You must be kidding!!
The very theory of God postulate that He is influenced by the action of man, He watch the actions of man and reward the good and punish the bad. In other words, He controls the destiny of man. The theory is that if man can please Him, He will reward man with luck, wealth, power, health and happiness. That is logic why people worship Gods like Ganesha, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Durga, Vishnu, Shiva etc. According to the incarnation theory, Krishna and Rama etc incarnated because they care about earthly people, and they incarnated to bring peace and happiness to the earthly people.
Conversely, if God does not care about earthly people, why people need to care about and worship God?
If there is God, which I sincerely doubt, I believe He is not a compassionate and benevolent God. Otherwise why there is so much sufferings of the earthly people.

Does having more critics make a religion more favorable to God, if there is a God? And if there is a God, would he be bothered by the action of the earthly people?
How is God being partial? Can affluence be eternal peace or a step closer to God?

Umesh:
Frankly speaking, I doubt if God will help you.
If Rama and Krishna were genuine incarnations of God, they would have, by this time, established themselves firmly their positions against Western Christian critics. That they have not done that, shows that either there is no God or they were fake incarnations, and guys like you are trying their best to believe something which is not true.
What do you say? Do you think God is partial to Christianity?

well I agree to that.
I need God's help again.
after eating Chinese dish -which did not mention what was in it (i avoided seafood -since my last attack in Jan-for same reasons perhaps -though my students had eye flu too) I look Chinese too - eyes are mere slits. The rashes have gone but breathing is still heavy .

This means the Hindus will haqve to do some homework to establish
historicity of Rama and Krsuhna. This does not mean they are all myth, but
they have to prove otherwise.
Compare these to Jesus.
