Look at the nation of India -- filled with brilliant people but yet poverty stricken. Could it be that the Hindu beliefs have anything to do with this countries extreme poverty? A religion that embraces 300 million gods!
Now compare this with the United States of America who for over 200 years has been under One God, the only God! America has been prosperous and blessed by God because we acknowledge him as THE God, holy and just is He. He has been the Rock on which America has stood in times of trouble and times of prosperity.
Yesterday a Hindu gave the opening prayer in the U.S. Senate. Are we asking the Hindu gods to bless America like they have blessed India? God forbid! America, wake up to the God who gave you life and do not forsake Him for foreign gods!!
I saw the following comment on OneNewsNow.com by Corinne and found it most interesting.

I left an extensive comment with examples of sanctioned Hindu religious brutality, but I want to add more for those who don't think there is much of a difference in how their religious views affect the laws of their country: in the streets of Calcutta and elsewhere in Hindu nations, children are kept in cages on the street - right out in public - to be used as slave prostitutes. They die at a young age, needless to say. There is no respect for life, for individual's rights in the mindset of a practicing Hindu--for proof of that, go see for yourself how they run their country. The poor also offer their babies in the river Ganges, as offerings to the river god, when they are in financial difficulty. I read the account of a missionary who was walking along the river Ganges. There was a woman weeping there, uncontrollably wailing. He asked her why she was crying. She pointed out to the river, where there were many little brown bodies, curled up, floating like half-way submerged brown balls. (That's what he thought they were, at first.) She said her family was in financial difficulty with her husband injured, and so she had to sacrifice her son to the river god. She said she did not want to do this. She said she had to, according to the Hindu religion. The missionary told the woman about the freedom from sin offered by Jesus' death and the love of Christ, that we don't have to do things like this to get forgiveness from God, or his help when we are in trouble. It comes through trusting in the death of His Son, Jesus, to pay for our sins and make us able to go to heaven. He said she grabbed his shirt and started shrieking, "Why haven't you come sooner to tell me this! I never would have killed my son if I knew this!!" Do we Americans (whether or not we claim Christ as Savior) really want to adopt the mindset of the Hindu religion and forsake the freedom found in the principles Christ taught and our laws, which use as a model the Ten Commandments?
