Bacon vs. Pig\'s feet
 

I don't understand why Sree couldn't touch the pig's foot yet he handled raw bacon when making sandwiches. In fact, he made a sandwich for himself as well. If he was grossed out about the foot, that's one thing, but he distinctively said "No, I'm not allowed to touch." Does he just use religion when he wants to or does he not know what bacon is made of?

Ooohhhhh. Well observed. Maybe he just thought that making the bacon sandwiches was a nice gesture, but being prodded with a trotter was a bit more serious.

He must know what bacon is.

Whether he uses religion or not, I think this could become a heated topic....

I know some Jewish people that eat bacon when they're drunk....

How can you resist the smell (that occurs when you cook it Sree)

I think he uses religion when it's convenient for him. We constantly see him say he's not the type of person to do this or that and so on, but he continuously contradicts himself to no end.

Sree is totally deluded and will be baffled as to why some people don't like him when he leaves
Although you can bet on him trying for the sympathy vote when he does leave!:sleep:

Yep, right up until he molests Davina.

LOL:laugh:

LOL

I also just realised that bacon isn't against Sree's religion. He's just an idiot always looking for attention.

Is he a Hindu?

I believe so. Apparently they can't eat beef but there's no restriction on pork.

bacon feet and pigs feet are the same :elephant:

He didn't say it was for religious reasons but it was clear thats what he meant
I hate people who play the religious card just when it suits them

I just find Sree so annoying, I thought It was just Muslims that can't eat Pork.

Sree is a Hindu, Hindus are vegetarian.

sree is a hindu. not devout but when it suits him. if he was devout like he likes to think he is. he would not be drinking or eating meat or groping women. it was funny when noirin thought that hindu was a god and not the name for the actual religion. ahh ignorance is bliss lol

Sophie claimed she was Christian, but she has had out of marriage sex. Yet no-one makes a post about this.

The point wasn't to start a religious argument or anything. I just started the thread to point out another example of Sree being a hypocrite. Btw, Sophie did say that she THINKS she's a Christian whereas Sree obviously practises Hinduism by praying. Regardless, its not the point really.

I hope no one was offended.

the only meat sree cant eat is cow. the reason he freaked out was not becaulse it was a pig, its coz it was a pigs foot.

Feet in Hinduism


As we mentioned, feet hold a powerful symbolism with Hindu culture. You take off your shoes when you enter a temple. When sitting you never point your feet towards people, especially seniors, and you never spread your feet before an altar or towards fellow worshippers. We can say the feet of people are considered low. In fact one of the greatest insults you can make is to throw shoes at someone. And yet the feet of God and seniors are special. God’s feet and even a guru’s feet are often called “lotus feet” and in some temples even a small set of shoes belonging to the Deity (shathari) is touched to the head of worshippers. We even drink the feet bathing water of God as a prasada and sprinkle the bathing water of a guru’s feet on our heads.

The basis for feet symbolism goes back to the Vedic conception of the universe as the body of God. Just like a body has high and low parts so this universe has high and low, pure and impure places. Up is high, down is low. Feet touch the ground, which is low, and so when you enter a temple you leave your low part at the door. We take off our impure part, our feet, symbolized by leaving our shoes at the door as we enter sacred space. You might say we leave our materialistic side at the door when we enter spiritual space.

Why do we not touch papers, books and people with the feet?

Along with this question one might also add ask: Why do we not blow out a flame with our breath? The answer to both these questions has to do with one of the most fundamental features of Hinduism, namely personification. Hinduism personifies virtually every aspect of life. The wind is not just air blowing from high pressure to low pressure. It is a God, Vayudeva. The sun is not just a great nuclear reaction in space. It is the sun God, Suryadeva. Similarly, the rain is a God, the moon is a God, all the planets are Gods and every other aspect of reality is subject to personification. Therefore, all things of learning: papers, books, musical instruments, pens, typewriters and even computers can be seen as an aspects of the Goddess of learning, Sarasvati. And we since already know the symbolism of feet in Hindu culture, it is obvious why we do not touch our feet to these items. Similarly, we do not blow a flame with our breath because it would be impolite. The flame is Agni, the fire God, and to blow in his face is impolite! To the Western mind this may seem difficult to understand, but there is great power in personification. Personification gives one the ability to communicate with the God and therefore perhaps control or at least get favors from the Deity. Personification is the basis of puja.

fair enough.

Thanks for clearing this up Superpoon, I had no idea. I guess I need to go back to school :blush2:
