Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason

“I have now gone through the examination of the four books ascribed to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John; …. it is, I believe, impossible to find in any story upon record so many and such glaring absurdities, contradictions, and falsehoods, as are in those books. They are more numerous and striking than I had any expectation of finding, when I began this examination, and far more so than I had any idea of when I wrote the former part of 'The Age of Reason.”

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation has organized the Ghar Waapasi program in Anantha Gurappagari Village in Chandragiri Mandalam in Chittoor District and talked to them about our efforts to welcome back to the Hindu field those who converted to Christianity. Our Associates K. Reddappa and K. Subbanna have been actively involved in visiting a number of villages in various villages and Mandalas in Chittoor District. They distributed a 4-page document containing the rights of Hindus to encounter Christians and how to stop the construction of illegal churches.

They were able to convince 18 families to return to Hinduism. They were honored with Upper garment for men and Blouse pieces for women along with God’s pictures, the Hanuman flag, and other items.

As Thomas Paine mentioned that the Bible is full of contradictions, absurdities, and falsehoods.  Let us look at a couple of contradictions:

SHOULD WE TELL LIES?

Exodus 20:16 “Thou shalt not bear false witness.”

Versus

1 Kings 22:23 "The Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee."

DOES GOD REPENT?

Numbers 23:19 "God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent."

Versus

Exodus 32:14 "And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people."

As many of you are aware that the Christians are moving into the sacred city of Tirupati and its periphery in the Chittoor District. They are planning to start converting within a radius of 50 kilometers. Christians are moving into this area to convert as many people as possible to make Tirupati a sacrilegious place instead of keeping it as a sacred place.

Although many Hindu activists are doing many things, their efforts have not infiltrated into the villages where the conversion is taking place on a large scale. As Hindus concentrate on their intellectual endeavors, Christians are concentrating on conversion. It is time for all the intellectuals and activists to pause for a few minutes and look at the ground realities. Our intellectual endeavors and activists’ protests are not reaching the villages where conversion is rampant. We cannot ignore or turn away from what is happening on the ground.
