This issue have been bothering me a lot. I was quite surprised to see number of Christains surging in my town. Almost all of the converts are the ones who is struggling to meet their ends and from the so called "lower caste". When I went home, I was talking with one of the converts and he said "we have a new God 'Yesu' (thats what they say in Nepali) and he still has tika in his fore head. These missionary ppl are targeting the most vulnerable people in our society and convert their religions. I feel sorry for Nepali ppl including me coz we think 'calling ourselves' atheist is a matter or pride. Donot forget guys Hinduism is an ethnic religion so it is a way of life. You may not go to temple every week but you can still practice Hinduism. What I wanna say to those folks who say "I am an atheist", "Donot celebrate Dashain, Tihar, nothing. Do not put your head in the feet of your parents. Deny to put the tika on your forehead when your mom is about to bid you farewell when your leaving home." Can you do that? I just think most of us left home quite early and are confused about our culture. Remember guys its not cool to forget and leave behind what we have coz we wont realize how important it is until we loose it and the day we loose it we cant revert back.  To sum up: HINDUISM = Our Culture + Tradition. What makes Nepal peculiar is its culture and tradition. The day its culture and tradition fades away the whole country fades away from the eyes of everybody.

Who says Buddhism is not a religion? Hinduism and Buddhism are not same. That whole thinking mentality and bias attitude towards other communities are the greatest threat to Nepal. Actually it is threat to those who feel threatened. For too long, they enjoyed their monopolies and treated others like untouchable. lets give few examples. 1. Govt collects $1000 per tourist to visit upper mustang. Even though govt promised to donate 60% of fee collected, mustangi has not received any money. 2. Look at Lumbini. Govt uses Lumbini and Buddhism as a begging bowl when leader goes overseas. There is no representation at higher level. All the donation god know where it goes. 3. there are so many...

 @Karma, I understand your frustration. But we have a bigger problem at our hands. So called "Christ lovers" are causing unrepairable fragments in our society. Their ancient cave man/women thinking is going to make our society living hell.       We are trying to talk about religious tolorence among people. Hindus and buddhist are much more tolerant among each other.  Do not let them ruin our bright future. They want us to go back to dark ages. They want to control our sexuality and enslave our women.  Also someone said in earlier thread that christians fought for gay rights, science education and abortion issues in Nepal. Are you insane ? The only things these fking christards have done in Nepal is molest our young vulnerable young kids. No wonder they don't like abortion, they want to molest these unwanted kids after and if they ever are delivered alive.

Last time I checked religion was a story. I'd rather believe in a plausible theory than some make believe stories.

मेरो बिचरमा सनातन धर्मालम्बी हरुलाई यि नयाँ धर्म आप्नाउने हरु बाट त्रसित हुनु पर्ने देखिन्छ । सहरको एक रुप थियो अब अर्को रुप देखिने भयो । त्यो कथामाडु शहरको बिचोबिच अब चिहान घारि बनाउनु पर्‍यो अनी त्यो पनि २० रोपनी चाहिन्छ रे , सरकार मागी खाने भाडो , सक्ती प्रदर्सन गर्‍यो कि थला पारी हाल्यो । त्यो पैसा खाएर र ख्वाएर धर्म किन बेच गर्ने हरुले तिनिहरु मरे पछी मसान घाट चाहिछ भनेर पहिलै ब्यबस्था गर्नु पर्दैन , अरु धर्म ले पनि जलाउछन नि ? जलाउदैनन र ? जलाउने भए पछी देस गुनाको भेस गर्नु परेन ? जलाउ तिमीहरु पनि किन बिगारछौ शहरको रुप , के त्यो चिहान घारिनै बनाए पछी र त्यहा गाडे पछी मात्रै तिमी हरु एसु भा ठाम पुग्ने भयौ हाम्रा हिन्दू धार्मालबिले बाजेलाई दान दक्षिणा दिएर स्वर्ग द्वार खोले झै ?

 @ mozzella      Have you been eating too much cheese ? Evolution is only theory (hahahahaha ???)  Are you stupid ? ???     Gravity is only theory too. Go jump off of Mt. Everest.  Learn what it mean to be a scientific theory before saying ignorant shit here. Evolution is a theory not a conjecture or hypothesis. Evolution has been proved by all the fossil evidence and overbearing DNA evidence also. Learn more before you speak. (YOu must also believe dinosaur bone are put under the earth by the devil.)  Why I am wasting time with ignorant person I don't know ???
