I'm taking another look at this symboism issue and I'm starting to wonder whether the symbolism of Christianity is the most perverse of all.
I mean their main symbol depicts a guy being tortured. All the Christian churches I've ever been in invariably have a life sized cross with a life sized jesus on it...with blood, and wounds. I was driving the other day, looking up at an apartment complex, and I noticed someone had put up a life sized Jesus-on-the-cross in their front room. I hope they never have kids, they'll have nightmares.
Sure Hinduism has Kali and one of the Buddhas is pretty emaciated, but you can't beat JC for the 'house-of-horrors' look.
