| Hinduism is supposedly monotheistic but it seems more like
a polytheistic religion with many gods/goddesses.
Polytheism is much less obnoxious than monotheism. Ganesha , also spelled Ganesh, also called Ganapati, elephant-headed Hindu god of beginnings, who is traditionally worshipped before any major enterprise and is the patron of intellectuals, bankers, scribes, and authors. Like a rat and like an elephant, Ganesha is a remover of obstacles. Shiva is another major god in the Hindu pantheon. Some Hindus practice monotheism, giving one god or another more power than the other gods, just like Yahweh was the god of war in the Judaism's pantheon. The cow is a venerated animal. No McD quarter pounders available in Hindu communities. The cow is associated with Aditi, the mother of all the gods. Hindus even have a "cow holiday" called Gopastami (this year on Nov. 19) when all cows - even the ones left to wander through busy streets and rural villages - are washed and dressed with flowers. Apparently, Hindus have vigilante groups who burst into muslim homes, looking for beef in their refridgerator. Keep an open eye on any person venerating cows. They could be psycho. Apparently, cow urine has medicinal properties. Yum! Yum! Since Hinduism is more or less surrounded by Islam, the religion may be tempted to move to monotheism as a way to survive as Islam approaches it. Islam's prophet Mohammed recommended camel piss for it's medicinal properties. Triple Yum! Christianity has you regularly consume the blood and flesh of a demigod in a room full of chanting elders, for your protection. The Kumbh Mela is a Hindu pilgrimage held every 12 years. The festival celebrates the Hindu myth of Samudra manthan - the churning of the cosmological ocean by the gods and demons to get the nectar of immortality, known as amrita. This year's Kumbh Mela was celebrated in mid-April, 2021. Are we surprised that India has the largest Covid-19 outbreak to date that will peak in mid-May, 2021. Their particular problem is the lack of oxygen tanks mixed in with religious fervor. |

While I come from a family of Hindus, I'm an atheist and a
rationalist - I believe that all deities and religions are just
man-made fiction.
Why not notice the conspicuously similar traditions among tribes in East Africa, who are probably distantly ancestrally related to much of India's base population? For the Masai tribes of Kenya - the cow is a very valuable and important animal - their punishment for murder, is for someone's cows to be confiscated. Over there, as in India, the cow is the center of any village family's life, providing them with basic sustenance. The cow's strength can pull a plow to till a field, its milk feeds the children, even it's dung is used as to help crops grow. More than 80% of India's population lives in villages, not cities. Because the Indian Left have always railed against business, against free market economics, India's people - especially its vulnerable village-dwellers - continue to remain mired in economic stagnation, living the same lives they've lived since medieval times. It suits the Left politically to blame everything spiritual rather than to blame social breakdown and deterioration on repressive socialist governance, which is the Left's own bread-and-butter that it refuses to abandon at all costs.
Devadasi - Child Sex Trafficking in Hinduism - is absolutely disgusting and still prevalent today Devadasi is the practice of dedicating minor girls to temples. Devadasi means being a female slave for a god or deity. Devadasi became prevalent in Hindu Temples because of the belief that the temple should be an environment like heaven and the devadasis is the equivalent of Apasaras. Farquhar (1915; Modern Religious Movements in India) writes: Every Hindu temple aims at being an earthly reproduction of the paradise of the god in whose honour it was built...The Gandharvas are represented by the Temple-band, the Apsaras by the courtesans who sing and dance in the service. These are dedicated to the service of the god; they also give their favours to his worshippers. They are usually called Devadasis...[p.408-9]. Padma Purana Srishti Khanda (Chapter 52, verses 97-100) praises those who donate 8-year-old girls or beautiful maidens to a Brahmin (upper caste), Sage, or to a god in a temple, saying that they will achieve heaven for their donation Matsya Purana (Chapter 70, verses 56-57) outlines the duties of temple prostitutes, noting that a girl child given to the temple should satisfy all the sexual needs of the Brahmin Abbe Dubois writes in Hindu Manners, Customs and Ceremonies (Reprinted, 1992) writes that the Devadasis were generally recognized by the public as child sex slaves and prostitutes. Dubois notes that for the first few years, the Devadasis would likely be used exclusively for the sexual satisfaction of the Brahmins, but would later be forced into sexual servitude for anybody's use in exchange for temple donations. The famous Somnath Temple was said to have housed 500 Devadasis. (source unknown) Rajaraja Cholan was said to have donated 400 Devadasis to the temple in Tanjore. (source unknown) Famed adventurer and explorer, Marco Polo, observed that Hindu fathers and mothers often took great pride in dedicating their daughters to temples where they would serve the needs of the priests. Girls who had not yet acheived puberty were expected to always serve in the temple in state of nudity with only a cloth around their waists. Keep in mind, this is not some ancient long abandoned custom. This is still happening throughout Hindu temples even today! One article (India Today, September 27, 2017) notes that while the Devadasi system is technically illegal, young girls continue to be enslaved and sexually abused in Hindu temples throughout southern India. (NSFW and strong stomach required) Anyone interested in learning more about Hindu child sex trafficing might be interested in the VICE documentary Prostitutes of God Hindus of r/debatereligion, it is time to abandon and condemn the religion that promotes child sex trafficking.
The God of destruction came home from a long journey to find out he has a son,
who he didn't recognize, so he cut off his head. When the Goddess, his wife,
became angry, God replaced his son's head with a baby elephant head.
The God of creation attempted to incest marry his own daughter the Goddess of Wisdom Baby Krishna sucked the breast of a demon woman so hard she died from it The God of preservation sleeps on a giant snake and lives on a planet with lakes made of milk, according to some The Goddess of Destruction was once called out to destroy a demon by drinking his blood, but enjoyed it so much she began slaughtering the deities as well God Shiva killed the God of Love, Kama, by incinerating him because Kama dared to disturb his meditation one time And there are people who actually believe Krishna split his body into 14,000 clones of himself in order to marry 14,000 women. Also worth adding that the son was created by the god of destruction's wife scraping off the clay generated by her skin and molding it into a living statue, and then the wife told the son to prevent anyone from coming inside the house while she was taking a bath, which had been kind of a sore point of contention between the god and his wife recently. So the god of destruction is trying to go home and relax after a long journey while this kid he's never seen before is pointing a weapon at him and telling him to stay the fuck outside while his mom takes a bath.
