A pagan... by any other name....
Friend of mine is over there coaching soccer and uses that as leverage to teach the Gospel.
It’s a very tough environment.
India is spiritually a very dark place with an oppressive force a discerning Christian can feel apparently.
I saw whatchya did there!
2nd amendment ping.
Hindus are vermin and are the one religious group I would happily ban from the US if I could. But many Freepers admire one who is running for President. Remember also that Indian Americans regardless of religion vote 70% Dem.
NPR had a story on this yesterday:
They went out of their way to *not* mention that it was Hindu-on-Christian violence.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
