I would like to ask you the readers some questions regarding Christianity, Culture, and our Relevance to society as Indian Christians in a Western Culture. Take the time to go through these and submit them back to us:

1. Should culture be the primary characteristic upheld after our spirituality?
2. How can we as Indian Christians speak to "Americans" about Christ in a relevant manner, if we only attend our Indian churches?
3. If you were a pastor and one of young in your 'flock' decided to marry outside of race, would you do the marriage?
4. What kind of a mindset should an Indian Christian have when bringing a newly saved person to church?
   
5. Does Christ's love supersede our affinity towards our culture? (this question is almost always going to be yes...so no need to answer it unless you have a different opinion)
   
6. If you saw an Indian on the side of the road who needs help, would you help him more often than if you saw man from another race?
7. Do you as an Indian Christian only associate with other Indian Christians, or do you have friends from other races? If so why do you or why do you not?
8. Have you ever felt racism in the Western culture? Has anyone from the Western culture felt racism when around you?
9. How does compassion and reason play into our Indian minds when it comes to helping the poor, needy, and destitute?
10. How in your opinion can we become more relevant in our Western society? Should we be relevant at all?

These are very serious questions. Take the time to think about them and chew on what you'd answer before you reply. I just felt that with all the discussion going on like it is, maybe it would help everyone reading to set straight a few things before we go on.

Thanks,

So I was pretty dissappointed with the other quiz. So I created a new one- I might add more questions later if you can suggest some. But here it is- go take it and tell me what you think-

How Indian Are You?

Happy testing!!

I have some problems with the how Indian are you quiz, but here is what I got. 47%!! That's even lower than what Jerry or Aksa got! What is wrong with me? But you know, there is an issue with this quiz. It was obviously created by a Hindu that believes that unless you are Hindu- you aren't Indian. It's obvious from the first question on the quiz: "Do you eat meat?". Well yeah, I eat meat- I eat lots of meat, I eat meat for breakfast, lunch, AND dinner. Doesn't make me any less Indian. I don't have to be a Hindu to be Indian. Christianity has been in existence in India for over a thousand years- it is safe to say that Indians are Christians too. So yea, the quiz is biased so the answers don't stand. Ergo, I believe I am more Indian than the guy who made the quiz. And I think you would agree, eh?
