By all means bring in the false idols...cue the violins, we're going down in flames, we'll need some Roman music and more cowbell, of course. Hindus have the Golden Bull they worship as a main deity, does that sound familiar?

You know, if you don't know anything about a topic, there are two options that are commendable:
1. Try to educate yourself about it.
2. Keep your mouth shut, to not embarass yourself.
What isn't a commendable option is making shit up.

We have long life expectancy these days, we still have a high standard of living, we have instant global communication at our fingertips, we are now exploring Mars via remote control. We now have more freedom for everyone to get married to whoever they want to. How exactly are we "going down in flames?"
Oh right, we don't have an ultraconservative Christian theocracy. That's a good thing, by the way.
To each religion, ALL the others worship "false idols". To each religion, the dogma and the suppositions of ALL the others sound naive and childish and weird. To each religion, they can see how laughably strange the practices of ALL the others are, but cannot look at their own with the same critical eye.

Well, obviously, if you don't have the right to hate and openly discriminate against the right people, it's not even worth getting up in the morning.

Or music, apparently. Violins, "Roman" music and more cowbell doesn't sound like a pleasing combination.
What does Leslie mean by "Roman" music, anyway? Paeans? Triumphal marches? Latin masses? My knowledge of ancient music is pretty hazy, but I imagine the Romans had more than one genre of music.

Yes. It reminds me of the people who worship some Jewish guy in sandals who claimed to be the son of God.
All the gods are false, faith itself is idolatry.
Not mine, but I can't remember who that quote came from, so I'm claiming it as my own......
Oh, it was Iain Banks's "The Crow Road".
B-flat Major:
(Violin intro swells to a crescendo.)
On the downbeat:
When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie,
that's BONGLE-BONGLE-BOK (cowbell).
Nope, not working for me.
Also, it's obvious the single working brain cell in your head knows nothing about the Hindu religion.
[o]Hindus have the Golden Bull they worship as a main deity,
No, they don't and you clearly know nothing about Hinduism.
I already mentioned that Christian News Network is 64% supported by Nambla but he reminded me that I forgot to mention other supporters and purveyors blow goats.
Sick, sick organization constantly going overboard trying to appear decent or normal, but they can't, being perverted freaks, so they always report unreal syphilis induced fantasies.

THEY WORSHIP BRAHMAN, WHICH IS ALL-THAT-IS and who is made up of a dual-trinity of Brahma/Saraswati, Vishnu/Lakshmi & Shiva/Shakti.....and they're most often depicted as humanoid. Shiva's mount, Nandi the Bull is not alone the Supreme Being! Hindus VENERATE cows, but cows are still just another critter (albeit a very important one).
@breakerslion
Is that "BONGLE-BONGLE-BOK" supposed to be the cowbell in action?
Still funny, though. I liked your post.
@Everybody
I think with the mention of Romans, Violins & Flames, Leslie The Loser is comparing us to "Nero Fiddled While Rome Burned (but With More Cowbell!)"
@Canadiest
Considering the actions of Ma & Pa Duggar, The FLDS cults, The Vatican pedo coverups and the whole "Marry A Little Girl" that's all the rage in places like Afghanistan, I'm not surprised.
I had to look at the context for this. Leslie is commenting on an article about Hindus asking for a room to pray and meditate at airports.
Leslie's responses to her are pretty unhinged.
Did I miss the part about one of the horsemen of the apocalypse being about prayer rooms in airports?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
