| You are right Malak ji. We have that little common sense and manners not to abuse some other religion & others' Gods. But they doesn't. Anyways, we should counter them. We shouldn't be so soft with them. hmmm... lets see how far it goes.

And yeah whatsoever may be the reaction, we never stooped so low as to insult Jesus Christ, even though Abuses have been hurled at Hindu Gods ... (Lets see how long this goes on though)

I see a point in whatyyou are saying Batasari ,
But I'm trying to take two eyes for an eye and the Jaw for a tooth ;)
The more they attack us, the more they give us a platform to attack them .. he hee ..
But unfortunately, in this process we do end up hurting genuinely religious people, but then I havent seen any attempt by them to stop these posts .. in any case lemme apologize to them and I would like to say my posts are just reactive.

I've seen and been with few genuine Christians(who are original Christians, the so called Anglo Indians and who were settled here in India itself)... none says such stupid things against any religion. I used to go with them till their Church and sit outside till they complete their prayer and they does the same when I go to Temple. And the way they live is really good. They are sincere. They never does frauds(submit fake bills and claim medical/LTA etc). Very genuine guys. The people who utter crap and bark are not the original ones, but they are none other than those converted ones. They are like "dhobhi ka kutta na ghar ka na ghat ka" type. Do we actually need to "satisfy" them? Malak? Hope you got the point.

This quote best explains it all
___________________________________
Augustus came from a miraculous conception by the divine and human conjunction of [the God] Apollo and [his mother] Atia. How does the historian respond to that story? Are there any who take it literally?... That divergence raises an ethical problem for me. Either all such divine conceptions, from Alexander to Augusts and from the Christ to the Buddha, should be accepted literally and miraculously or all of them should be accepted metaphorically and theologically. It is not morally acceptable to say...our story is truth but yours is myth; ours is history but yours is a lie. It is even less morally acceptable to say that indirectly and covertly by manufacturing defensive or protective strategies that apply only to one's own story. [John Crosssan, The Birth of Christianity, 1998, pg 28 - 29.]

=============================================
Here is something published on http://home.earthlink.net/~pgwhacker/ChristianOrigins/ which believes that christianity is mythology too
The POCM web site introduces you to the mainstream modern scholarship about Christianity's origins in ancient Pagan religion.
You already know Christmas trees and Easter eggs were originally Pagan, and you probably know the traditional mid-winter and spring timing of the two holidays was Pagan too. Mildly interesting. Not what you'll find here.
What you'll discover here is that Christianity inherited everything from the Pagans. The core of Christianity -- the worship of a dying Godman who is resurrected, ascends into heaven and brings salvation to mankind -- was also the core of a number of ancient Pagan religions that began in the Near East two thousand years before Jesus.
Christian theology borrowed more than the archaic myth of the dying-resurrected Godman. Initiation by baptism, communion with the God through a holy meal that represented the flesh of the dead God, the Holy Spirit, monotheism, and immortality of the soul were all core beliefs of many ancient faiths. They were simply part of ancient Mediterranean culture.
Christianity also borrowed elements of Jesus' mythology: the virgin birth, the miracles (including turning water into wine, walking on water, and especially healing the sick) were all common elements of pre-Christian Pagan religions. Mithras had 'em. So did Dionysus, Attis, Osiris, and Orpheus. And more. And they had them centuries before Christianity was a twinkle in Saint Paul's eye.
