Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God,....and their foolish heart was darkened. Romans 1:21
"Various Indian
officials and politicians on Wednesday responded to a viral video of a
most unpleasant “alternative therapy” by warning that people should not
slather themselves in cow dung to ward off the Wuhan coronavirus.
The video
from Shree Swaminarayan Gurukul Vishwavidya Pratishthanam, a school run
by Hindu monks which happens to be located across the street from a
pharmaceutical company called Zydus Cadila that is working on a
coronavirus vaccine, shows believers smearing cow dung and
urine over themselves to boost their immune systems.
Participants in the
ritual occupy themselves by hugging sacred cows and doing yoga while
they wait for the mixture to dry, then wash the dung off with milk or
buttermilk.
Another popular video shows Indian
lawmaker Surendra Singh, a controversial member of Prime Minister
Narendra Modi’s BJP party, claiming he immunized himself against the
coronavirus by drinking “cow urine with a glass of cold water.”
“There is no concrete scientific
evidence that cow dung or urine boosts immunity against Covid-19
[Chinese coronavirus]. People should also understand that using excreta
of cows is bound to increase the chance of some zoonotic or infectious
disease spreading,” Indian Medical Association (IMA) chief Dr. JA
Jayalal warned on Wednesday." Breitbart
