I am hindu but I sometimes wonder if our gods really did set a good example or not...i wonder why somethings are accepted and worshiped as they are:
1. krishna is always worshiped with radha who is just his gf whom he flirted with in childhood! how must his TWO official wives feel?
2. ram abandoned his PREGNANT wife because of his family and other people. Isnt a wife much more important esp when she is pregnant with twins than other people (as if he listened to everything they said).
Furthermore he never came to even meet her or to ask her if she is even alive...but came back when he saw his two sons to get thm back! what about his citizens and family now? how selfsih?
3. pandavas shared a common wife plus they each had one of their own. (hinduism never allowed polygamy)
4. shiva cut the head of his own son (for those who argue he didnt know he was his son..even then getting so angry and doing such a deed isnt very nice (whatever)
5. ganesha had two wives (riddhi and siddhi)
6. vishnu only laid on his couch with his wife all day long! seeing apsaras dancing all day long.
these are what I read in mythological books and saw in movies. I dont really have any complaints about hindu goddesses...but I am starting to feel strongly against idol worship of such Gods!
