text: why why why? just why?:(? why do hindus worship gods made by themselves when the statues cant hush off a fly by themselves?  asked this question before and got this even more complicated answer! it said: "lets take an example when someone needs to recognise you to meet you and they are given your photograph ,the photograph of yours cannot act like you but its ur recognition. statues of hindu gods are only a force of reconginization of god and not god.  well then if u want to thank the person...u wont say thanks to the photograph wud u? u'd go to the person. then y not straight away ask from god rather than his "photograph"?  im myslef a hindu but this religion is too much confusing for me. my intellect just doest give way to follow it. plz help me coz my family doesnt want me to convert to christanity or islam.  plz pm me on   rnsm_4ever and help me solve this. help me! i'll someday might die out of this confusion which does not let me concentrate on anything else. very confused people those indians, huh !!!
