Sharing the Love

I've been accused by some people of being anti-Christian. It's a typical accusation that is slung about any time you dare to criticize someone's precious belief as being patently silly. So, while I'm on a roll, let's mock Hinduism too.

A Hindu fanatic sentenced to die for killing Australian missionary Graham Staines and his two young sons hoped to "bury" the spread of Christianity, the judge said...

A newspaper report on Sunday quoting investigators said the extremists decided to kill Mr Staines after seeing Indians eat beef, which is forbidden by Hinduism.

The judge said Singh presented himself as a "saviour of cows".

It's a sad tragedy that religious fervor claimed the life of someone who was working for a greater good in India. It's even sadder that it was basically because of a hamburger.

Moo.
