When Growing up, you watched Hindi movies, Chinese movies and Japanese movies in addition to Walt Disney. In the various movies and cultures, there was a depiction of good human beings, evil human beings and of heroism.  It had nothing to do with religion necessarily but the movies depicted faiths also that echoed the principles of the Christ.   If you chose to be a good human being, it had nothing to do with the code of faith but  personal conduct.  Are you the evil Hindi character or the evil Chinese character? Evil was consistently evil regardless of the culture in which it was depicted. Evil hurts people and its own family mindlessly and senselessly for unusual feelings of fear, jealousy or comparisons that rest in the mind inexplicably of the evil character. If you chose to be a Christian in the Cul de sacs of Yonkers, it was because you weren't going to be speaking Chinese, Indian or Japanese any time soon but the code made quiet sense. You would still play High School sports and dream of a Big Jaguar or Cadillac SUV built by.   $60,000.00/ per year employees who give back to the economy $30000.00 in their own consumption and expenditures instead of $80,000.00 per year prisoners ( the cost to house and guard a prisoner) who buys nothing as if you need a black bird in a cage for Southern identity.  You can also think of a  1996 Audi Quattro and you would follow that quiet code depicted in various cultural expressions including Walt Disney, GI Joe Cartoons or the Power Rangers.  As such,  it is likely that a Christian from North America who grew up in such a multiplicity of cultures will understand a Hanzo sword while he also understand the word of God that cuts asunder bringing separation between the bone and spirit.  If you think of your Christianity as an ancient code  that goes way back to the beginning of time, then it might help. It is ancient. It is commensurate in teaching to any other ancient code or way of faith.  You don't need to panic at this suggestion but you can see the idiocy of an evil Hindu practitioner asserting religious superiority while he is fixated on killing or resenting his relative or in-law because the relative decided to stay in the Calcutta Government School until 30 years old.  Some people in the West Indies take study to the extreme of resentment and, as an expression of national identity, you wish to target the people who pursue study and hire foreigners and foreign non West Indian graduates instead.   Instead of playing "Spectre" and using those graduate types as a target,  hire them in the West Indian association or simply release them as targets in your community. They have helped people from all back grounds; including West Indians.   Returning to our original story, the Calcutta Government School graduate had  honored his parents wishes to stay in school so that he could explain the benefits of passing on property to the next generation by registering them as joint tenants before death instead of leaving it in limbo with a Will.   You need to also communicate the joint tenancy to the children so they know their rights of abode and ownership upon the death of the older relative. A Will( last will and testament) is Limbo.  That is why they created the dance; to warn you in the West Indies since you don't hear the East Indian ancestry who has no time for this angry culture more than 200 years after the French abandoned chattel slavery.  They realized early that they needed consumers for the finished goods of the future to be produced on mass; goods  envisioned such as Chanel and Vuitton and there was no need to continue such a practice since you pay for everything but there is no consumption of the finished goods.  That is why India, France and Taiwan have a GDP that exceeds  that of the United States although they are geographically smaller countries. Using the 13th amendment to turn prisoners into free labor or labor at 23 cents an hour might sound lucrative to someone but who wants the product regardless of how beautiful the design or the quality of the beef?  The justification is not racial. Black people are free and equal according to the preamble and general wording of the constitution as confirmed and amplified by the 14th amendment.   We know this since we have evidence that Black people owned slaves before its abolition.  If the only motive is fear of death in drilling and bolting car parts together and not job quality, then the proponents of this kind of labor have defeated a capitalist tenet that purports the importance of motivation, reward and pride in labor and capitalism.  Communism respected a basic minimum motivation and that was a certain and basic freedom along with an obligation to show up to work with health, dental, shelter and some monies provided but not enough monies to continually stimulate the internal market.  Do you know Mr. Ghoudas ?  In any event,  you can see  the idiocy of an Evil Christian Bishop who believes Christian talk about weddings and betrothals must stay quite limited to the notion of "no children or coitus in a God honoring Betrothal before a wedding ceremony"  or else he will have nothing to talk about or he will have fewer people to judge  in terms of  people living in sin or what he calls eloping.   He is murderously angry with anyone who will point out that Mary and Joseph went to the inn to find shelter for her impending delivery during their betrothal.  They had little money as the story tells us and resorted to a manger. As such I sometimes wonder why they did not, with little resources, just give birth at Joseph's place or Mary's place or go to Elizabeth and Zacharias who lived down the road.   Jewish custom gives couples conjugal rights prior to the wedding ceremony and this may involve the birth of children.  This did not change after Christ's resurrection.  Your Bishop, regardless of his preaching on living in sin, is not likely to refuse to celebrate your wedding ceremony if  the child of the God honoring union is the flower girl or ring boy.   Doesn't this kind of wisdom happen a lot with Black people and no one judges them?    This is because what is not done in faith is sin. You cannot live in sin unless you have no faith in what you are doing; for the good.
The aim, whether you are sitting with Christians, Hindus, Jews or Buddhists is to approximate some evident earthly good in behavior so there is salt and light in your community and family; your rita or dharma.

Hebrews 4:121599 Geneva Bible (GNV)

12 [a]For the [b]word of God is [c]lively, and mighty in operation, and sharper than any two edged sword, and entereth through, even unto the dividing asunder of the [d]soul and the [e]spirit, and of the joints, and the marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts, and the intents of the heart.
