Hindu's Hate me on Tumblr

So on my personal tumblr blog, I made a post about 3 months ago that said "the Hindu Religion is Bullshit, but man are their gods Trippy" and I still to this day get anonymous messages sent to me from people that I assume are Hindu saying that I'm a piece of shit, and that they want to kill me, ect...  At first I was surprised that this was coming from the hindu's because typically this is the type of thing that I would expect Muslims to do.  So my question to you all is have you ever been harassed by Hindu's for being an atheist/insulting the Hindu religion?

I can honestly say I don't think I have ever said one thing, one way or another, controversial about the Hindu religion :P.

I will make a slight change to that and mention this; when Smite portrayed Kali, there was a huge uproar from Hindus that she was too nude, too sexualized.

The thing is... in the ancient pictures of her, she is fully nude except for human skulls and arms covering her privates... far less "clothing" than the Smite version had. Hindu's are not as... rational... as we would like to make them out to be. They are just as nutty as the rest of us.







But yes, it is the smite one that is too nude :P.

Believing in multiple gods is even dumber than believing in one God to me. Solitary

Hinduïsm, budhism, other oriëntal religions, ... often seem like the peaceful variants and more 'open' variants to us because we don't deal with them on a near-daily basis. We don't hear about the shit the radicalized portion of their faiths get into or try to do because we're so preoccupied with the religious bullcrap happening closer to home. The East has had more than it's own fair share fundies holding them back though.

Every religion makes absurd claims and creates outlandish myths, which under ordinary circumstances, no one in their right mind would believe.  If the fantasy gains traction, it becomes a sacred thing.  People defend their sacred outlandish myths with a zeal that no one would protect a known fact.  It always strikes me as odd that the less defensible a thing is, the more people will go to greater lengths to defend it.

My personal 2 cents is that the people who wrote the Mahabharata- (Bhagavad Gida, Rig Veda, etc.) had to be high on something. There definitely is some trippy shit in there. My personal fave are Vimanas

Exactly! and that is one of the rebuttles that I made when replying to the first anon that sent me hateful messages, they replied 1 day later saying that I know nothing about Hinduism, after that I have ignored them because apparently they dont even know their own religion.

If Smite used this and translated it exactly to 3D CGI, it would be AMAZING

Don't worry, no Hindu is going to go to that length as to kill you. They are world-wise, and would not like to suffer in jail for killing some one like you. However, you do not understand Hinduism. Why did you say it is bullshit? You have a serious behavioral problem. Civil people do not do such a thing.

Only that the bulge is a bit too pronounced and the high-lighted. :D

Myths are but stories like Aesop's fables. There are variants of Hinduism with no bullshit and that go with science.

That was to make the stories more interesting like the 900 odd years of Adam. Sure, Hindus liked to use Soma (probably Ephedra) and Marijuana, as also liquor (Madya - I think from Mada - Madness, Pride).

That is true. There are monotheistic Hindus, Monist Hindus, and even Atheist Hindus (I am one). The truth is that you do not know about Hinduism.
