look at how few Indian Christians there are
jfung79
There are some 30 million Christians in India, according to secular sources. Kerala, Goa, and northeast India all have sizeable Christian populations.

So while I also am not Christian, and I feel it is unfortunate that so many Asians have converted to Christianity --

I would dispute that there are not many South Asian Christians.


So it's in no way a East&Southeast Asian vs. South Asian thing, in my opinion.

I meant Indian Americans.

Kerala and Goa are only xian because the Portuguese colonized that area and those bastards were trying to force people to convert xianity

Colonization was pan-Asian, so don't blame the E/SE Asians (particularly SE like Vietnamese and Filipinos) either!

I thought the Christian community in Kerala dated from the early centuries A.D.?

Thanks for clarifying that you meant Indian-Americans, but there are significant numbers of Malayali Christians in the U.S. too, no?


In general I think colonization is why there are so many Asian Christians. Most of Asia was colonized, not just South Asia. Even where there was no official colonization, the West had a lot of economic power. So the conversion didn't happen entirely by choice ... There was economic benefit to it.

Then the converted Christians in Asia passed their religion on to following generations that moved to the States.


In general, I am pretty sure that most East and Southeast Asian-Americans, just like most South Asian-Americans, are not Christian. But the Christians are very visible because they are evangelical.

Holy war, war, war, and missionaries. Islam is the world's #2 religion. They also had(still do) holy wars and missionaries. Religion through fear, how great icon_rolleyes.gif

Hinduism and Buddhism are in the top 5 religions in the world. They do not promote their religion or force people to convert. They do no put fear into people to make them convert.

And they don't instigate wars claiming their god told them to. And they don't attack or oppress those with differing opinions. And they're not represented by hippocrites who loudly proclaim some of the tenets of their religion while at the same time, breaking many other tenets. And the list can go on further if I felt like it.

I agree. Most people that goes into the "religion" section are non-christian that arent open minded at all. All they do is "those damn christians, white washed, stupid religion, falsehood." So stfu. Look, you aren't going to make poeple hate God with the brainless flames. have some intelligence in your words. Don't dis on others' religion.

Jesus is whatever skin color you want him to be. He never walked this earth. Maybe in bible world, but not this world.

He walks and lives in the minds that believe in him.

Jesus is frickin Asian (Hebrews are techinically Asians). And there are independent Christian churches that are from Asia, eg Church of Christ and that Moon guy's church.

and old Asian religions are very real too and not falsehoods.

The bible is the ONLY one.

No one has the slightest physical evidence to support a historical Jesus; no artifacts, dwelling, works of carpentry, or self-written manuscripts. All claims about Jesus derive from writings of other people. There occurs no contemporary Roman record that shows Pontius Pilate executing a man named Jesus. Devastating to historians, there occurs not a single contemporary writing that mentions Jesus. All documents about Jesus got written well after the life of the alleged Jesus from either: unknown authors, people who had never met an earthly Jesus, or from fraudulent, mythical or allegorical writings.

Christ never existed. Jesus Christ did not invent or found Christianity. All evidence that can be gleaned from a scholarly examination of authentic history points to an obvious conclusion: there never was any Jesus Christ roaming about in 30 A.D. or thereabouts teaching a new religion. The whole story was invented and concocted much later. It was patched together out of bits and pieces of other religios text, until finally they had a movement going that pulled in the Roman Emperor Constantine. It was this Roman Emperor, who in the year 313 A.D. put Christianity into business.

Still No Bible at 300 A.D. At this time the Christian movement, although nearly 300 years old, still did not have a written text or Bible. Under the powerful direction of Emperor Constantine a convocation of church fathers was called. At this meeting a number of scripts and writings were put together and a heated controversy ensued over a period of several months. Many writings were considered, discussed, argued over, and reviewed. Some were revised, some were rewritten, some were rejected. The final package that emerged from the Council of Nicaea was what was called the New Testament, a contradictory, demented conglomeration of far-out nonsense.

To it was patched the Jewish Old Testament. The Christian movement now had a Bible, with Constantine as final arbiter. Constantine exercised the full powers of his position,financially, militarily and in terms of legal enforcement to now promote Christianity and crush all opposition. Christianity was now on its way.

The funny thing is, Christianity is a Middle Eastern religion, not a European one. So virtually all Europeans are sell-outs for converting from Paganism to Christianity.
