Krishna? Don't You Mean Christian?
So here it is, day one of NaBloPoMo and I realized that for at least four days this month I will be cruising I-40 to and from Las Vegas, Nevada. So I'm making no guarantees that I'm going to actually succeed at the one post for every day, but I'll try. I know everyone will be downtrodden if I don't make it, so I'll try my best.
So due to a long an unfortunate chain of events, I ended up having to take a make up test at my calculus professor's house. She's Indian and Hindu, so I didn't really know what to expect. I sort of guess that I was thinking that there were going to be elephants, monkeys, and an open-air bazaar right there in her living room or something.
As it turns out, her house was just a standard home. Only there were pictures of Hindu deities on the walls, which is fine, but it's just weird to me when people don't have pictures of Jesus up in their houses. It's even a little strange to me when people have crosses in their homes, because Mormons don't use the image of the cross.
I guess I just haven't experienced anything, because even though people are Hindu or Muslim or Jain or Buddhist or Jewish or what have you, I think that I sort of subconsciously thought that they just have these other gods for pretend but they have Jesus in their real religions. I'm not saying that they're wrong or bad, I'm mostly saying that I am very, very sheltered. And I know nothing about anything.
I want to travel.
