Why is CERN considered evil and mistrustful for taking inspiration from the poos as opposed to "the glory of God's creation" or some such?
Just dont even worry about that kind of shit. That's the kind of things that stupid people say and invest in man, those kind of people have always existed and they're not going anywhere. Let them stay where they are if they want, be with the advancement, learn from it, if they don't that's on them.
Of course there is a lot of subtext and symbolism to it, I was answering the practical question of why the statue is there.
I should get around to reading the Vedas actually, do you know a good translation?
Any English one should be fine.
