part of your own ancestry and
national spirit for untold millenia.
Diversity is the essential ingredient of a vibrant and healthy
society. Evolution itself is entirely dependant upon the inherent
diversity of expression present in each and every part of nature.
But of course, it was people like these who have resisted every
single major scientific breakthrough in history ever since the
inception of Christianity. Darwin himself faced tremendous
criticism of his works, as did Newton, Gallileo, Copernicus...the
list is endless. And now, these enemies of humanity seek to
abolish once and for all the very possibility of any kind of
diversity existing, setting up a theocratic dictatorship
throughout the world.
Far worse than Hitler, and much more dangerous in their potential
destructive capability, these people would seek to destroy any
last vestige of any culture other than that which they themselves
practise. The richness of the human mind, the colourful variety
brought about by the interaction of myriad different cultures and
subcultures in a harmonious co-existence, this is not for them.
Those who have dedicated their lives to the moulding of others,
or, in default of this, to the ridding the planet of those
"evil spawn of the devil" who refuse to convert to their
own ideals, cannot ever see the victory of tolerance,
understanding and sense.
Such fundamentalism must be exposed for what it really is - not
any kind of God-given holy task, not "bringing God's light to
those who wander lost in the darkness of ignorance", but
plain and simple hate-driven refusal to accept that any other way
may be just as good as their own. It is only once the world wakes
up to the truth of religious militancy as blatantly practised by
these scourges on the name of humanity that there can be any kind
of concerted eeffort to remove such wanton destructiveness from
the world.
In the name of tolerance, the Hindus of India allow these vile
insects to remain in their communities and expand, infecting, one
by one, each member of the community they take up residence in. No
longer can Hindus afford to do this. If the Hindu does not stand
up for his own beliefs, noone else will. Already, we are seeing a
state where, in Tripura, Christian converts are able to prevent
the indigenous Hindu community from practising their own
religion!!
As the old saying goes, "They came for the Jews, I said
nothing; they came for the blacks, still I said nothing; they came
for the Asians, I said nothing even then; then they came for me,
and there was noone left to say anything." Though the
activities of these militants are directed towards India, their
effects will be on the entire world, including those Christians
who do not subscribe to such fundamentalist ideology. Before it is
too late, the international community at large MUST act to stop
this vile, insidious disease of religious fundamentalism. More
than anything else, the greatest threat to the modern-day world is
religious fanaticism - whether that be Islamic, Christian,
Vaishnava or anything else.
I therefore make an open appeal to all those who believe in the
FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHT to lead one's life according to one's own
wishes and beliefs to step forward and openly condemn the acts of
these religious zealots. I plead with all those who profess to be
defenders of freedom, democracy, secularism and truth to come
forward and act now to stop these heinous acts before it is too
late.
Below is a mail I recently received from a friend who attended a
lecture given by one of these religious fanatics. For further
demonstration of the wanton destruction of age-old cultural
traditions and religious faiths being carried out by these "saviours
of Man", please take a look at some exemplary Christian
websites here.

I am sending this mail to all those people taht i think would care
about it. If you don't care about a group of missionaries trying
to convert anyone anything in sight then stop reading now
Many of you know me well and know that i am quite strong in my
faith, so i am more likely to get upset than the average person
I went to a talk today by ( as advertised - a christian from a
hindu background ) He was talking about why he became a christian
and why christianity is the only way!
He had a very extremist attitude and even said that he fears for
his parents, as they are still hindu so will not reach the kingdom
of heaven ie will go to hell.
his talk was interesting to say the least. he started off by
talking about Ghandiji saying how he was a man who researched a
lot of religeons.
He also talked about how the world is leading to Globalisation but
( surprising to me anyway ) dismissed it as impractical and said
that religeons were the main cause for war - but then proceeded to
be as intolerent a person from ANY faith that i have ever come
across. He acknowledged that religeon was the cause for trouble
but his solution was not that all the religeons become more
tolerent but more so that we all embrace Jesus Christ as our
Saviour
i can go on about what he said and would be happy to do so if
anyone would like me to then please reply asking me to. i will
just summarise though
he dismissed ghandiji as arrogant as ghandiji was a scholar of
religeons and took what he saw to be good from all of them saying
that he was arrogant as he saw himself as god
He said that we as men are sinners and bad people and we cannot (
as is the hindu belief ) rise up above this mortality but all we
can do is "thank" jesusji for dying for our sins
We cannot go up to god like status but god must come down and pick
us up
About all paths leading to the same goal he at first said that
there are easy and difficult ways to get up a mountain why take
the hard way of hinduism where there are millions of
reincarnations before you can get anywhere when you can take the
straight path of christianty which will lead you to judgement
after only one!!! So Jesusji has cleared a path for us which is
the easy path. he then went on to say that we cannot climb this
mountain at all - basically us we are MERE humans and that we are
essentially bad people so god has to come down and pick us up
Again i am drifting i apologise this talk just really upset me
My basic point is that we ( whatever faith we are from ) need to
be aware that there are talks like this going on.His critiscims
werent restricted to hinduism he tried Islam aswell... personally
my belief is that we should try to attend as many of these
lunchtime talks as we can in as large groups as we can and try to
help defend our dharma
If you are completely uninterested by this then i am sorry for
sending you this mail those of you taht are please get in touch or
try to go to as many of the talks as you can
i have no problem with them preaching about the beauty of Christ
but when they make up false" facts" about other
religeons i believe it is teh responsibilty of anyone who has
faith in that belief to stand up for the rights of their belief
