So I noticed the "Misconceptions about Mormonism" thread and thought it would be a great public service to do the same. We always talk about misconceptions people have about Hinduism but rarely do we put them in the main stage and deal with them. So I wil begin
I hear this one a LOT, frankly I'm tired of correcting it lol.
"So you worship cows?" "Cows are your God" "So if Cows are God..." First I won't speak for all Hindus but I for one do not worship cows. Are cows God? No more than you anf I are which is a technical "yes" but not in a way that I worship them any more than I would worship you or a tree. They are SACRED but to me ALL life is sacred, cows are more like the symbol of life and the sacredness of all life.
