ABC News: China has a scary dragon stamp

[Roybot]

"God" might exist no one knows for sure, that's why is called faith. But I'm not so sure about a talking elephant with 4 arms.

Belief in a being more powerful than humans is not illogical as humans are very limited beings. Belief in creatures with elephant heads or bird wings has nothing to do with that concept.

You should read up the story behind the "mythical creatures" If man walking on water is faith, if noahs ark is faith, so is this elephant headed "creature".

Learn, read about Hinduism if you want to comment about it.

Can't believe the Chinese are scared of their own dragon.

At least your common sense is prevailing over ever more ridiculous Western propaganda.

The new set of 20 stamps is priced at 178 yuan ($27.8) at his store, much higher than the set's face value of 24 yuan.

‘Ferocious’ dragon stamp sparks furore

Yeah, Chinese are so "scared" of our government-issued commemoration stamp that the price has gone up 8x

These are just that, stories of events that may or may not of happened, often exaggerated, that people attach to their religion and their culture, which is different in nature than saying God is an elephant. It has nothing to do with the existence a being greater than humans. Religion is a human institution people have created in an attempt to relate to and understand such a being in limited human capacity, which would be impossible if indeed God is an infinite being.

You are misinformed. As I said read about it, you ll find plenty of information on the internet. Elephant is not regarded as God.

At the end of the day its all about creativity, Hindus decided to be more creative than the others, doesn't make our God any more fake(no proof of existence) than other less creative religions

So he's not a god but a dude with an elephant head, that people think is god in their creativity?

Maybe it's just one of the many incarnations of one god like Zeus incarnated into a Swan to seduce Leda. He also incarnated into a bull to seduce Europa and into an eagle to seduce Ganymed. Those Greek gods were some serious kinky fornicators.

the theory is that god ie allah can take any form. one of the form we believe he took was that of Lord Ganesh. if you think allah is weak enough that he cant take other forms then its your belief. be at peace.
