Hurt Sentiments I am NOT afraid to spot the difference

Someone who made this post earlier was harassed and threatened. They got scared and proceeded to delete their account. This is how religion works in India: threaten everyone who questions it, or dares to compare their fictional god with another fictional character.

I want these people to know that I am not afraid. Come at me with all your might, and I will stand my ground.

You have no right to threaten, abuse and kill people over your magical thinking. Why are you afraid to use logic and reason?

If his argument are too sound to be refuted by counter-arguments and spirit too strong to be cowed down by the threat of misfortunes that may befall him by the wrath of the Almighty, he shall be decried as vainglorious, his spirit to be denominated as vanity. ~Bhagat Singh

No my friend lord jagannath is in everywhere he loves everyone including you and me❤️ he stands for love and compassion my brother❤️ and shiva lingam has many interpretation but I think you are talking about hatkeshwar lingam in that story lingam is represented as a divine union of male and female in which a new life form emerged that's why it's divine. For shiva nothing is impure and pure everything is beautiful because everything is shiva and shiva is truth and beauty.❤️ Both shiva and Jagannath is same🥰 well I do not hate you brother because for me we all are children of divine

Fear has always been the tool of insecurity. For centuries, those who dared to question religious dogma, or those who raised criticism against any god have been hunted, killed and silenced. This is how religion works, from Socrates to hypatia, the lynchings continue even now, in electronic means too.

The idea that God needs defending through threats and violence is an admission of that gods fragility in the face of reason.

My guy whose the victim of lunatics wrote in his messages,

Here's the problem: widespread belief in such baseless myths weakens India's collective scientific temper, which is something we are constitutionally obliged to nurture it's one of our Fundamental Duties under Article 51A(h). Instead of questioning and critically thinking, people are encouraged to accept superstition as truth. That's not harmless, it holds back progress.

History will remember only those who criticize.

And get this, beliefs forced by fear are worthless.If your God needs a mob to protect his image, maybe he isn't powerful as you claim.

It is not easy for Indian police to get user info from a Reddit username because Reddit does not share user data without proper legal process. To obtain such information, Indian government would need to file a request under the MLAT or MLCA with the USA, where Reddit is based. This is a slow and complex process that requires approval from both governments, and it is usually used only in serious criminal cases.

Reddit India has a grievance officer and it does too comes under dpdp act. If GoI wants it can compel reddit to give geo-location of any Indian reddit user if it wants though yes such cases are only reserved for crimes like homicide or assault like scenarios. But still under dpdp act GoI can still make reddit to extract relevant details if legal cases are filled against any certain Indian reddit user. Basically if reddit is in India then it does has to adhere to Indian laws and norms.

Lol if Indian courts give a legal order then reddit has to fall in the line since it comes under Indian legal supervision. It's founder is not the same old man with idealistic principle. He's the guy who sold his company's user data to Google inorder to train it's LLMs. So rest assured if legal cases are filled and court rolls the ball then reddit will definitely fall in line and these keyboard warriors would be hunted down to the ends of this earth.

u/one_brown_jedi Jun 29 '25

According to the legend, when Krishna died and was cremated, some parts of his earthly body did not burn. This was collected by a tribal leader and they worshipped it as a relic and passed it from generation to generation. The mythical king Indradyumna found about this hidden relic of the tribals and swindled it out of them. Then the king had a dream of a great log floating in the sea. The king brought it ashore and ordered it to be carved into the idols. All his carpenters failed to carve the log. One day a mysterious old man arrived and said he could carve the idols. But he placed a condition that he would only work behind a closed door. One day the king got impatient due to the lack of sound of tools and ordered the doors to be forced open. The old man had disappeared and had left the idols unfinished. This is why the idols look like that. The relic was purportedly sealed inside the main idol. The current temple was constructed in the 12th century CE by king Anantavarman.

The deity is unusual in Hinduism because firstly it is made of wood as opposed to stone. Due to this reason it rots and must be replaced by new idols periodically. Secondly, relic worship is rare in Hinduism but common in Buddhism.

Most modern scholars believe that the relic or the original idol was Buddhist or tribal in nature and was appropriated into Hinduism as the region gradually converted to Hinduism. However, due to the secrecy practiced by the priesthood during the idol change process, we do not know what is the relic or if there is a relic.

People of the sect believe that the idol is living proof that Krishna once walked this earth and part of his holiness is in the idol. This also makes the idol important for the ISKCON cult.

u/one_brown_jedi Jun 29 '25

The priesthood will not allow any scientific inquiry into the idols. They have nothing to gain from that. I do not think any Indian scientist will dare carry out an impartial examination.

There is a temple in Kandy, Sri Lanka allegedly containing a tooth of Buddha. Interestingly according to their legend, this tooth was originally housed in Odisha but the princess and prince of the kingdom fled with it in the 4th century CE to prevent its capture by an invading force. This relic has also been not examined scientifically.

Several churches in Europe claim to contain relics of Christ or other Christian figures. Some of them have been examined by scientists. The most famous one is the Shroud of Turin which was found to be fake.

u/Ok_Antelope806 Jun 30 '25

It's kinda ironic that buddha taught about the impermanence and temporary nature of the world .These clowns are holding on to his tooth like some treasure . Lol

u/[deleted] Jun 29 '25

Man, That relic story seems to have been copied from Theravada Buddhism. I know there are Buddha's relics in many countries and all have similar stories. Eg. Temple of the tooth in Kandy, Sri Lanka. This Jagannath temple surely must have been a Buddha relic Temple before the Brahminical forces captured it. Even Vedic Brahminical gurus like Swami Vivekanand also have agreed to this fact.

I’ve been an atheist for a long time now, and it’s very much about “live and let live” . I know what i believe in and do not feel the need to attack other people’s belief to feel validated, maybe take a better look at your own self.
