Kiwi, i would rather say, hinduism doesn't consider GOD to every things here and there, but for sure you can say we as hindu pay certain homage or gratitude to Nature and its creation. Why can't we have different perception than being so stereotypical pundit? Yes we worship Kukur not becoz kukur is God. Infact it is loyal to it master thruout its life, and we worship being so thankful to it. No need to bring issue about the fate of Kukur in nepal thruout the year except for kukur puja. Thats consequence out of mockery, nothing to do with Hindu religion .. I have read some hindu mythology and have seen woman being so respected thruout. "MAATA" ; is what woman were in hindu religion. Which is right? Most of them are bizarrely twisted, had been derived by some autocratic cleric and pundits to rule over the ignorant people. Look at MM, he simply termed GOD as ALIEN. If his words are scripted now, 500 hudreds from now we will be worshiping Aliens, our MM will be as renoun as Vyas..
