    Not exactly from hindu religion..christianity in kerala started with jewish christians who migrated as well as local jews who converted to christianity and started mixing with local people. Early days of kerala was predominently bhuddist people rather than hinduism. Still the names of lot of places reflect the buddhist influence…e.g many places with suffix “kota” shastamkota etc was bhuddist centres.

    bit of disagreement with the reality..more than hindu culture..kerala culture will be a better term. Kerala culture is derived from itselves as well as from middle east since there was lot of people from middle east migrated to kerala much before christianity started. Syrian christians still follows lot of jewish customs which most of the people are still unaware of. Similar things account for the muslim mappilas in kerala

    The mantrakodi is about casting a spell or mantra on the woman so no one steals her, so I don’t know if the bible supports witchcraft and mantrams and stuff. But I wonder, why is it that Christians have had to be subservient to hindus, and scared of them, so as to adopt all of their traditions, why don’t the Christians have the freedom to worship according to the bible?

    Genocidal …
    Genocidal Christianity is a hoax. Christianity is Roman war propaganda against the Jews and nonwhites. New testament was written by Romans to demean and destroy Judaism. Titus Flavius who destroyed the Jewish Temple commissioned the Christian hoax as a replacement for Judaism. Titus’ Flavius military campaign against Jerusalem was transformed into Jesus’ ministry against Judaism
