@SuperLutheran ASHERA POLES TOO
THIS IS AN OLD OLD MEGALITHS IN PLACES OF WORSHIP THING, AND I GUESS IT STUCK AROUND FOR THE HINDUS SINCE PALEOLITHIC TIMES
@SuperLutheran WELL ITS ALSO WHERE BABBY COMES FROM, WHICH IS A SOURCE OF MUCH ANXIETY
WHEN YOU DIE, WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO ALL YOUR STUFF IF YOUR SON DOESN'T GET IT
"WHAT WILT THOU GIVE ME SEEING THAT I GO CHILDLESS AND MY HEIR IS ELIEZER OF DAMASCUS"
@nugger I honestly don't feel any need to afford them the benefit of the doubt like that. Fertility is one thing, but obsession over it to the point of religious devotion is peepee-feel-good nonsense.
@SuperLutheran WELL RELIGIOUS DEVOTION IS NOT A QUESTION OF FEELINGS, ITS PRAGMATIC
NOBODY SANG ZEUS HE LOVES ME THIS I KNOW FOR PLATOS TIMMAEUS TELLS ME SO
YOU DON'T WANT TO OBSESS OVER ZEUS, HES GONNA PAY YOU A VISIT IN ANIMAL FORM OR SOMETHING
YOU JUST WANT TO MAKE ZEUS OR THOR OR SHIVA OR WHATEVER TO SEND THE THUNDERBOLT AND MAKE RAIN
THE WHOLE SHIVA VISHNU KRISHNA ARE HYPOSTASES OF ONE GODHEAD AND THERES A CYCLE OF CREATION AND DESTRUCTION AND THERES REINCARNATION AND SOMETIMES YOU GET REBORN AS A CRAB -- THATS LATER STUFF
THATS PHILOSOPHY STAPLED ON
THE ORIGINS OF HINDUISM ARE CLEAR OUT IN THE SYMBOL YOU POSTED
"I NEED TO BRIBE/CAJOLE/TRICK THE FERTILITY GOD INTO A GOOD HARVEST AND LOTS OF CHILDREN FOR MY CLAN. AND IM GONNA MAKE A GIANT DICK OUT OF STONE TO HONOR HIM WITH MY ADMISSION OF HOW FERTILE HE IS"
@SuperLutheran THIS LINGAM THING IS LIKE AN UNFLATTERING CHILDHOOD PHOTO STILL FRAMED ON THE WALL OF A HOUSE
OR LIKE AN OLD CRINGE FACEBOOK POST OF A NOW FAMOUS CELEBRITY
@yockeypuck@Umlaut@SuperLutheran IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE RACIST YOU NEED TO DO IT WELL
IN THE TWENTY FIRST CENTURY IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO CALL SOMEONE A NIGGER
YOU MUST AIM FOR THE GAPS IN THE ARMOR
OT IS NOT ENOUGH TO CALL AN INDIAN A HAJI, YOU MUST CALL HIM A DALIT, YOU MUST IMPLY YOU KNOW WHAT REGION OF INDIA HE IS FROM
LIKEWISE APOLOGETICS NOW REQUIRE COMPARATIVE RELIGIOUS STUDIES
A SIMPLE EXTERNAL CRITIQUE IS EASILY DISMISSED AS MERE CULTURAL CHAUVINISM
YOU MUST SHOW KNOWLEDGE OF THE INTERNAL WORKINGS, FOR THE DENIAL OF THEM TO HAVE ANY EFFECT
YOU MUST SAY "IF THE COWS ARE SACRED, WHY DOES INDRA DEMAND CATTLE SACRIFICES? WHO IS INDRA AND WHO IS DIAUS PITR IN THE VEDAS?"
AND FROM THERE YOU CAN ROLL ON TO PAUL'S SERMON AT THE AREOPAGUS AND OT CRITIQUES OF IDOLATRY BECAUSE DIAUS PITR IS THEOS PATER
