Can- Can They Do This? · 12:01am Aug 14th, 2015
Just recently something very... Interesting happened. So in New York they had a slideshow type thing play on the Empire State Building. The slideshow showed pictures of endangered animals. OK, I'm fine with that. Yes, people should be more aware of this serious problem, but then they show this on the iconic building.
... What? WHAT?
For those who don't know, that is Kali. The Hindu goddess of Time, Power, Change, and Death... They show the Goddess of Death who is considered to be the Hindu equivalent to Satan at the end of an animal slideshow. They believe that Mother Earth needs an Avatar like Kali to inspire the humans to help the endangered animals.
First off, Mother Earth is Daddy God so let's get that set straight.
(Don't sue if offended)
Second, if they wanted to depict a God to inspire the humans to help, why not Jesus? Or another life God. Not the Goddess of Death and Power! Maybe the change part influenced them to put her up... I don't know, all I know is this,
back in the 60's, they would shine the Cross on the Empire State, nowadays, that's considered offensive. Now it's OK to shine Kali on the building. Reminds me too much of this Joker meme.
Shine Kali; the Goddess of Death, Power, Time, and Change, on the Empire State, and nobody bats an eye.
Shine a cross on the Empire State and everybody loses their minds!
first,
.
second, it's me or that's an brazillian meme?
I wouldn't go as far as to say that she is the Hindu equivalent of Satan. Kali is the God of death and change, but she is definitely not an 'evil' god.
Also, in the 60's, religion probably didn't expand as far as it does now. You were either Christian, Atheist, or just 'religious'.
Also, why should it be considered offensive for any kind of religious symbol to be shown in public, be it a cross or a deity? If it's used incorrectly, then it can't be helped. You can't expect someone to know everything about any religion. And I'm talking about every religion, not just Hinduism and Christianity.
