agree with you, most of people fail to understand culture and religion is two separate thing ,
in every society infusion of culture in religion or infusion of two religion strongly exist
for example : in Indonesian java Muslim worship fire and water (reason is Indonesia is kingdom of volcano) sultan of Jogjakarta officially perform ritual of worshiping(pure Hindu ritual) mount Merapi ,Difficult for them to ignore volcano mount Merapi.....
there is tons of example of infusion of Hinduism in Islam in Indian subcontinent or south Asia........reason is simple past is Hindu and present is Islam..........
but hardly you will see any example of infusion of Christianity in Islam or Hinduism or vise verse.........
but now this days you can see infusion of Christianity in Hinduism....after hare Krishna movement......most of christian who converted to Hinduism from Christian
but hardly you will see any example of infusion of Christianity in Islam or Hinduism or vise verse.........
ity............difficult for them to leave entire past,,,,,practically it is not possible for them
i think it is very natural,we should accept it ..ultimate goal is peas and happiness
The Original Santa Claus
lord Krishna as Santa Claus
(this the way they are showing there devotion,so i feel it has no meaning on reacting on this )
