I have to unrelated points, so I apologize for the disjointed post.
First, I have the impression that sacredness is different in India (and many other places). When you go to visit, lots of stuff is sacred, and I had the impression that thereās more of a tendency to see God everywhere. So itās not like theyāre substituting a cow for Jesus, and worshiping the cow in the same way Christians worship Christ.
Second, itās kind of ironic, because our political and social situation with Christianity here in the US is playing out in a slightly varied form over in India. There are conservative politicians who are using religion to determine policy, other people like most of us, who are exasperated by it or even feel that itās superstitious (analogous to the people here who talk about zombies, etc.), and chauvinists who say that people who arenāt Hindus are cut off from the real truth.
In both countries, I think the reasonable open minded people outnumber the yahoos, though.

My degree was in Civil Engineering but when I got out of school, there was no / little work in the field (VERY cyclical). I switched to carpentry, then project management, etc. Re-inventing is the way to survive.
In this case, depending on the time frames, Iām tempted to say: failed at farming, then failed at real estate appraisal, then made some cash and connections in the construction biz.

First amendment be damnedā¦unless it is Christiansā¦And to be frank most countries have cast systems of sorts. India has just had a more prominent societal one for a while. Typically there it is by income and prestige. And to be frank most countries are like that. Just not usually to that level.
Iād pay good cash money to see Chuck Todd pointedly ask Booby Jindal what he thought of this mockery of his parentsā religion and the work ethic of South Asian immigrants to the U.S.

They worship cows, you worship a Zombie Jew who disappeared into the sky and is simultaneously his own Father, Himself, and His Ghost and you symbolically cannibalize him by eating his flesh and drinking his blood to commemorate his birth on a date you appropriated from the Pagans (The Winter Solstice) and you celebrate his death/zombification on the lunar cycle date of a Pagan Fertility Rite (Spring Equinox.)

Speaking on behalf of as many Jews as Bibi did, please stop invoking Judeo-Christian heritage for justifying your ignorance and stupidity. We know youāre coming after us as soon as you get done with everyone else.

They ritually drink the blood and eat the body of their savior. What is more weird.

Not so much symbolically. A priest, according to Catholics, by saying some stuff, channels whatever magical power it takes to turn the bread and wine into the actual flesh and blood of Jesus, he of Christ fame. They call it ātransubstantiationā.
Cannibalism, pure and simple.

I donāt blame them for skipping. Of course, I would have skipped just about any similar invocation conducted by any Christian or Jewish holy man.
Some take them as lovers.
