My gf said that when Krishna was born, the king slaughtered all the male children to try to kill Krishna, like what happened with Jesus. How should I respond to that?
 
I’m by no means knowledgeable about hinduism, but I quick search on the story of Krishna’s birth doesn’t indicate a mass slaughter of all male children in a region. Rather, according to the tale the evil king imprisoned Krishna’s mother and father who had been prophesied to give birth to Krishna and killed their children as they were born.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krishna#Birth
sanatan.org/en/campaigns/KJ/birth.htm

Certainly there’s a common theme of persecution to prevent a savior’s birth, but is not as close a correspondence as your girlfriend is implying.
 
From Srimad Bhagavatam 10:3:22, where Krishna’s life-history is described:
O my Lord, Lord of the demigods , after hearing the prophecy that You would take birth in our home and kill him, this uncivilized [King] Kamsa killed so many of Your elder brothers. As soon as he hears from his lieutenants that You have appeared, he will immediately come with weapons to kill You.
Kamsa didn’t try to kill all male children.
 
Don’t forget one thing:

Krishna is a demon.

Jesus is God Incarnate.

Ask her if she’s serious, and if she is, ask her for proof.

There are several similarities between Jesus and many other deities from different cultures/beliefs. They’re called “rebirth deities” (including Jesus).

So, there’s really no response to that. Otherwise, you can take the weak road and say, “The Devil did it.” but I really don’t want you to go there because that would be invalid… and embarrassing.

Amen, but how did you guess Krishna is demon?
I know this question is not directed at me, but I have to say, Krishna is not a demon. I am no Hindu, but I am smart enough to know a demon when I read of one, and Krishna is no demon.

Because David said in the Psalter, "The gods of the pagans are demons."

to Hindus , Krishna is God Incarnate.


**Just like to Mahometans, Mahomet is a prophet, but that doesn’t make that pedophile so–and any grown man who has sex with a 9 year old girl is by definition a pedophile.

Isa akbar!

Isa akbar!

ISA AKBAR!

I bear witness there is NO GOD but Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and Jesus is God Incarnate risen from the dead.**

Disgusting, look how you speak evil of someone who people love more than their own family. What if they spoke lies about Jesus, would you appreciate such a great lack of reverance?

This is why many do not believe in Our Christ, because of our evil mouths
 
Everyone breath.

Both Christianity and Hinduism cannot be correct. That is an absolute.

If Hinduism is correct, Christians are following a false religion. This religion may be a man made construct or it may be of insidious origin.

If Christianity is correct, Hinduism is a false religion. This religion may be a man-made construct or it may be of insidious origin.

If a Christian holds that it is of insidious origin, and Biblically he can, then as long as he can show why, it is not hateful to say as much. It may be delivered in a uncharitiable way, but that does not make it false or something that should not be said.
