www.worldmap.org
This press release is from a Christian organization. The map is of interest to Hindus in showing how systematically Christians plan their conversion efforts.) The World Missions Atlas Project, URL above, and its partners in cooperation with the greater missions community have, with expanded and updated data and technology, completed the "Global Status of Evangelical Christianity" wall map. This map illustrates the status of evangelical Christianity and church planting based upon the CPPI (Church Planting Progress Indicators) database maintained by the Global Research Department of the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. Included on this map are three inset maps displaying the global status of Bible Translation, global status of JESUS film translation, and global response to the film JESUS. Highlighted on the map are over 100,000 cities, towns and villages thematically color-coded to depict both their relative size and their evangelical status based upon the primary language and people group living in each location. This significant presentation of evangelical Christianity will be distributed worldwide, and is prayerfully expected to stir in each individual Christian's heart a desire to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ

No religion could destroy the other. Religion is not good or bad. Its some people who are doing this. Otherwise its not like that. And if you c, just opposite to that, best example is ISCON, christians adapting Hindu religion.

Hinduism is a great religion &it cannot be destroyed by any force.I have truly listened to many chritians coming to my village &offering some funds if they convert.Even some people came to me and said that see Jesus is pure.While ur lord krishna has 16000 girfriends.But one thing we Hindus can do is Just giving a big smile to the people who cant undestand the devotional love &inner meaning of Krishnas love where all the 16000 girls r different bodies with same soul.Hinduism is not a religion atall.Its a way of life.India is the country where politicians proposed a great theory that if u r a hindu,u should hate hinduism then only u can be called secular.But the true meaning of secularism is to love ones own reliogion means if u love ur religion u accept all the theories said by it ie not to hate others & see ur neighbour as yourself then how can u hate the person of other religion.Religion is not an intellectual activity its an act of self realisation.Jesus is a god of love.He wants u to love any body whether he is a hindu or christian & if the basis of ur love to jesus is the hatred towards hinduism then u can never be a real christian u should convert to christianity if u have a stuanch devotion towarda jesus but not the hatred u have on Hindus.I believe the true cause of terrorism is religious conversion.Other reliogions out of identity loss r starting bloodshed.I FEEL ALL CHRISTIANITY IS GOOD BUT CHRISTIANS R BAD.and also there is no need to judge religions.Its better to understand ones own religion.Thats enough

The religions today - all are equally evil. None of them have spiritual intention within the group.
You said about Christianity.
Look at Islam.
Two days back even Al Qaeda was threatening Americans to accept Islam through their website.
Even Hinduism wants to do that but the world doesn't listen to. Every religious individual has this aim in their mind and they work for it. Some succeed and some fail. That's the difference.
It doesn't mean that the winners are right and the losers are wrong.

Christians are not forcing anybody to become a believer of Jesus Christ, people believe in Jesus Christ after they realize the truth and witnessing God. See, nobody is fool in this world, if they have any evidence or witness only they believe in something.
Christians are not placing bombs on a running train or other religion’s worship places.
You can’t find normally a Christian is becoming Criminal and in a Police Station/Jail. And also the places where Christians are staying are normally peaceful, where other religions like to stay. Why? They are not against any religion, cast or society. They normally don’t attack others place of worship. See practical life.
Get a life

The reason Christians try to convert other religions is because we know the sacrifice that Jesus made for us and we want to spread the Gospel. Just because I come up to you and tell you about Jesus and all that he has done, it doesn't necessarily mean that I am trying to destroy your religion. You have your beliefs and I have mine and they are that if you don't repent of your sins and follow Christ, you go to hell, and I don't want that for anyone. Part of being a Christian is having compassion and love for others. I don't think I am perfect, so I have no right to judge anyone else, and I would never judge you for having different beliefs. All the same, you shouldn't judge Christians for doing what we believe is the right thing to do.

Truth to the matter, every major religion on this sick and miserable little planet are vying for the spot to become number one. It's all a big competition to see how many people can go to their side. And if you don't you'll be outcasted with the rest of the non-believers who really don't give two turds worth on what the religious people think. Eventually, it'll break out into a war, another Crusade, and hopefully they wipe each other out while I sit back and sip on my Long Island and watch **** all day.

There is here a very good aspect that they try to remind people about the existence of the One True God.
And there is nothing to fear if other religions also worship the One True God.
The important thing is not which names will be glorified, but it is more men to return to the selfless love taught by the Messengers of God. Let us all learn and practice this divine lesson.

Of course they do. They believe it is their duty to convert the whole world. But i dont buy the crap like message, misson etc. Its because of the power and money involved. Heck with the theology and spirituality. They are salesmen and they want the targets to be reached.
It happens in every religion. Where is buddism in India, the land where it originated. Didn't the hindu (not the common public) clergy - bramins massacred thousand of buddists and erased the teaching of buddha from the minds of Indians? Their business was affected and they did it, and continue to do.
Jesus didn't propose to start a new religion in his name. It is the same clergy who crucified him for business reasons, floated a religion in his name for the same business.
If the church have anything to care for spirituality or theology, they would'nt have to destroy / disown 30 odd gospels and the gnostics.

Christians are involved in converting Hindus and other religions to their religion. It does not mean that they are trying to destroy other religious. It is an open truth.
for example:
They try to brainwash many poor innocent Hindu's by explaining the features in christian religion, providing money support, free regional language translated bible books and by showing equal rights for the low caste peoples, were the same peoples could not get those privileages in hindu religious.

Christians are trying to preach the word of God according to their beleif regardless if it makes sence or not. And because sometimes it doesn't make sence so they are trying some times to pay poor poeple to convert and tell them "see, Jesus loves you , He gave you this money" and if it doesn't work so they will try to make your life so hard to force you to act like them. That's why we see this conflicts arround the world. Let me ask these people who says that Islam is not a peaceful religion a question. Who occupied the African and the Asian countries in the last 3 centuries..mmmmmm let me think......mmmmmmmmmmm I think they were christians. Who took the black people and make them slaves in America mmmm I think christians. who killed the native Americans and took their lands.... I think christians ..... Does that mean christianity is a bad religion??? of course Not .... it's very stupid to judge on a religion by the action of stupid people belongs to it. That's my point. Islam is a great great religion all what you need to do is study it. and really practice it. You will be the happiest person in the world. Salam (peace)
