Check it out what the 'soldiers of God' are upto in Sri Lanka:
Christian evangelists are on a roll in Sri Lanka. During the past few decades many reactionary Christian organisations originating in the west have swept into Sri Lanka with the single aim of converting all non-Christians to Christianity. Having arrived in a 'third world' country, their reasoning is that all niceties and norms of decency can be dispensed with; evangelism is carried out through whatever means necessary without any thought for the consequence, even if this means creating a religious conflict. Sri Lanka must be on high guard if she is to preserve her religious harmony, for looking around the world it can be seen that religious conflict has not been far behind wherever Christian evangelists have set up shop.

And many of our retarded Christian priests are running about trying to support these people going about destroying religious harmony in the country. They are shameless people who have donned the frock for money and power, not for any love of their God or the people. |

How true Mr. Calculator!
All Catholic priests are darned crookes! Peidiophilies!, Hooligans...er, whatever the bad names come to your mind!
On the other hand all the Buddhist priests are saints, they never tell even a word outside the religious scripts, never put oil to communal fires, never sleep with young boys and never charge Rs. 5,000 each for sermons and never wear robes worth Rs. 10,000 and never live in luxury houses...
Don't we all know how one of our ex-Prime Ministers was killed by a Catholic priest?

| Pretty soon this Oswald Gomis will be demanding that all Harry Potter books be banned in Sri Lanka because they deal with 'witchcraft.' |

It is unfortunate but true that the history of the Church in this island has not been one that it can be proud of. If truth be told, the mainstream churches, hand in hand with the colonials, engaged in vicious forms of evangelism, trying to convert all the non-Christian natives to Christianity and bring them to the 'civilization' that the Europeans supposedly first brought to this country inhabited by brown-skinned 'pagans.'
The Church played a leading role in trying to wean away the natives from their culture and national religion - Buddhism or Hinduism, and used whatever means at their disposal to carry out this task. They shamelessly paid new converts to go around villages degrading Buddhism and they had no qualms about providing education through their schools if only the Buddhist and Hindu children would convert to Christianity.
Churches were built on the desecrated remains of Buddhist and Hindu temples, and for a long time the inveterate enemies of the Church remained the two religions of Buddhism and Hinduism which were adhered to by the vast majority of Sri Lankans. So it is with much concern today that the people of this country regard the lack of action taken by the Church to arrest the activities of the evangelists.
Is the Church falling back into its past history of openly attacking and trying to annihilate other religions? Is this the case in this 'age of enlightenment', and if so, how can such an openly hostile attitude towards other religions be conducive towards religious harmony? |
