Jenny A is most likely referring to the hindu concept of 'Karma', which is basically taking action, NOT how it will effect your reincarnation as most believe in the west. Krishna in the Gita also clarifies that a man can only perform action/work and the result of that, reward or punishment, is up to "paramatma", so we shouldn't worry over it so much. At least doing your duty or work is more practical than "just believe and be saved".
And don't ignore the similarity between Matsya avatar scenario to that of the noah or gilgamesh.
Oh also don't forget, in Padma Puran, the Matsa Avatar story is reffered to as 'Tamas' meaning it is from darkness or ignorance. Christianity never claims any form of ignorance within it's texts.
And lastly, try and understand, christianity is not better than hinduism and the other way is the same. Religion is stupid and useless no matter whichever you are talking about.
