Enforce religion? I'm a Lutheran and I have never been enforced on my religion ever. I was encouraged to it and in the end it's my choice whether I want to or not like any other religions. One of those monotheist religions have so many different branches that it's really unfair to generalize. I agree many denominations may me more militant than others but some of us who are associated with Christianity do not believe in the institution that is religion as well. Please be more aware.

@bnbalenda ok let me tell u something, if u belive in god then u should come to realise if there was a true devine revelation from god then this message of god should reach everyone, thus as a muslim its my duty to inform others about the true religion of god and clear misconceptions, that does not mean that we are forcing u, unlike other religions we try to make awareness to all mankindregarding what our creator wants from us as a muslim i invite u to islam and learn the positive aspects ofit .

This video is posted with a very disturbing title, for one i am a hindu follower, and this is definately not ganesh in an incarnation, 2 for all the people who want to critisize hindus for their love and affection towards gods, go ahead it wont make any difference, and lastly india is not a 3rd world country no more, it may have extreme poverty but i assure you it would take over U.K and other measly countries any day!

They believe that this elephant is Ganesh who is the son of Shiva. I hope I am not wrong. That's what I have learned. I'm not a believer, but what I like about Hinduism is that they don't enforce their religion upon others, like the 3 monotheist religions.

I would imagine that Indian people know the difference between between gold and elephant shit - it's not a backward country

[ChristianLove2008]

imagine what happens when that blessed animal leaves some droppings on the floor, those would be like Gold to the people in India !!!

They're temple elephants, believed to be the living reincarnations of Lord Ganesh. They probably have better lives than a lot of the poor people in India.

Although I do agree with the abuse of animals used solely for the money (monkeys, bears, etc).

[tineketbsfan]

i totally agree, just as the bears in tunesie, or other countries, ... its all abuse in my eyes, they deserve a good enviroment

[maliciouskami]

what a miserable life that poor animal lives...that elephant belongs in the wild with her family...not on hard concrete day after day making money for humans
