Who better than who?
The much talked about Benny Hinn recently visited bangalore to pray for India. It was all over the paper about BJP and the Hindu samaj opposing it and the Benny Hinn defending his stance. The hindus samaj (BJP, VHP and other utterly jobless facions) were scared that the much too preserved hindu community would get converted to christianity. Mr. Hinn said he was not here for conversion. You can only laugh about the statements made by both the groups.
Some people are obsessed with conversion, others have a problem with it. Why? To make it a political agenda? BJP says, hindus dont support or practice conversion. Sure, christianity does not say it does not support conversion. They are letting people know about their relegion. What is wrong? May be I am a hindu and tend to be more critical about my birth relegion. May be I want my birth relegion to be the perfect and all accomodating one. What ever be it, conversion is not wrong. But mass conversion is wrong. There is a difference, and you surely can see it. A crowd always thinks as crowd. Not as a million individuals. It is always upto the oratory and the sweet talking of the convener of the meeting to make the crowd support or oppose his thinking. The crowd does not have the ability to express its intelligence and discreetion. And the mass convertionists(if thats a word) take complete advantage of this. I hope and want to beleive that the BJP and the VHPs were scared of this event rather than conversion per se. A crowd acting out of ignorance is dangerous to the country. Specially in India, hinduism being the main relegiion (main in terms of population) it important to stop people from attending meeting of this kind. If I want to convert , I would go to the church and get myself converted. no one would stop me. Converion is a everyones birth right. Coaxing someone by their sweet talk to convert is a fraud and should be punishable by law. This does not even mean that I support the BJPs and the VHPs for their voilence, bus burning, stone pelting, window pane breaking etc. That was done to gain political mileage. But , in my opinion, it was upto the CM to allow or dis allow such an event or to keep it under strict vigilance and to lay the right ground rules of marketing and publicity.

Let me add more facts to this.Nobody knew about Benny Hinn until he released his pamphlets saying "Idol worship and prostitution are gr8 sins".Well,most people are ignorant abt this and all they remember is just the stone pelting......
Mr Hinn has made a direct attack on Hinduism.And that is the reason why BJP,RSS,VHP people protested.And of course,making such statements would give an impression that the sole purpose of holding such a mega-event was mass conversion.And that is the reason for the protest.The protest is justified.The way the protest was carried out(stone pelting....) is an entirely different debate.When Sri Shankaracharya was arrested,TV channels started saying that there were lukeworm protests against his arrest.I really dont understand the media.Does a protest mean stone pelting or holding the city to ransom? Is there no space for silent protest??This is an entirely different debate and let me not deviate from my topic.
Today everything runs on money.Mr Hinn would have paid a few dollars to the police,Dharam Singh,etc.And Dharam Singh has to please his madam in the centre also.So irrespective of whether Hinn is right or wrong,Dharam wud not hav banned it.India is a secular country.Poojas in BabaBudanagiri are banned,Praveen Togadia entering Karnataka is banned whereas a green carpet for people like Hinn.
Sonia is a hard core-catholic and wants to c every Indian turn into a catholic within her stint as the chairman of the UPA.
This is a large conspiracy.There are even bigger problems associated with conversion.If there was no conversion,Pakistan would not have come into existance.
So wake up.....folks and lets not give a chance for people like Sonia to disintegrate the country.
