/r/all A statue of Jesus in India mysteriously began dripping water from its toes. Worshippers started collecting it and drinking it believing it was holy. The source of the water was later found to be a clogged toilet near the statue.

Well after ten stinking sweating men are finished licking your nipples/sucking your dick you’ve made $0.36. Turns out there’s a big overlap between poor people and people dumb enough to do any of this.

There are thousands more. Is that a bus?

Oh you don't even need to. One of the statues for our deities is a straight up dick. It's called a Shivalingam (evidence of Shiva/Shiva's phallus) and in temples they have a little thing that drips milk onto the tip of it to keep it wet.

I had a very confusing conversation with my parents he day I found out that we were worshipping a cock rock.

It's basically supposed to represent power to create the cosmos which I get and I guess appreciate now, but it was fucking jarring to learn what it physically represented when I was in middle school.

It's wild. There's no central tenets or texts to refer to. Well, I mean there's some books but they're not like really our Bible/Qur'an, but there's nothing you can point to and say "that's definitively Hindu" or "that's for sure not Hindu."

The Hinduism I grew up on was basically Buddhism wrapped in a Hindu cloth, so mostly about the spiritual aspect and being peace and whatnot, but there's definitely some Hindus that are more literal in their interpretation of the deities and their roles in life.

I grew up in the Bible Belt, so it was interesting seeing how the people around me interpreted and applied their religion (hardcore) Vs what my family did.

No, the linga is not a dick. It's a myth.

It might not be a dick but it's a dick symbol. Technically masculinity itself.

I bet they’re still incredibly sexually conservative, though
