well would an illiterate,poor Hindu or Muslim know that getting holy water poured over their heads means that they have unknowingly embraced Christianity.

I'm sure in the past there have been a few numbers obsessed missionaries that might resort to certain measures. But they see it as saving souls that might have been doomed in their mind.

Those kinds of people are a bit terrifying for me.

I hope you see that willingly converting to another religion is very different than the situation I just described.

Haan, but if some Christian dude came up to me and pored some water over my head, I still wouldnt consider myself a Christian...
The intention is just as important or more important then the act.

I know missionaries arent exactly the type of people we like to associate with, but they have to be dealt with...

I just think that instead of getting upset, Hindus should make an effort to do their own missionary work... I mean, to convert means you have to have a huge spiritual hole inside you... Hindu missionaries should trump the efforts of Christian Missionaries by filling that spiritual space that would otherwise make for a breeding ground for mass conversions.

I think neglect of these poor people, both in terms of spirituality and in more tangible ways is what creates the problem... Missionaries only fill the gap for society has failed.
