Which one is a greater demonstration of Arrogance

[Singhi Kaya]

Preaching can hardly yeilds converts~I'm not very knowledgable about christian expansion, but my guess would be that the sword had more to do with it than speech (however intrusive)

How is this so?

Christians criticise one another to help each other become aware of sin or behaviour that is contrary to the word of God. We are then meant to repent and turn to God in obedience as a result. If a person is following a road that leads to destruction, and a person who knows better keeps quiet, then believer doesn't love the sinner because he is allowing a being to destroy him or herself by remaining silent. Criticism is a way of dessiminating edifying information. The aim is to give every human being the information they need to be the best they can in this one life time. We want every human being to become like Christ. Criticism can be seen in the light of the parable of the seed sower.

Well this doesn't work well on hinduism, as we believe in reincarnation (many lifes) and Yogis are Christ like and even beyond that

Criticising others without questioning one's own self and beliefs can actually lead to destruction~for all.

Of course we don't think there is only one life time and one oppertunity to save ourselves from eternal hell, so self-introspection and quest for truth is the purpose of human life to us and not correcting other's based on our dogma. One teaches in hinduism only when one has become aware of God and truth~for the rest it is about continous search and not trying to judge other's when we ourselves are blind.

One can show light when one is enlightened, else we are doing a great sin taking other's into the path of darkness we are travelling. Such behaviour is regarded as demonic in hinduism.

Whatever you say. Obviously you have your beliefs and I have mine. I don't see what's "dark" about christ's teachings. Speaking for myself, I know God and I know the truth, if I didn't, I'd be a liar.

Critisizing another system/faith may have nothing to do with arrogance.

I would say for people belonging to the same religion and sharing the same scripture, it is quite reasonable to argue for the correctness of ones interpretation and criticize others. That is not arrogance.

But criticizing other religions that are not bound by your scripture is sheer arrogance. For that, you have to first prove yourself. Missionaires cant answer a single question themselves and yet indulge in criticizing other religions calling them devilish demonish etc.
