HINDUS: Dumbest Religion, Dumbest People! Grimo Starvers Give FOOD To Gods! GOD!

religions.
You know," 72 virgins," praying with asses up/faces down 5 times a
day, killing people for criticizing Mohammad or his asinine cult,
"honor" murdering females for no good reason, and denying them
education, again--no good reason.
A piece-of-shit-religion if we ever saw one. It drives the world's
major terrorist groups.
But wait!
"HINDUISM" could be even worse.
Over in India, where fully 90-percent of its population of 1.1 billion
lives in filthy, sweaty poverty, where starvation often comes to
dinner--these Hindu jerks "give" food to statues of their so-called
"gods," for no good reason. They call the food giveaways "offerings."
To statues depicting entities no sober human has ever seen!
Of course, the Hundus also take mass communal baths in the Ganges
River, in which, coincidentally I'm sure, they also crap and piss and
draw their drinking water. All in the name of a bunch of gods, who,
their "divinity" notwithstanding, seem to have relegated the faithful
to grungy impoverishment--from time immemorial! And naturally, the
3,000-year-old Hindu-grounded CASTE system STILL affects most societal
and customary "laws" and cheats hundreds of millions of unfortunate
human beings out of education and professional occupations, to mention
but a few of the system's "closed-shops."
If some advanced aliens from "outer space" visited India and were told
It was "the world's largest democracy," they'd laugh and laugh.
"If this is democracy," the aliens would say, "what's deprivation?
What's an untouchable?"
Anyway, if ever you, for some stupid reason, happen to find yourself
in India, enjoying its 118-degree F. weather, don't forget to to feed
the gods. Or else!

"In India, Even Gods Are Going Hungry"
"Poor Struggle to Donate to Temples as Food Prices Skyrocket"
By Emily Wax
Washington Post Foreign Service
Wednesday, April 30, 2008; A10
NEW DELHI -- Every morning, Hindu devotees haul buckets of fresh,
creamy milk into this neighborhood temple, then close their eyes and
bow in prayer as the milk is used to bathe a Hindu deity. At the foot
of the statue, they leave small baskets of bananas, coconuts, incense
sticks and marigolds.
But recently, Ram Gopal Atrey, the head priest at Prachin Hanuman
Mandir, noticed donations thinning for the morning prayers. He knew
exactly why: inflation.
With prices soaring for staples such as cooking oils, wheat, lentils,
milk and rice across the globe, priests like Atrey say they are seeing
the consequences in their neighborhood temples, where even the poorest
of the poor have long made donations to honor their faith.
"But today the common man is tortured by the increases in prices,"
Atrey lamented during one early morning prayer, or puja, adding that
donations of milk were down by as much as 50 percent. He had recently
met with colleagues from other temples, along with imams from local
mosques, who reported similar experiences. "If poor people don't even
have enough for bread, how will they donate milk to the gods?" he
said. "This is very serious."
From Haiti to Senegal to Thailand, prices for basic food supplies have
skyrocketed in recent months. The increases have been attributed to a
confluence of factors including sharply rising fuel prices, droughts
in food-producing countries and the diversion of some crops to produce
biofuels. In India, milk prices rose because of increases in gasoline
prices, which made it more expensive to transport the product from
dairy farms to cities.
The U.N. World Food Program has said that more than 100 million people
are being driven deeper into poverty by sharply rising food prices,
which have sparked riots and protests from Bangladesh to Egypt. The
crisis is serious in India, where nearly half the children younger
than 3 are undernourished, a higher rate than in sub-Saharan Africa,
according to UNICEF, the U.N. agency for children.
In New Delhi, the price of rice rose by 20 percent and the price of
lentils by 18 percent in the past year. Cooking oil prices have
climbed by 40 percent over the same period. The price of milk, which
is essential in both diets and religious rituals, rose more than 11
percent in the past year.
Milk is literally the nectar of gods in India. Most temples in the
south use it at least twice a day to bathe Hindu statues, since it
symbolizes the eternal goodness of human beings and is seen as a
generous offering to the faith.
Across the country, milk also symbolizes life and death. Bodies are
anointed with purified butter before cremation. Milk is a main
ingredient in paneer -- a cheese-cube dish known here as the king of
all foods -- as well as yogurt, curries, tea and sweets. And milk is
often the main meal for children younger than 5.
While poverty rates in South Asia have decreased in recent years, more
than 400 million people remain under the poverty line and account for
nearly 40 percent of the world's poor, according to the United
Nations. Although India's soaring economy has generated service-sector
jobs, most of the workforce is still made up of men who lay bricks,
sell fruit, or are hired as day laborers, making them among the most
vulnerable to a spike in prices.
Munapar, a father of eight who lives in a makeshift camp of migrant
workers, said he came to New Delhi in hopes of a better life. Instead,
he has found hardship.
"We had to stop eating lunch. And we had to completely stop drinking
milk," said Munapar, who is from India's northern state of Uttar
Pradesh, one of the country's poorest and most lawless.
Munapar's wife, Rukshana, pointed to their youngest, Mavis, a weak and
gaunt-looking 5-year-old. "He wants milk and biscuits, but we don't
have enough," she said. "If a child is feeling distress, the mother
also feels the pain."
"In the village, we had food," Munapar said, picking the flies off his
children, who sat barefoot and listless in the heat. "But here, we
can't plant. We can only buy. We know that others in India live
comfortably. Meanwhile, we are suffering."
Victor Aguayo, the chief of child nutrition and development at
UNICEF's New Delhi office, said the agency was investigating the full
extent of the impact of price increases on children and women.
Already, he said, officials know prices are escalating at rates they
have never before seen.
Indian newspapers have been filled with headlines about the increases,
especially for milk, since many Indians are vegetarians who depend on
milk and its byproducts. At a roadside tea shop in the capital, Raju
Kumar, 33, said his sales for milky chai have dropped by half in the
past month, while the price of milk keeps rising.
"I feel sad because I can't give my children the bread and vegetables
they dream of," sighed Kumar, a father of three, as he scooped cups of
boiling milk into a pot filled with black tea.
At a hilltop temple in New Delhi, visitors headed inside for a 6:30
p.m. puja, during which the statue of a Hindu deity would be bathed in
milk, sandalwood paste, water and honey. S. Shanti, 27, said she came
to pray for a job in India's railway service.
With prices rising and a lack of work, she said, she had less to offer
to the temple.
"How can we manage?" Shanti said, as she looked over at other
worshipers bearing small baskets of bananas and coconuts. "God please
grant my wishes. Things are so costly now. We need help."

India is not India without the caste system.

This is not only done in India, but it is also done in China, Vietnam,
and most of the Buddhist countries. This silly cultural ritual
continues in America by the same Asians brought over by the same silly
people in modern society.

No, Christians are.
They believe man can be GOD!
They worship a man in direct violation of their own teachings.
The Laws of Moses.
Thou shalt have no Gods before me.
Bel was a Christos, the "Salmon of Knowledge".
The Bible says that is not God, Rev 19:10, Jesus is not either.

childish and irrational are better terms. So religion, a totally
human construct, is stupid, childish, and irrational.
The 'ayes' have it ... now let's move on ...
pg
Does that include "Communism", "Socialism", "Capitalism" ???
Azure
About as childish and irrational is the Atheist who hunts religious
Groups insulting those of Faith.
If you have a comment that is one thing, but to hunt groups just to find
a fight is the same as the Christian Right the Atheists hate so much.
Rev 19:10, Jesus is not GOD!
Just because a person believes in "GOD" does not make them a Jesus
Freak.
