Current Events > Man, if Republicans are mad about Islam they are going 2 be crazy over Hinduism

(+) Yeah! (+)

Multiple Gods.
Love between the Gods.
Constant death and destruction of humans because of said Gods.

Gods with no other reason but to kill and destroy.
SEX between Gods (horrors!)

A God that is all powerful, but not necessarily all days of the week.

And many humans trying to gain favor through their selected God of worship choice.

That sounds like literally every pagan religion

Do you want them to, or

I mean, that's pretty much the same as Greek mythology.

---

As a Republican, I have to say that you're right, TC. Thanks to you, I'm going to dedicate myself to hating Hindus.

---

every religion ever: "We are right, you are wrong!"

Wait until they hear that the bible teaches that greed is bad, that foreigners need to be welcomed and the poor and sick need to be helped.

Islam: 10/10

Hinduism: 6/10

I may be biased, though

Sorry 10 was the lowest score and 1 was the highest

It's an Abrahamic religion, like the other two. We all worship the same God and our backstories and teachings overlap to an extent

I guess after X number of years hating on Muhammad (pbuh peace to the prophet) and Allah (swt), they will find something BIGGER to go after.

You literally do not fuck with Brahma. But I expect Republicans to find a bone to pick with Hindus. And not all Hindus live in India either.

republicans love red meat and beef though

Do you have a point, TC

---

The right hates islam, but the left hates Christianity

---

Luckily the average republicans iq is 50 and I am being generous lol. Do you honestly expect some low iq republican blue collar worker to have the intellectual curiosity then the motivation to actually look into and read about Hinduism?
Unless one of their russian propaganda news sources like fox news brings it up republicans will continue to remain oblivious.

I think most people's issue with Islam is the violent extremism and archaic views

---

Why would the religious right have issues with "archaic views"? They're exactly the fucking same.
---

Hinduism is foreign enough that it's not threatening. Islam is too close for their comfort

That's an issue with Muslims, not Islam fwiw

But it is an issue. Shame the American religious right also has similar issues currently

Nope, Hinduism is not like Paganism. I also want to continue living, so I shall not compare the two.

Well it would make a fitting end to the Republican Party and "conservatism".

Conservatives in 2002: The Muslims were responsible for 9/11.
Conservs in 2008: Barack HUSSEIN!!! Obama is a Muslim.
Conservs in 2016: Radical Islam Terrorism, Repeats 3x.
Conservs in 2030: Hindus and all their damn gods, they're worse than Muslims.
Conservs in 2034: Why did we only get the white vote in this election?
Conservs in 2038: Oh we're sorry we insulted Nikki Haley she's a nice *Hindu

The ignorance of sheer ignorance. It eventually bites people in the butt.

Nimrata Nikki Haley (ne Randhawa) was brought up a Sikh. Don't confuse the conservatives!

You'd think, but it's not

Now all we need to figure out is how dangerous islamists and jihadis are, and how many there are, compared to hindus. oh wait the answer is a shit load, I believe.

No Hindu is gonna cut your head off for drawing a cartoon of Vishnu or whatever.

kinda makes you wonder why so many religions are told and practiced the same way....its almost like they all come from the same source...

All religions are fake and are dangerous to individuals and society due to how they inspire magical thinking and an unjustified adherence to tradition

Citizenship Amendment Bill: India's new 'anti-Muslim' law explained

The CAB almost is meant to excite someone to extremism; if you look at who it protects vs. who it doesn't it's pretty clearly anti-Muslim.Cobalt_Wasps posted...

If religions come from the same source then how is it there are religions which clearly are polytheism (strongly polytheistic) and others that are monotheism (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam)?

Doe is right. I'd trust someone admitting the same thing vs. someone trying to pull back to "God always being right" or "The Torah/ Bible/ Quran is always right".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torah

The Jewish list of commandments is 613, a long damn list (excuse me G-d) that the average Jewish man or woman can end up breaking any day. An impossible list. But it's already criticism of Religion in general that gets people in trouble.
Drilling down to the microscopic level is like saying Who The Hell Wrote This, and if a God did exist he would label that person with more than two of these criteria:

What are the seven detestable sins according to the Bible?
There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers (Proverbs 6:16-19).

What? Did you click the link? Its a sub for leftist Christians. You said the left hates Christianity, but Christs actual message is very in line with communism and as a result there are plenty of Christian leftists.

I really don't give a shit what Christs message was, but pretty sure it didn't revolve around violently overthrowing people cause you covet their wealth and giving citizens no control of their life with the force of the govt. as a threat. I dearly hope god, if it exists, thinks an ideology that led to 100 if millions of death is a good thing.

Also, I am no fan of christianity, but the hypocrisy how the left criticizes Christianity cause they view it as a white western religion (which is hilarious) when Western countries with Christian backgrounds, are for the most part, are basically the only places that allow all these diverse lifestyles.

Why do you say communism led to 100s of millions of deaths?

Communism advocates for a stateless society.

America co-signed with those countries and more shitholes like them in an effort to curb women's reproductive rights. Glass houses and all that

Not so much that we co-signed anything but the U.N. Charter; they are members and so are we. Hungary seems to be a very right wing country (it's people are not; it's govt in fact IS) that does not walk to the beat of the European Union. Yet Hungary is a European country, and Poland and others.

Hope that we can sway these nations to accept liberal policies that allow the enjoyment of full civil rights.
But if we don't, we don't. We can only hope they will come around.
