As well as about the insurmountable doubts on the religion's very foundations as given by biblical scholars and even theologians. Extract and translate books or articles of western countries to this effect and present them to children. It will immunise them against ever being misled and such educated kids will cease to be seen as viable targets by missionaries (from personal experience, door-knocking missionaries run off when you start questioning them about Nazareth, for instance). It will also prevent them from being taken in and then be angry about having been lied to and having foolishly accepted the lies for so long (raises hand). It would also stop the kids from growing up into Hindus ignorantly apologetic about christianity and thus sustaining or furthering the damage.
Christian apologetics by Hindus should end. Hindus, even those that see islam for what it is, don't recognise that christianity is no different. They are excusing one even when they no longer excuse the other. This is a major problem. Much of it has to do with how the west has long been doing what is essentially a PR campaign for christianity. The campaign works well apparently, because all over the formerly-colonised world, everyone is only too happy to forgive and forget its own first-hand experiences of christianity for what the advertisements tell them. There is also significant stifling or twisting of any factual presentations of history: Sassianians persecuted christians (without listing the tell-tale why), it is communalist to mention the christoterrorism in Goa or Syrian christo treachery and demolition, the crusades are now reduced to purely 'political', 'economical' reasons or at worst Papal greed.
Christianity and Islam are the same religion, but christianity is the version of islam that is a few centuries older: its conversion methods have in some cases advanced more.
- Outright conversion-or-genocide is still practised in secluded (out of international media's eye) regions like South America, Papua New Guinea, certain more remote parts of Africa, the hill tribes in Thailand and nearby, other remote tribes in Asia like in Vietnam and Indonesia, our own Nagas in Nagaland and people of Tripura, Meghalaya and the like.
- Otherwise, in places that are more in view of the world and the rest of the country, christianity uses underhand means: monopolising media and education (both skewing fair and accurate presentation of native religions in favour of demonising them while playing up christianity's 'morality'), inculturation, buying people to convert, schemes to convert a certain part of a country's demographic population ('dalits, tribes and lower castes' in India and in Lanka it's the Hindu Tamils. They have an eye on doing the same with Japan's Burakumin (sp?).
Different countries pose different scenarios that christo missionaries and their puppets seek to exploit.
