Re: Disproving Christianity easy as 1,2,3...
Namaste Friends,
Actually disproving anything is easy. A spiritual friend of mine used to relate a story.
An artist created an art work and put it up on a crossroad inviting comments from onloookers. Many people pasted their comments and not a single comment was kind and appreciative. People complained of imperfect nose and figures, dark background or excessively lighted background etc. Then the artist invited the commentators to correct the picture as per the visions of the critics. And no one came forward to create a perfect picture.
There is a raunchy story (I hope the spiritually minded people here will not take offence). It seems Ford, the great car enterpreneur, had a talk with God. Ford complained that God's creation (the woman) was imperfect from the word go. It had fat wobbly top and back ends, very narrow headlights called eyes. The intelligence systems were non-existent and the emotional systems totally unreliable and often dangerous. The sensors were all too imperfect, Ford told God very emphatically, contrasting with the perfect car that he had created. God pressed a key on His PC and boomed "Figures, however, reveal that more people are riding my creation."

All scripture, without exception teach "Surrender". Lord teaches so in Gita in the 18th Chapter. The Buddha teaches "The true bliss is giving up the conceit of 'I am'. The Muslim creed is Islam-Surrender. Bible also teaches "Thy will be done".
Devotees often tried to provoke great Advaita Guru Ramana Maharshi to speak against or criticise the Gurus and followers of other creeds, including Non-Advaita Hindu creeds. He taught "All scriptures commonly teach surrender. So, let us surrender completely and then find out what differences exist".

However, it is good entertainment and good past time to argue, if one comprehends the limits. It is also good to debate with open mind for one's enrichment. And for us discussions help remembrance.
Om Namah Shivaya
That which is without letters (parts) is the Fourth, beyond apprehension through ordinary means, the cessation of the phenomenal world, the auspicious and the non-dual. Thus Om is certainly the Self. He who knows thus enters the Self by the Self.
