Try depicting Ganesh with its elephantile trunk as a god better fit for worship in a sanitarium and see what happens? Or just ask the sikhs about the the massacre at their golden temple by hindu mobs. Hinduism in all its forms is myth that has survived the long bygone era of paganism only because of the vast swath of illiterate Indian masses. Its belief, practice, rituals and customs can only charitably be described as barbaric and unfit for accommodation in western societies whose civilization was founded by Catholicism.
Yada... yada.
You keep mixing up the Gita for nonsense. Why don’t you maintain a consistent stance?
Only after the Enlightenment movement and the Protestant reforms tamed the Catholic cult did the West really begin to progress. Until then, Catholics were jabbing spears, barbs, stretching, boiling and burning others at the stake, like uncivilised barbarians.
The Deist god is NOT the Catholic god. Please try to be a bit more intellectually honest. You are seeking an umbrella so that you can hide under the fruits of success and progress of the nation the Deists founded. Without them, you’d have to seek idealogical refuge in Third World hell-holes like Brazil and Mexico, both Catholic.
It’s funny you mention the Sikh riots, engineered by the thugs on the payroll of the Congress party.
Ask the Sikhs what the role of the RSS was, during the riots, and then report back to me.
It’s not coicidental that Sikhs support this Hindu fundamentalist group, to this day.
As for the Christian North-East terrorists, the less said, the better. So too about garbage like The Lord’s Resistance Army.
This is just rank slander. Icons and images stand for spiritual principles - and as a Catholic, you are majorly throwing stones from a glass house. You want to talk about taking icon worship at face value in a sanitarium? How about worshipping a bloody, tortured, murdered guy up on a cross, and then partaking in the ritualistic eating of his flesh and drinking of his blood? How does that sound, taken at face value, without any spiritual interpretations or teachings to explain it's deeper meanings? You are way, way out of line, and you're not doing Catholicism any good with your ignorant rantings about a religion of which you are utterly ignorant and against which you are clearly biased and abjectly unfair, insulting and misleading.
