It is weird when it is seen from a Judeo Christian world view. That worldview is still in infancy.
Human beings have a history of more than 10000 years.

It is also weird if seen from a islamic point of view or agnostic, atheist point of view. In hinduism people drink cow urine and think its healthy and makes them clean, they pray to rats (most unhygienic and disease spreading animal), they pray to snakes, then there is kamasutra which tells of eunuchs who practice oral sex on men and think its a holy spiritual thing, also in tantric teachings they worship the vagina. in manusmirti sudras are called of law origin and killing of a sudra is equal the killing of a bird or frog.
* 8.270 says Shudra are of low origin.
* 2.31 says a Shudra must be named something contemptible
* 3.164 equates a breeder of sporting-dogs, a falconer, one who defiles maidens, he who delights in injuring living creatures, he who gains his subsistence, with Shudra.
* 8.147 says a Brahmana can just seize the goods of Shudra for he is not permitted to have any property
* 9.178 says a son a Brahmana begets through lust on a Shudra female is a living corpse -- who is to determine it is by lust or true love, I donââ¬â¢t know!!
* 10.129 says a Shudra is not allowed to accumulate wealth because Shudra with wealth will give pain to Brahmanas.
* 11.131 & 132 equate the punishment for murdering a Shudra with that of cat, dog, frog, bird, etc. The punishment can be as mild and beneficial to Brahmana as giving ten white cows and one bull to a Brahmana.
there is also the caste system which is very racist, hindus say they are tolerant but yet they hate christians and kill them, they also hate sudras and dalits, high castes denie low castes to enter temples. i dont approve of traditional christianity but i read the new testament (jesus teachings) and they are about peace and love and that all men are brothers. i think it would be better for india if they adopt some christian teachings of equality among castes and get some morals. Sorry if i offended somebody.
