A lot of hostility toward men, there. Is that a religion ?

You've heard of Hinduism - a few practice it, I hear.

Kali is the goddess of death, violence, time, motherly love, cosmic knowledge, sexuality, fertility, and feminine power.

Strong woman that might threaten men unsure of themselves........

Not only have I "heard of" it, we had a teacher in our school who was (and still is) a Hindu. An extremely well-liked, pleasant person. Your posting is an interesting interpretation and clarification of the picture. I had no idea of the violence aspect. Judging from her facial expression, which I have come across from time to time, I thought she was benevolent. Just goes to show what assumptions can make of a fella.

There were death cults that worshiped her......

This is much more appropriate for Barbie. Ages 5 and up....

Hindi religion is very complicated. The "gods" take on multiple aspects, attributes and avatars . Some of the deities are linked as specific "faces" of other ones. Kali is often linked to forces of destruction but these are normally linked to destroying really bad things. There are/were Kali cults where "worshippers" pervert the core teachings to justify really bad behavior. Seems to be a common problem with many religions. It's OK for me to behave badly since "god" told me to do so. It seems that a lot of people have created god in their image rather than the other way around.

"Street Walker Barbie" was the nickname for the "Black Canary" incarnation. I suspect it's a collectors item given it's short appearance and media rename

I met Kali today. She seemed like a nice girl.

Not at all. She asked us to watch her bicycle while she went into the Circle K.
When she came out she came over to the cart to thank us and asked what we were selling.
It was then that I noticed what made her look blue... prison tattoos, the blue ink spreading under her skin.
All our literature is free so she took one of these:


Seems quite a coincidence that I met a blue girl named Kali on the same day Rufus posted a Barbi Kali.

Our corner of the Universe is full of mysteries and amazing phenomena, huh.

I watched it again. Now where is/was the hostility toward men?

Look at Wayne's posting at the bottom of p683 , the blue multiple-armed figure. She was my reference.

The heads are those of demons that Kali has killed in battle Murph. They are all depicted as male demons.

How do you view the gender of demons in your religion?
For example, from the New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (NRSVCE)

Luke 8:30--Jesus then asked him, “What is your name?” He said, “Legion”; for many demons had entered him.

James 2:19--You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder.

Are the demons mentioned male or female?

Your answer may change how you view Kali's hostility.

Thugs no doubt. The Thugs of India considered themselves children of Kali (a Hindu goddess), created from her sweat.
I'll bet Sarge could tell us about Sir Donald Friell McLeod's campaign against the Thugs.
