Dear Selma,
You must know that the so called 'Indian Gods' (including the Gods of my
ancesters) are and have been totally insecure and impotent, always.
Otherwise they would have been romping all over the world and not just be
confined to the so called Indian Sub-Continent.
Therefore the need for PARANOIA from the likes of un-educatable Anvekar
etc.
Cheers
floriano
PS: I believe in GOD who have had guts and not just large intestines.

in the end the motive of the Church is always to convert (as always)...
Response:
First of all, I find Sandesh Anvekar's remark absolutely loathsome. No
doubt, some Goans are waiting with bated breath for the return of the
BJP-ram raj so that we can look forward to 5 years of "hurt
sensibilities."
Ignorance about the Church aside, I always find some comments faintly
amusing. In the Christian dominated West, these very people have no
problem at all sending their children to school where they all learn about
Christ (yes, even non-religious state schools), preform in Christmas
pageants and cheerfully dress up as Easter bunnies. It is only in India
amidst a population of 1.2 billion, where 2.3% are Christians, that they
feel so threatened by the Church and so-called conversions.
It is attitudes such as these that will effectively assure India's place
perpetually in the Dark Ages. Strangely, no amount of middle-class
prosperity in India seems to be eradicating these attitudes which puts
paid to the theory that affluence and education are the best criteria for
progress.
Best,
selma
