Stunning actress natalie Portman has come under fire after appearing in a music video as a Hindu. The Hollywood actress has been asked to apologies for taking part in a video which mocks Hindu concepts and symbols.
Rabbi Jonathan B. Freirich, prominent Jewish leader in Nevada and California, said in a statement that "...this video mocks a venerable religion..." adding, "at this time of the Jewish High Holy days, when soul-searching and making of amends are recommended, Ms. Portman has the perfect opportunity to show her true feelings of inclusion and open-mindedness in apologizing for her participation in this video."
Indo-American statesman Rajan Zed, who is the president of Universal Society of Hinduism, has said that no faith, larger or smaller, should be ridiculed at. Natalie Portman of Star Wars, plays Princess Carmensita Saplingita in this music video created by Devendra Banhart, a Venezuelan-American musician and folk rock singer-songwriter.
Religion is an idiotic concept as it is but Hinduism is even more ridiculous than Xianity. Statues that give milk? A human body with a transplanted elephant head? People who believe that they are descended from gods? The Caste System? Suttee? "Holy" rivers where upstream people empty their honey-buckets and dispose of corpses? "Sacred" animals living amongst starving people?
Nothing that Natalie Portman could do would be more stupid than Hinduism itself.
"Hinduism is even more ridiculous than Xianity."
That's a pretty stupid thing to say, seeing how all religions are equally ridiculous.
Nothing is more stupid than Urbanspaceman himself.

Ahem...the things I listed are not true?
