The proof of the pudding is in the tasting!!
The Bhagavad Gita is the greatest philosophical and spiritually liberating treatise ever delivered, the Gita provides very clear and succinct instructions and information about how to transcend the cycle of the repetition of birth and death and return back home, back to Godhead.
Its 700 verses provides a definitive structure for self realisation, beginning with the primary knowledge of the difference between temporal energy or matter and superior energy, the eternal spirit soul.
There is detailed information about the different processes to reconnect with the Supreme and a description of the ecstatic symptoms of one who has done so.
Here is one statement from the Bhagavad Gita As It Is that focuses on the symptoms of an enlightened soul, the value of which is immeasurable in comparescent to any mundane material achievement. Chapter 6 Verses 20 to 23
In the stage of perfection called trance, or samādhi, one's mind is completely restrained from material mental activities by practice of yoga. This perfection is characterized by one's ability to see the self by the pure mind and to relish and rejoice in the self. In that joyous state, one is situated in boundless transcendental happiness, realized through transcendental senses. Established thus, one never departs from the truth, and upon gaining this he thinks there is no greater gain. Being situated in such a position, one is never shaken, even in the midst of greatest difficulty. This indeed is actual freedom from all miseries arising from material contact.

To the Hindus it does not matter if others believe the Bhagavad Gita or not.
It is not like the Islamic Extremists or Christians Evangelists.
Only the Quran or Death and the Bible or Hell.
The non-believers will automatically get their justice according to the Laws of Karma, defined by God. It requires no human interference.
In 1905 Albert Einstein, (1879-1955) physicist, published his theory of Relativity. Einstein said:
" When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous."
"We owe a lot to Indians who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made."
Personally it does not matter to me the kind of ignorance some shallow people wallow in. Those that seek the truth can look up this website. Just find and read the references first.

What do you mean by true? Most of the Gita is philosophy. Do you mean the story of Mahabharat?

It is a classic piece of literature from very ancient past. True/false criterion doesn't apply to literature.

It used to bug me when people said Christ incarnated many
times. Until I realized they weren't saying that they were all the same spirit that lived as Jesus Christ.
Christ is not a person or religion. It is the unifying of Gods
own body. All of our spirits being a part of that body, or a little bit
of the essence of what God is.
"As the body has many members, and those members being
many are one body, so is CHRIST!"

I don't know if its literally true but it is certainly inspiring. I also don't think it justifies violence in any other circumstance than when it is inescapable karma.
