why does the GOP have an animal that Hindu's worship as its mascot? |
|
why haven't they changed it to a lamb or some other animal from the bible if the GOP is the party of christian family values?

2. How Ganesh got an elephant's head |
|
Once upon a time, Lord Shiva's wife, Parvati, wanted to take a bath. Her husband was not at home, so she made a boy out of sandalwood soap to guard the door. Lord Shiva came home, and the boy woulnd't let him in.
There was a fight, and Lord Shiva cut off the guard's head. Parvati got mad and insisted that the guard be re-animated, so Lord Shiva found a sleeping white elephant, cut off its head, and put it on Ganesh. Parvati also insisted that Ganesh be made a god of the highest rank, and so today Ganesh has an elephant head.

It's not the poor creatures' fault that the repugs use them for a symbol. Free the elephants from the GOP!
