Christianity has now for two thousand years been sitting on a time bomb of the supposed resurrection of Christ. If his physical remains are ever discovered by archaeologists, that will be the end of the religion as we know it. If Christ's resurrection is undone, Christianity will have to resurrect itself from its own death.
It is precarious to position a religion on suppositions having no basis in empirical evidence and, despite its proliferation throughout the world thus by feeding in to human superstitious clinging unto the fanciful and the fantastic, it is bound to one day come to grief and wind up trade when an enlightened citizenry will come to a better understanding of the workings of life and Nature. Hence, the Sanatan Dharma has nothing to worry about its survival in the face of Evangelical Christian proselytising if it itself is founded in truth. Like science has made its way through the superstitions of Christianity and rescued Europe from the Dark Ages, the Sanatan Dharma will enlighten humanity about the workings of the Spirit in times to come. Its very truth will uphold its banner.
My fretful friends, you need not so much be fearful of the demise of your dharma if you yourself are convinced about its truth. Now it depends whether you deem it to be so or not.
