sri:

We have had such discussionsin the Vedics-UIC group and the transcripts are
a good read, but adiyen will point to the reply given in a court in Europe.

When the ISKON movement was gathering
momentum, the local Chiristian groups levelled many cases against Krishna 
Devotees. 
One of the stories i have heard (and verified for accuracy)
will give you the answer.

The devotee here is Sri Tusta Krishna dasan, 
he used to be in Sacramento, CA.
He used to defend all the Vaishnavas from
lawsuits and other negative-media coverage in the west.

====This is a true incident=========

There was a case once in Poland, saying that 
all krishna devotees are to be arested, 
many a temples and devotees were arrested for following a GOD who has 16108 
wives.
(Among other causes cited were idol worship is a sin etc)

Sri Tusta Krishna dasan defended Vaishnavas in court. Here is his arguement to 
the nun who had files the case against the Vaishnavas for supposedly serving an 
immoral God who married 16108 princesses.

In front of the the judge, he asked her whether she had a ring on her finger. 
She remained silent for a while. Then he asked her they put a ring on her 
finger they had told her that she was becoming the wife of Jesus. She remained 
silent. 

Then Sri Tusta Krishna Dasan turned to the judge and all in the courtroom and 
said:
" She criticizes Krishna for his many wives but worships Jesus 
who is married to all the nuns in the world." 

After a great laughter the judge dismissed the case in favor of the Vaishnavas.
