Why I am Not a Christian? - Koenraad Elst -

[@binodmenahihu8104]

Well... I come from tani clan of northeast India, and we worship the sun and the moon and ONE "source" of creation... it is very similar to hindu vedic system... Christian missionaries had left no stone unturned to convert our people to Christianity, the missionaries would often use loudspeakers and declare that this world is going to end and if you do not want to burn forever in hell than convert to Christianity, or else they would go to anyone who was in economic or social trouble, would pay them, help them, and in return would ask them to convert, which people easily did due to the debt they felt (it is our custom to always return a gratitude even with your life) ... even my family was approached several times but my parent didn't convert (my father was a staunch follower of our old ways and my mom is a maha shiv bhakt)... so they told our other relatives to not mingle with us as we are worshipers of satan, and if they did, they would go to hell too.. there were times when they preached that we shouldn't celebrate our own festivals as they glorify satanic spirits.. they said you shouldn't eat from a hindu, or our traditional festivals or pujas.. they began the culture of carrol party which involved processions from house to house singing songs etc, which was very much detested by the parents of the young children because these carrol programs which normally happens in evening were a breeding place for illicit practices(sexually illicit mostly) among young boys and girls.. and "girja" assemblages purposefully organized to a house closest to the house of a "non"..!! Yes they called us "non" as in "none christian "... as if we are the outsiders instead of them... But thanks to the RSS our community could still preserve our indigenous cultural practices.... everyone thought that rss was the same as those missionaries and they had come to convert us too.. but instead the rss karyakarta would teach the value of our own indigenous culture and they said "go back to your roots and see that you are not so different after all" ... Christianity has very deep roots in my states no doubt, but now atleast we have a counter narrative.. thanks to RSS, VHP, Akhil Bhartiya Parishad, and the donyi polo resurgence movement... slowly but surely people are getting tired of the hoax of religion and returning to their roots... even christians are asking questions now, so the church has become lenient nowadays, now christians are allowed to go to their cultural, events wear traditional dress and beads ornaments which were considered evil and satanic earlier..huh as if they are the kings and the church goers their subjects... all I have learnt so far is that basically religion is for the goats and sheeps who wants to be led by others... lions are not religious ..they know exactly what their dharma is..!!!!

Surprising that there's no reference to Bertrand Russell's famous classic essay of the same title. That's a great refutation of the Christian principles.

That's very nice to hear you syncretise your religious worldviews, hard to come by these days.

I had briefly considered converting to Christianity last year (kinda follow both Hindu and Christian lifestyles but Christian by faith), upon learning of its developments within Northern Europe and the role it had played in modernity but I couldn't really 'believe' anymore (I'm agnostic). In any case, I hope you've benefited from what Hinduism had to offer. Stay safe!

[@djketler]

@@Akashi-js6rx Thank you for sharing your story with me! Being agnostic is a very humble place to be - a fertile ground for understanding and insights, I think. If you're interested in the idea of 'God' and theism generally, you might be interested in the religious scholar/theologian David Bentley Hart; he has a great book called "The Experience of God: Being, Consciousness, Bliss" on just what belief in God even means, and also how it's understood inter-religiously. It is more than a nominal belief in a Creator, or many. There are also many KZbin videos of him interviewed; I like the one he did with "Closer to Truth". I hope this is interesting to you. I hope you stay safe too! :)

What Mohammad didn't understand is the word of God On the days of God's Creation. According to the Jewish scripture the Old Testament. On the 4th day. Genesis {1:14} And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night. But on the 1st day. Genesis {1:1} In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. {1:3} And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. {1:4} And God saw the light, that [it was] good: and God divided the light from the darkness Notice that God Said, (By his WORD) Why would God need 2 great lights when he already created light in the first day, God DIVIDED that Good Light from the Darkness, so if the light was GOOD then DARKNESS must be bad. 1. What was the Light God created on the first day, "God said" Let there be light. 2. Thus (By his Word) his word it became the light, But what was that light?. 3. It took more than 4 thousand years before the world was able to understand what that light was. 4. Can that light be found in the Christian Bible, yes! John 1.1. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” 1.2 The SAME (Word) was in the beginning WITH God. That word was with God and was God, and that word was to be a light to all the world. No one knew who or what that light was until Jesus declared "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." We now see that, that light was also Gods WORD, and his word was born of The Virgin Mary, and clothed in flesh with Gods given name Jesus. God's word was the light, and that light was Jesus who came to the Jewish people as their Messiah, he came as a savior to the descendants of Ishmael, he came as a savior to the World for those that believe in him.

hinduism is known for its philosophies, knowledge of vedas, upanishad but superstitions are present in every culture it should not be taken literally.

Then why Professor Koenraad Elst is not a Chan Buddhist? He is also a Sinologist so he is supposed to know teachings of Bodhidharma and his disciples. IMO it's the best path, esp. Rinzai Zen in Japan - the religion of Samurai. And regarding Jesus: he was a wandering neo-Pythagorean philosopher like e.g. Apollonius of Tyana. Spiritual healing, exorcist rituals and belief in demons were teachings of popular Greco-Roman neo-Pythagorean philosophy, followed later by neo-Platonism.

Sexual abuse is not Godly. In any sense sexual abuse is something people do, its not something God authorises. God never condones sexual abuse, but if everyone were to die or be punished straight away fro a sin committed, no one would be on the planet at the moment. The human race would die out almost as fast as it began. Spirituality is nonsexual its being committed to Jesus while maintaining a good character.

Dear Mr. Koenraad Elst,I have to confess I wasn't impressed with your explication why you are not a Christian not that it matter because everybody has the right to chose the way the want to go in life,however there are few small things that need to be corrected ,the Catholic Church might teach the false doctrine of eternal punishment and that of life in Heaven,but this not what the Bible teaches,for example in Psalms 37:11-is saying the following"But the meek will possess the earth and will find exquisite delight in abundance of peace",what does it mean ,that the day is coming when God will remove all the wicked people from the Earth and the meek ones will possess the Earth for ever,also read Rev.21:4;Isaiah 35:5,6;John 5:28,29;Isaiah 33:24;Psalms 72:16,those just few verses from the Bible where is explained that God has created man to live for ever here on Earth and his purpose will be fulfilled regardless what you or I might feel about it,do you know that you can find yourself in the Bible dear Sir?Well let me help you ,in 2 Peter 3:3,4 is saying"First of all know this,that in the last days ridiculers will come with their ridicule,proceeding according to their own desires and saying:"Where is this promise presence of his?Why,from the day our forefathers fell a sleep in death,all things are continuing exactly as they were from the creation's beginning",did you recognise yourself Mr.Elst, wouldn't you say that was a pretty good prophecy ?I think if you would have study the Bible as much as study the Hindu scriptures you wouldn't have made this pretty stupid video.Take care ,Sir,remember what it is saying at 2 Peter 3:10 "But Jehovah's day will come as a thief".Best wishes.

Christianity is an evil empire

[@mbundingantembe6572]

Christianity Islam and Judaism are uniquely evil empires, I don't know what you mean by "babylonian" religion of Hinduism, you don't make any sense, Hinduism is from India not Babylon, and many of their gods are black. The reason for anti black racism is european christian influence.I dont believe anything about other religions coming from christians as they just lie left right and center on these topics. The real reason christianity is an evil empire is that Yahweh is a false god and demon. Its funny that Christians say all humans are sinners because their false god yahweh is the greatest sinner, he murders innocent children in Egypt in exodus, he orders the genocide of people in canaan, and he rapes Mary to give birth to Jesus. Your god should burn in hell for eternity because thats what he deserves. In addition Christianity has no morality as Christians believe that the only thing that gets you in their eternal heaven is believing in Christ, whether you do good deeds does not matter, this explains why the most horrendous deeds in history have been done by Christian countries, such as the genocide of the americas at the hands of Hernan Cortez. In addition, Christianity has lead to the widespread destruction of the natural world because christians arrogantly believe that their god Yahweh granted their fake ancestor authority over the beasts of the land and the sea, and all other living things are made for christian consumption. Christianity also sanctions the slave trade as jesus himself talks about slaves needing to obey their masters. The worst thing Christianity has done by far is take away other peoples religions and indigenous spirituality from them and shove their hideous ideas down their throat, the world would be a better place without this evil empire.

But why do you feel sad? Don't you want people to leave the darkness of abrahamic cults behind? The cults which keep them in a constant fear of hellfire and judgement day from the moment they are born. The whole psychology of children gets heavily affected by these fears which mould their entire personalities and who they are in life. To leave abrahamic cults is "freedom". Why do you feel sad for people achieving freedom? After all, no matter from where the person comes, the ancestors of every person throughout the world was a non-muslim or non-christian once. They are all converts. So it's not like they are leaving something intrinsic or god given.
