Mahabharata Adi Parva Chapter 95 (Pandu killed a Rishi who was having mating in the form of a deer)
Ramayana 1.14.33-34 (Kausaylya performed Aswamedha)
- Claim: Aswamedha is a ritual in which a horse is killed, and the queen will insert it's penis into her vagina, and say horse, give seed.
- Truth: It's too wildly interpreted, and is unlikely to be true

Claim: Vyasa ejaculated after seeing an Apsara in the form of a parrot (https://ikhlaskhan008.wordpress.com/2016/12/21/sex-with-animals-and-hinduism/)

Hindu Scholars

Regarding Critics

Hindus generally consider their religion as myths
Apologists try to find problems in texts that Hindus don't even read
- For example, the Manu Smriti is no Bible - it is at most like a Sharia text
Hindus put their brains first, and religion second
- That is, they are not afraid to think beyond their religion if someone gives them a good enough argument
- Because "disbelief" is not a crime
They use misinterpretations to find flaws in a culture that they don't understand
- So much so that even where there are no problems, then find problems
