i suppose hindus would think that eating a communion wafer & drinking wine is strange buthere is what i think is strange about hinduism.
* They worship hundreds of gods & tho they believe they are all part of the great Brahman they worship all these gods separately.
* cows are sacred & can walk down the street & eat right out of the vegetable market & no one stops them.
* Hindus worship animals as gods - like cows, monkeys snakes etc.
* Their caste system was only outlawed in 1950 but the caste system is still a big influence in every day Indian life because it is based on the Hindu sacred writings 'Code of Manu'.
* Hindu priests wash & dress the stone idols of their gods every day & bring them food to eat.
