Re: Anger crisis with Jesus
namaste Ekanta.
Well, we agree to disagree where it is required. IMO, critically examining the Abrahamic religious scriptures is different from attacking them or their prophets, so there is little chance of the Hindu viewers getting any wrong impression about its repercussions on Sanatana Dharma.
When I say that there is no conclusive historical proof that Jesus of Nazareth ever existed, it is not attacking him, but stating a critical perception which is also the perception of many Christian scholars. When I say the teachings of the Bible fall far short of the teachings of the Upanishads, again it is only a critical view, not an attack on the Bible. Only when I say about some Bible text something such as, "See, this is the same as what our scriptures say", if I don't also mention the Christian view of it, I give a wrong picture to a Hindu viewer.
This IMO is what we need to do in the forums on Abrahamic religions: try to critically explain the physical, religious and philosophical reality of their scriptures vis-a-vis ours.
