It seems I have hit the tune right!It is just like 2 sales persons selling a product one is a nice looking angmo and the other a local heartlander not so nice looking but you tend to listen more to that angmo and buy from him.

It is also like you feel nice walking into a church than a traditional temple which you feel awkward.

It is also like you are inside a lift speaking Chinese initially and when some angmo walk in ,you turn to English!

This is confident issue!Though I am not a religious guys knowing nothing about religions,I think more or less it is our weakness in ourselves that we are overwhelmed by anything foreign!

Why not all the resources of our educated people being poured into our borned to be religions like Taoism or Buddhism and built up the image of Temples to look modern like a Angmo Churches ,singing Buddhist or Taoist religious songs with hands holding high emotionally?Re-write the Taoist or Buddhist scripts with modern terms and influence our young to believe what you call to be true god!

I believe all these could be done if we are confident in ourselves!What say you?

I say that has already been done. You can look around and compare the results.

Buddhists youth have gatherings where they sing songs and fellowship together. The Soka Association has a very nice building, strong small groups, great bonding.

Muslims have gatherings for their youths with slogans like 'Love Islam".

I do not know about Hindus.

This is a free world and the methods of delivery are converging.

As to whether they will convert back it all depends on why they like that religion in the first place.

If they like the aircon, the excitement, the hard rock atmosphere, the relationships they can find, then they may convert if they find a more exciting place. That is probably the basis of your thoughts.

If they like the idea that God, so distant and unknown in the other religions, is so near and close to you in Christianity, then there is no way they can convert because that sort of reality is not found in Buddhism, Hinduism and to a certain extent, not found in Islam too (God, yes but personal God, no).

However all these are theoretical. What is important (at least should be important) is why are you focusing on this aspect and not on the more crucial aspect of living - is there God and is He found in Christianity? Because if you believe there is no God, then the rest is not important because it becomes doing good, living good and being good. That you can do without the need for religion.
