Why Hinduism?

[SalixIncendium]

I rarely am asked this question, because people almost never ask me what religion I am, and I'm not one to talk about my religion.

So in this thread, I will offer humorous responses to the question, because no one really ever asks me, and because I blatantly stole this idea from @Viker.

First and foremost: The gods come in much flashier colors.

Second: I'm not addicted to wheat gluten.

 

[Viker]

I would complain about that theft but I just posted something in another thread without expressed permission.

Besides, I like Kali.

Third: I don't have to answer questions about why I'm Hindu.

Besides, I like Kali.

Me too.

Because wearing Speedos isn't prohibited. (Although not explicitly condoned).

Just found a Hindu demon conjuring app.

I just hope I don't get messed up like when I messed with Japanese demon conjuring app.

At least for me, a full plate of prasadam gave me more to chew on than little white wafers did. Harrison George Harrison reportedly was of the same opinion, btw.

1. As someone who likes to dress and likes clothes, I can appreciate that Krishna has a diviiiiine fashion sense. He’s probably the best dressed god.
2. The flowing dhotis and colorful saris are faaaabulous.
3. So many Indian men are absolutely gorgeous!

When around other Hindus, I don't have to say anything at all, and they think I'm smart.

I can tell most non-Hindus all kinds of BS and they still believe me. "Yes, we do human sacrifice, are you volunteering?"

It's better than Hin-don't-ism.

I can steal ideas from the Hindu scriptures, the Vedas and the Puranas, and present them as my own.

I quote from the Yugetfuldalot Upanishad.

What is it like to be trampled by an elephant?

How long is your 60 second rule for dropped food?

Is the H silent or not? I can't seem to get a straight answer from anyone. Have you considered using a CH sound instead?

Are you a 19th century German intellectual?

Why Hinduism?

Why not? It's very egalitarian. And technically it wasn't practiced as a "religion" , certainly not like abrahamic religions.

Re-check the box and wait for up to 1 hour. The database is not updated immediately, but within an hour you should have access. (I think the check boxes are a hack.)
