For me, I think Christianity can’t be true because I can never become comfortable with these tensions in that faith
1. God has only one son and will incarnate only once into one ethnicity (Jews) to save humanity but Satan deceived humanity by revealing to all nations as diverse idols and inspire an immense variety of civilisations and cultures
2. The creator of the universe ignores most of humanity for three thousand years since creation (except a group of 12 tribes in the Levant) but still the billions of humans who lived and died before 0CE will not to go to heaven for no fault of their own, whereas Satan revealed to them in the form of magnificent idols to supposedly deceive them while the creator God didn’t give a damn for those gentiles outside Israel for three millennia
3. Satan revealed himself in multiple demonic forms of multiple idols to multiple gentile nations but God would reveal himself only to the Jews and and rely on monarchic persecutions, invasions, and colonialism, to spread his true faith to the entire world outside of Judea
4. For humanity : multiple languages to describe the same world is okay, multiple cuisines to nourish the same human physiology is okay, multiple clothing traditions for covering the same body are okay, but when it comes to connecting to the divine, it is only just one God and one incarnate one time. No other way except Jesus of Nazareth.
5. God will forgive every sin when confessed and after penance (including murder) and make you get into heaven but not for idolatry (apparently a much more serious sin deserving of eternal hellfire)
People, please repost this everywhere. Forces are in civilian clothes and are opening direct fire on civilians. Later, they claim that the firing was carried out by JAAC members. Please help expose the truth and show the world what is really happening
A uniform does not make a person feel less pain.
Behind every badge is a beating heart, a family and a promise to serve.
Seeing on-duty police personnel assaulted is deeply disturbing.
Disagreement can have a voice.
Violence should never have a place.

FCRA: Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act
➜ Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) is the law that governs how Indian individuals, associations, NGOs, trusts and companies may receive and use money, securities or articles sent to them from a source outside India. It is administered by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA)
➜ #FCRA does three things:
💠 It identifies who may accept foreign contributions, and on what conditions.
💠 It specifies how that money must be received, accounted for, and reported.
💠 It restricts a narrow, defined set of foreign-funded activities that could affect India’s sovereignty, security or public order.
➜ FCRA establishes a clear, rules-based process for every organisation that wishes to receive foreign contributions in India

The Irish once called themselves the Tuatha de Danaan.
Children of Danu.
The same Danu appears in the Rig Veda as the mother goddess of the flowing waters. She is where the Danube gets its name. And the Dniester, the Dnieper, the Don and the Donau. And Denmark. And Greek Demeter. Northern Greeks called themselves Dannuni.
Two hills in southwest Ireland are still known as the Paps of Danu. At Beltane, fires were lit around them and cattle driven between the flames for protection and good harvest. The same ritual is described in the Vedas.
The oldest surviving Irish text, the Book of Invasions, records a tribe called Erainn, from Arya, arriving from the south by sea and making its way inland to the Hill of Tara. The Persians took the same name for themselves. Iran means the land of the Aryas.
These Vedic influences arrived in pulses. The Iranian is the oldest. A landward pulse followed the river valleys of the Dniester, the Dnieper, the Donau and on into Denmark, leaving the mother goddess's name behind at each stage.
The Celtic pulse came after 5,600 BC. The Celtic branch had by then separated from Italo-Celtic in the Mediterranean and continued up the Atlantic seaboard. The route is still readable on the map. Portugal. Galicia. Gaul. Pays de Galles. Cornwall. Galloway. Galway. The "gal" names trace the coast.
Ireland remembered its origin.
The old story of Aryan nomads riding into India from the steppe has no DNA support. Michel Danino reviewed nine large-sample genetic studies from 1999 to 2006 and found no invasion signal. The archaeological record shows no cultural break from prehistory. The outstanding character of ancient India is continuity.
The trails from Iran and from Ireland both lead back to India.
I set the full case out in "How Maritime Trade and the Indian Subcontinent Shaped the World."
This World Cup is hurting Messi more than it’s helping him.
Everyone can see the referees stepping in for Argentina every game and the worst part is that it’s becoming impossible to hide.
Deeply shocking to read this official US statement, which contains absolutely no expression of regret or condolence for the loss of innocent Indian lives. How can a “friend” and strategic partner be so deeply insensitive?
Why couldn’t a non-compliant commercial vessel have been stopped using other, non-lethal means? Is it not possible to disable a ship's propulsion or steering without firing missiles targeted to kill civilian crew members?
Practically every merchant ship navigating these crucial waters has Indian crew on board. Are they all considered fair game for US missiles now?
This approach is unacceptable and I hope @DrSJaishankar had said so to @marcorubio.
