Seven-year-old girl is declared a living GODDESS in Nepal because she has 'eyelashes like a cow' and 'a voice as clear as a duck'

LOL...right?!

Let people have their Gods. Some believe both. Believing doesn't have to actually be religion.

There's no such thing as aliens.

The religious will just say they're fallen angels or something like that.

The religious will just say they're fallen angels or something like that. He'll

Don't be stupid, if that happen they would be Gods.

Yep....that's the stupidest comment I've read all day

or they are god.

I hope someone can teach you that aliens don't come to earth. It's far too boring, with no intelligent life forms.

There is no God.

Maybe one of the first aliens to ever come to our planet was named God it would make more sense with every ancient culture across the globe believing in a god like person protecting their crops,homes,families. Then as time went by the stories kept changing until we get to modern day God beliefs.

what if the aliens arrive and they believe in a god even worse?

They did but they told us they were God

And that we had been worshipping aliens all along.

The devil dodgers still won't be convinced.

At least they are happy.

And end up like Tony Blair?

Don't be ridiculous

No she won't at all, that comment just proves your own stupidity! This is a religious tradition and as is stated in the article 'she will revert back to civilian life before puberty' Just because YOU don't understand something doesn't mean it's wrong!

She DOES... didn't you read??/ She has the eyelashes of a cow and a voice as clear as a duck. It's truly amazing!!!

Like little Princess Charlotte ?

Kocour, you're projecting Christian ideas here. Wrong religion.

Indy don't forget those 'thighs like a deer.'

So kind of like priests then

Bit like our our footballers on £250,000 a week then?

Based on what? Your standards? Read a little more about this and it soon becomes evident that this is one of the biggest honours a child and their family can be given - an honour which is recognised for the rest of their lives, even after they "revert back to normality". What gives you the right to judge others based on your standards?

Why?

Kahonen, most people only know one stanard, culture, religion ... and they don't know enough others have their own and are very different. They judge others by their own measure. It's called ignorance. They don't know what they don't know and they are not open minded / humble to learn. Judgemental, ignorance and arrogance is at the root here.

Except she isn't poor. Not in money terms, her family and her are well provided for, which is far more than most of the other people in these villages. Better a "goddess" then struggling to survive, surely?

Like Catholics believe they are consuming the flesh of Jesus when they partake in Communion

dic1550; You have misinterpreted this. Communion is symbolic only. No Catholic believes they are consuming Jesus.

Not me dang it! I have the cow's eyelashes and the deer thighs, but no duck voice especially when I sing, it makes my dogs howl.

I'm not sure what you class as a 'normal' childhood; but, no. No children in Tibet will have an English childhood.

Her feet cannot touch the ground (as in dirt) so she'll be able to play indoors and walk on a floor. Her caretaker's children will be her friends, she'll have private tutors that will teach her all she needs to know (maths, reading, writing, etc.) so she could be prepared for life after being a goddess. She'll receive a pension after she is no longer a goddess. While she is a goddess, she will have everything paid for her (food, clothing, housing, education, etc.).

Jessie; Can't you read? Her caretakers are her parents, and there is no mention of her having brothers or sisters. Her mother says that it makes her sad that her daughter cannot play outside with her friends, but that the friends come to play with her inside.

I know right! I wish the Trash-ians would just go away.....and take Kanye West with them

Yep. I hear that. ..................Peace out.

They're just as despised in the UK, who are the millions who follow and adore these people??

Rather haughty of you to presume so much about people you have never met. I CHOSE my beliefs after many years of searching and contemplation. I have no religion, nor am I at all religious. Perhaps you ought to heed your own counsel.

very ignorant comment m e o w. Convinient that you can choose to belive what you want to without any evidence to back it up. My argument is logical and well constructed, but you suddenly decide that because it makes you uncomfortable, you need to effectively tell me that I've offended you. Refute my point instead?

Is this a sick joke about the Nepal earthquake?
