Indians have some weird-ass beliefs. But at least they love Donald J. Trump.
Vance’s wife, Usha, is a practicing Hinu
I pray he doesn’t give any glory, even jokingly, to a pagan god.
From which comes the word “juggernaut”.

One of their festivals, which features said large chariots.
Very picturesque.
Nov 5th will be the “Trump Juggernaut” !
“Nov 5th will be the “Trump Juggernaut” !”
He’d better win, otherwise Dems will say “Trump juggernaught”.
Per this story “Jagannath” should make it a Juggernaut.
Yep, exactly, they consume this stuff methodologically as part of their subsued animism, which along the way they elevated to human or supra-human deities, but never had the wisdom to discard the utter hopelessness of anything other than accepting Christ, because that would mean giving up the caste system. Meanwhile they brag that Christ came to them; if so, it makes their failure even more piquant. Here we have to accept their heresy as an offset against the truly anti-Christian godless confucianism from their neighbor to the northeast.
It's unsustainable on a global scale.
Wonderful story!
Which of the 330+ million Hindu gods is that one?
Yeah, Hindus have no end to their gods:
A. They aren’t heretics, they are pagans.
B. This is hardly unsustainable. They’ve been this way for thousands of years.
>> I pray he doesn’t give any glory, even jokingly, to a pagan god.
You got that right!
But it’s clear that ISKCON (Krishna consciousness, my azz) USURPED the praise and gratitude President Trump rightly gave our One True GOD.
Thanks for weighing in, spaniard.
They ARE heretics. There is exactly one true GOD. ALL other so-called “gods” are merely different masks for the fallen angel satan.
Not sure how you intepreted "animism" any other way. Should I break out the bold and underlined crayons?
"Yep, exactly, they consume this stuff methodologically as part of their subsued animism"
But you do you. Because no one else would want to...
"B. This is hardly unsustainable. They’ve been this way for thousands of years."
It is when you have to play a state that has a "lower g" godhead belief structure that includes recrimination for genocide, versus a godless anti-theist state that has zero recrimination for genocide, in fact promotes genocide, and indulges and exports that very thing in the present-day.
There is no greater exposition of the Realpolitick lesser-of-two-evils in every way than the India-China conflict -- far less sustainable than India-Pakistan.
The only true ongoing conflict between two nuclear-capable nations with the capability of instantly metastisizing into a nuclear exchange, is the Line of Actual Control.
“Trump juggernaught”, that is.
The Catholic religion is very clear about categories.
Pagans are pagans, and heretics are heretics. And who should have a better cultural background on this matter than the Spanish?
A heretic, unlike a pagan, brings novel, extraneous, or otherwise inappropriate elements into the Christian religion. Historically heretics have been considered much worse than pagans. We had quite thorough instruction on heresy in our religion classes. Heretics bear a special moral defect BECAUSE they are heretics.
Pagans, in comparison, are simply unconverted souls. Its not their fault that they remain uncontacted, improperly contacted, or unconvinced. My aunt the missionary nun can explain it much better, but there you are.
Animism is simply one category of pagan religions. Many forms of paganism probably did derive from animism, among them Japanese Shinto and various elements of Hinduism, as well as the classical Greco-Roman religion.
Others come from a different “revelation”, a theological-philosophical system with a definable origin. Buddhists and Parsis/Zoroastrians are in this category, and arguably some elements of Hinduism, which is a very varied, complex mess.

Not here in Northern Virginia. They’re all failed I Congress Party socialists, here.

Not in NOVA.... not ANYWHERE.
Of all of the Asian-American subgroups, Indians are the most liberal/Democrat and it is definitely reflected in how they vote. In 2020, only 16% of Indians identified as Republican and that subgroup voted for Biden over Trump by nearly 40 points.
