Lure of Christianity divides Ulhasnagar Sindhis
- Mumbai
-
For the last five to six years, Ulhasnagar has been seeing a quiet spurt in the number of “prayer halls” where a pastor chaperones a weekly congregation. There are now between 50 and 70 such halls in Ulhasnagar, a hub of Sindhi traders and businessmen.
Whether it’s due to losses suffered in business or traditional family ties breaking down, several thousand Sindhis in Ulhasnagar have found themselves drawn to Christianity. Some of them belong to Hindu scheduled castes and a large number are poor Sindhis.
-
Local politicians say the number of “converts” in Ulhasnagar is around 7,000. “But the real figure is closer to 25,000,” says Pastor Chawla, who runs a trust that owns a 2,000-sq-foot prayer hall in Ulhasnagar Camp No 3.
That growing number has now drawn a sharp divide in a town that was, until now, more homogenous than other parts of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
A large number of Sindhis fleeing Pakistan during Partition arrived in Mumbai’s suburbs, settling in Chembur, Thane (Kopri) and a large number of them in Ulhasnagar, on the banks of River Ulhas. As the area developed, Sindhis nurtured their culture, making Ulhasnagar synonymous with the Sindhi population.

CHRISTIANITY IS A FRAUD AND A CULT.
Before converting to Christianity, it is important to know some facts.
1. Jesus Christ is a myth. He did not exist. The authors of the Bible, claiming to be his disciples who knew him personally, do not even know his name! JEsUs means a JEU = JEW. The s (-us) is a common Greek suffix, such as in JuliUS, RomulUS, etc. His name is basically JEU/JEW, a Jew, any Jew. Christ is NOT a Hebrew name, but a Greek one. It just means annointed. Over a hundred books have been written by famous white Europeans and Americans showing that the Jesus story is a fraud.
See: http://www.jesusneverexisted.com
Here is a partial list of books that prove that Jesus never existed and the Bible is a pack of lies:
Forgery in Christianity : by Joseph Wheless
The Age of Reason, by Thomas Paine.
The Christ Myth, by Arthur Drews, C. Deslisle Burns
The Forgery of the Old Testament, by Joseph McCabe
The Jesus Myth, by George Albert Wells
Some Mistakes of Moses, by Robert G. Ingersoll
"Pagan Origins of the Christ myth" by Jackson
Losing Faith in Faith : From Preacher to Atheist, by Dan Barker
The Encyclopedia of Biblical Errancy, by C. Dennis McKinsey
The Christ Conspiracy, The Greatest Story Ever Sold, by Acharya S
The Jesus Puzzle, Challenging the Existence of an Historical Jesus, by Earl Doherty
The Jesus myth was copied from the myth of Mithra, a Zorastrian myth. They scribes who wrote the bible just put middle-eastern man, a Jew (who were African negroes) in the place of Mithra.
2. The Bible (especially the Old Testament) is full of violence, barbarity, criminality, pedophilia and incest. It is so sickening, it is a lie to call this evil filthy barbaric book a “religious book.” See:
http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/cruelty/ot_list.html
http://www.evilbible.com/
3.There is little morals and culture in Christianity. Christians, even pastors, smoke, drink and use drugs. Christian women are loose.
4. Christianity is a cult with bizarre beliefs. The biggest fraud is: Worship Jesus and just believe in him and you will be “saved” and will go to heaven. Christianity says that a killer and a criminal will go to heaven if he only believes in Jesus but a good honest man who has never sinned will go to hell, just because he does not believe in Jesus. Why would God tell us to worship another man, not Him? God, if there is one, would judge people by their morality, character and good deeds, not believing in one man.
Another strange belief is that God sacrificed his only son (Jesus) for our sins? Sacrificed to who? Why would God sacrifice his own son to himself--why not just forgive us directly? And for my sins? We were not even born when Jesus supposedly died? How could we have sinned if we were not even born.
These bogus beliefs prove that Christianity is just a big fraud.
5. Christianity is morally bankrupt. There is little or no proscription against bad deeds like smoking and drinking and pleasure and little about love for family, dedication, morality, perseverance, nation, dedication, loyalty, bravery, persistence, self-abnegation, elevating one's race and nation above mere self, and God, in this life. The greatest of Whites had these noble virtues. But Christianity ignores all these noble virtues, and promotes a quick easy route to salvation : "Merely believe in Jesus and you will be saved. go to heaven (in your next life); else you will go to hell. " This is a cult.
Hinduism is the best and most civilized religion. Indians are going backwards by converting to this backward fraudulent uncivilized cult called Christianity.

1. Jesus Never Existed. Jesus Christ and his whole story in the Bible is just myth. 100+ books have been written by famous white Europeans and Americans proving this. The Jesus myth was copied from the Zorastrian myth of Mithra.
Since Christianity is based on Christ and he never existed, Christianity collapses.
2. The Bible (especially the Old Testament) is full of violence, barbarity, criminality, pedophilia and incest. It is a lie to call such a book a “religious book.”.
3.There is little morals and culture in Christianity. Christians, even pastors, smoke, drink, use drugs and sexually abuse women and children.
There are 1000's of websites on the internet exposing Christianity. Christianity is dying in the West, so they are trying to save it by fooling poor Sindhis in Ulhasnagar to convert. We must wake them up!!
