Is not conversion a heinous and shameful act and a violation of the law of creation?

Question

As the son of a Christian priest I have observed Harijans being converted to Christianity on inducements. Those days T Vs were not present. A Bishop assigned to this job would visit the Church and he would place on a Black Board pictures of Jesus Christ in action and talk about His noble preaching and love. At the end clothes will be distributed to the poor people. Many will choose to get converted to Christianity anticipating conversion rewards but it was not based on faith, but on need. What happens afterwards? They will refuse to join the congregation as they were still segregated. The Church stood on a hill and the cemetery was in layers – up to down. The bottom layer was allotted for these converted low cast Harijans. They were known then as Pulayas and Parayas and were living in abject poverty – sometimes eating animal carcasses and left-overs. Gandhiji named them Harijans and gave them some deserving consolation. I put this question in this context!

Answer 1

Forced conversion is always wrong. No one should join any religion unless they are actually convinced of its veracity or have a heartfelt belief therein.

Answer 2

Well If you wanna know the reality behind steines and mother teresa and all those christian perverts(missionaries) just log on to www.hinduwisdom.info . Forced conversions are a crime against humanity. These christians have also created many plans for the conversion of the whole world to christianity. Tell me if christians are "secular" then why the hell do they CONVERT? WHY?WHY?WHY?. WHY CAN'T THEY SIMPLY MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS. IF THESE PERVERTS HAVE THE GUTS THEN WHY DON'T THEY PREACH THEIR RELIGION,SPREAD THE" GOSPEL" IN ISLAMIC COUNTRIES WHERE "SHARIA" IS PRACTISED. WHY?WHY?WHY? THEIR IS ONLY ONE REASON TO IT:- tHE MUSLIM WHETHER HE IS A BEGGAR OR A PRIME MINISTER IS TOO PROUD OF HIS RELIGION. HE WILL DIE FIGHTING BUT WILL NEVER CONVERT . PLEASE, PLEASE,.PLEASE DON'T GET CARRIED AWAY BY THE ANSWER OF PEOPLE LIKE "GHUDU". WELL IF GRAHAM STEINES WAS INTERESTED IN HELPING THE HARIJANS, THE POOR , THEN WHY , WHY THE HELL DID HE BRING JESUS IN THE MIDDLE? WHY THE HELL DID HE ASK CHRISTIANS TO BRING NON-CHRISTIANS INTO THE FORESTS FOR BIBLE LESSONS.

Answer 3

Trying to buy a human into a religion or practises is certainly devilish. At the same time looking for buyers is equally mean. In an ideal society, people should be free to practise their harmless beliefs and children should be free to challenge their parents' beliefs.

Mother Teresa's argument favouring job reservations for Harijan Christians proves that conversions did not improve social status but certainly created division in the society.

Answer 4

Creation did not create religion. It was evolved by humans for their convenience to achieve the ultimate goal of Moksha. So Conversion from one faith to another is only your trial and fail method to reach your goal. What is wrong with it.
But if you are talking in western world's perspective then things would be diffrent and it would have an altogether different connotation for eastern world.

Answer 5

There is no harm in allowing a willing person to convert to other faith. When we are born we dont know what we have to practice. A faith is thrust upon us by our parents, though in later part of our lives we may realise the uselessness of the religion we may be following. In my humble opinion, the people who do not allow freedom to follow one's path are actually doing a very henious crime themselves. God will never forgive them, I know for sure.

Answer 6

conversion is not wrong according to any law.primerily conversion is God's natural law. where all covret into anoteher being for example chemicl conversion. when you are talking about Christins convertinng the harijans to their reigion is wrong. here is my point.were there brahmins in our country before the aryans invaded inda. after their coming this relgion and castism started. then these who find truth in what they study and find it to be right logicaly,they can accept. seeing the dirty side of suffronisation and it's douel policy Dr,Ambedkar converted into buddhism.we are here on earth for some time then we have to face eternity of hell and heaven,so we have to seek God. and one finds HIs god to be the 1 then he can believe,if not go to seek HIm and find him,because it is matter of eternity.but if christians are doing force conversion then they are voilating the human personal law.muslims were converted by sowrd.drawidians by wisdom to Hiduism.religious coverts into atheism by self knowldge. we cant stop. we have freedom to choose what is the best.INDIAN CONSTITUTION FORBIDS FORCE CONVERION:NOT SELF VOLUNTERY CONVERSIONBASED UPON HIS/HER KNOWLEDGE

Answer 7

Conversion is never by inducement, allurement or by force. It is always by heart. The problem is that in our country the downtroddens are paid no attention, neither by the main religions nor by the government. Christianity has taught this country, education, health and lifestyle. In Orissa Rev. Stein used to provide brasiers to the naked adivasi ladies and under garments to the people. He taught the people to wear clothes, bathing and keeping neat and clean. He provided education also to these downtrodden and neglected tribe. In this way many converted to Christianity by their free will. Do you call it forciblly converting? If some high cast does not like conversion to Christianity, they should do all goods to the people which Christians are doing. Are these people serious about the plight of the non Christians who are allegedly being converted? Do they take care of them? Do they provide them livelyhood? do they take care of health of the poor people? Are they arranging education and healthcare for these people? No. Further,Is conversion illegal? Every citizen of India has a right under Article 25 of the Constitution of India to profess any religion he likes. If I want to profess Islam, Who can forbid me from doing so? If I want to convert to Hinduism, will hindus resist?

Further, this is a hollow propaganda by the anti-christian forces that christians are converting hindus to christianity. They blame that christians are engaged in paying money for conversion. Is it not rediculous? Can any body change one's religious feelings by giving money or kind? No. Come on! pay me a million dollars, I shall convert to your religion, but can you cange my heart?

I know a court case, wherein antichristian forces got filed a case by a hindu alleging that a pastor has converted him to christianity by force. While cross examining the lawyer asked, " Were you made christian? "yes" he replied. "Are you now Christian or hindu?" No. I am still Hindu" he replied. The judge equitted the pastor on the plea taken by the lawyer ie "If the complainant is still a hindu, it means he has not been converted". So to say that conversion to any religion can not be effected by force, allurement or inducement.

Again a thing. The religious meetings and function are being disturbed and interfeared by the anichristian forces. Administration keeps mum. I say do these forces have right to disturb the religious meetings an functions.? Have they right to beatup and punish the Christians. This is a job of Judiciary. If they find any illegal conversion they shoud initiate legal proceedings against the accused. Only the judiciary is to punish the culprit. Therefore I do not believe in "Conversion by inducement". Conversion is neither heinous nor shameful nor violation of law.

Answer 8

I do question it because conversion is usually done by promises in which man should not be making. It is also done by fear, "believe in God, or go to hell." I feel it should be a personal relationship, and not done in fear.

Answer 9

not exactly

it would be unloving if someone kept the enjoyment of God from others

of course there are loving ways of talking to people and unloving ways, and the Bible comands us to speak the truth in love
