Hindu Temple of Rochester

this building is very modern and very ugly. i have never enjoyed an event i attended here… i guess i embrace my indian heritage, but being an atheist (and the child of atheists), i much prefer the cultural festivals held at the india community center (icc) to the hinduism heavy worship festivals they hold at the hindu temple. the zealotry and sheer ignorance of the people embroiled in their worship always astounded me… particularly the frenzy that would erupt when i wouldn’t finish the desserts that were made as offerings to the gods (it’s sinful to waste that food). dude, i don’t eat bananas… i told you not to put the banana mush on my plate – if it’s the gods’ food, then why don’t the gods friggin’ eat it? i’m not gonna!!!
