First, HINDUISM.... Second, BUDDHISM....Third, CHRISTIANITY, ISLAM ( who knows?)

hi shiby, I won't wear a bikini or shoes like that it's not my style happy mylotting

Shiby, I agree that it is done to provoke people. Mischief that can have serious repurcussions. It may also be because somebody is upset with a person from another religion, and is classifying the entire group as bad. This certainly is not the way to take out grudges. Having said that, we are doing ourselves no favors by showing gods in television serials and repeating Ramayana's, and Mahabharatas n number of times. I find myself opting for other programs even while some holy epic is being telecast in one of the channels. Reason? Depiction lacks depth or what you call gravity. I have also several doubts which are not cleared and watching such things increases their numbers. Moreover, a story that you already know how many times can you watch that? Give me a break, dont make gods so cheap. We have heroines praying everyday to gods in other serials as well. Do we do that? When in real life that kind of thing is not there in every household, how come it is shown like that? A few are realistic like "Bade Achche Lagte Hain", and "Hitler Didi", in this respect. Otherwise, it is cheapening our way of praying. So here is a Hindu criticising Hindu. lol. Seriously, I think god's serials should not be there. They cant be on par with other serials. Right? By the same logic as they cant be worn on clothes and shoes.

I feel the same way as you! I am a Christian, but of no denomination in particular, as I have gone to Methodist, Presbyterian and Lutheran churches. I actually sometimes go to Catholic churches too, especially when I am in cities like New York City. So I would say I am open minded, but I still find offensive what I sometimes see on television, even though those actresses/singers are well known!

There is a lot of that disrespect. I have seen jeans with Mary down one of the legs before. I think that money has become more important to businesses than respect and that is a shame.

This is the reason why I don't worship images. Imagine those people worshiping images and printed on their shoes and the worst- bikini... what are those...and they called themselves believers but insulting the images of their gods..:xxx

May be the idian religious sentiment is not known to those bikini maker. But binkini maker should know all about before they print any holy image in their apparels. They should not so freaky on us. They should know about where we react so ferociously or where we dont. May be those bikini makers or some one like those had not any motive to defame our holy images and they used them to beautify the their wears and nothing else.

I read this earlier that the image of our Hindu deity was imprinted on shoes and sold in a store.I was totally shocked on seeing this.No image of any religious significance must be used this way.People can be atheists or theists.That is their prerogative but no one has a right to be blasphemous.

"All religions are Buddhism." (Of course, it's Buddhism that says that; but that's because Buddhism isn't so much about 'serving the kingdom of a god' as it is about 'living an enlightened life,' which is what all religions--whatever they CLAIM to be about--are really about!) 'Loving your Flying Spaghetti Monster' isn't about "accomplishing great deeds in Its Noodley Name," it's more about 'trusting that your efforts--however small they may be--are serving as the fulfillment of The Kingdom.'

I believe so that it is shocking thing! There are those people who don't know how to take good care of other's feeling. They do things without minding what other's would feel! They just try to get my religion involved...or else.

Wekk,try to think about it from the point of view of people who makes bussiness on it...ok,its shocking...but our customers are mostly people who love fancy(read shocking clothes-so lets sell it.And it really sells!!!!As for me,i wear attributes of my Christian religion made of gold produced in Turkey,islamic country,and believe me,its the best quality crosses and icons you can find here!!!!1

This is really disgusting to see some athiest and saddist person doing this. Printing the images of god, or religiously related pictures in the worst posible place.

This is so sad I didnt knew anything abt it but i am really shocked to kno that people are so disrespectful. We should really do something about this otherwise theze stupid people will continue doing this to other respectable religions

hai how can ugive ratings to religions,is it a movie.on what basis u rate it,is itthe number of followers?if so will u consider the deadone also.seee religions existed on the basis of principles not on the basis of peoples

hmm..........you are quite right! world's getting worse every damn day! i have seen christians making insulting their own religion by making fun out of Jesus(pbuh) in lots of television shows. so im not surprised that they hurt your religion or any other infact. the days of morality and modesty is over.

I find your post rather strange Shibby because the way I see it, you are doing the same as the people displaying the Gods on clothing. You are displaying those photos for us to see. Isn't this disrespectful of you? Are you not bringing this so called insult to the sight of those devotees you mention? In my mind, you have also insulted Lakshmi and Lord Buddha here at myLot.

I have seen that fashion show news last year too and well yes we never know what these are thinking. I am catholic and i have seen people put the image of Christ's in Tshirts..and i am not offended with that, as that is a shirt and i am even proud to wear one. but putting his face in a bikini,maybe that is something i will not also like.

I am a Christian and with deep respect for each religion and belief. Religion after all a legacy of the Parents even though later you may change, but the roots are deep inherited from the parents. Its all thoughtlessness. There is no compitition. Each religion has a divine element, the belief of eachone is to be respected. A true religion will establish peace respect harmony.

Hello Shibham, This is ridiculous one should not think/do like this to gain profits in business.They should not play with the emotions of people.I don't believe much in God but does not mean i find out new ways to hurt those who believe God or use their photo like other cartoons.

I am in betweener in this, in the question of am i religious or not. I am not sure what i believe in. however i do agree this sort of thing is disrescpectfull to religion. Or at least in my view it is. Religious or not you should respect other peoples right to be religious, and should not do things like this whcih will upset the highly religious and dedicated people. I find it blasphemous to be honest
