It used to be death until 1975.250 million cows wander the streets and villages of India freely.India has old-age homes for cows, where they are housed, fed, and cared for on the government dole. The hindus believe that inside each cow live 330 million Gods
and Goddesses. They say that if you kill a cow, you will be punished after death by falling down 86 transmigrations, and
start at the bottom again as the devil.
Actually, the devil in our mythology has hoofs and horns because
of the ancient hindis(Aryan Nomads). All gods to them were cows,
and the devil was an evil cow. Later, Europeans made the devil more human, but even now we draw him with cloven hoofs and horns. And the good Gods were cows too. Baal, the calf, was what the isrealites were worshiping when Moses got pissed.
Baal's birthday was celebrated on Dec.25, as the Jews thought
the Sun was Baal incarnate, and celebrated the solstice accordingly. The religion was known as Mithraic.
