Re: Fact sheet: Basic Info on the Hindu Religion

Hindus like to parade around naked after rolling in flour. Also they never cut their hair.

Actually Pastor Zeke what looks like flour is probably cow dung. These Hindoos are likely to be Sadhus, who perversely believe that covering themselves in filth, growing dreadlocks and smoking large amounts of reefer will make them 'holy'. In Jamaica the Negroes had a similar idea, which they call 'Rastafartism' - the name of which is derived from the Ethiopian term for 'smelly-man'.

I read that they consider cows sacred, and won't eat them. Instead, it is required that they keep a cow at each mosque for weekly sex rituals.

Very true Rev. Rodimer. A common joke in India: "My wife is a cow, but I worship her".

Re: Fact sheet: Basic Info on the Hindu Religion

Wow. Fascinating stuff. And to think that all this time I'd thought that Hindus were just a kind of tasty curry made with lamb. Is there any direct connection between the curries and the cult? Do they pray to them or something?

Sounds like an offshoot of Flying Spaghetti Monsterism.

At first I typed something about curry, which I will not repeat, but Billy Bob struck me on the medula oblongota and told me that curry is for dothead demon worshipers. I did not know that. I will be mindful of this fact in the future. I thank Billy Bob for taking such care that I do not say anything stupid. If only every woman could have a husband as passionate as mine.

Billy Bob has instructed me to include some scripture with my post. I have decided to include the story of Lazarus, from memory:


Luke 16:19-26 (King James Version) 19There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

Re: Fact sheet: Basic Info on the Hindu Religion

- To my knowledge in Tibetan Hinduism there are actually four orders of Monk: Parsley who wear white hats, Sage who wear blue hats, Rosicrucian who wear red hats and Time who wear yellow hats. The most powerful group are the Monks of Time, which are also known as the 'History Monks'.

- The worship of the demon Pan is known in the West as 'pantheism'.

- A recent sect of Hinduism are known as 'Harry Krishnas', or to call them by their proper name: 'The Church of Harry Krishna and the Latter Day Sufis'.

- Gautama Gandhi's religious title was 'Madhatman' which in Pali means 'Great Hat Wearer'.

Re: Fact sheet: Basic Info on the Hindu Religion

Thanks much, HB. After reading your excellent lesson, I am embarrassed to admit how badly I got gypped for 23 years studying Hinduism at the University of Delhi (bad football team too...). Those stinking swamis got it COMPLETELY wrong !

Re: Fact sheet: Basic Info on the Hindu Religion

Another outstanding post Brother Heathen Basher - I feel the congregation at Landover more fully appreciates and celebrates our faith in Jesus after being exposed to the silly beliefs of these gutter religions.

I might add that the Hindaloos are an especially filthy lot and are prone to live in squalor due to their reluctance to kill anything, like cockroaches, due to their fear of decimating one of their reincarnated brethren. The one thing we share with them is their delight in killing mooselimbs (and blowing up their Mosques), but then they do it only in retaliation when the mooselimbs blow up one of their temples. Apparently the Hindaloos believe that they would never be reincarnated as a mooselimb.
