THE BULL GOD OSIRIS
The ancient Egypt worshipped a god called OSIRIS the symbol of which was a calf- like idol. OSIRIS was the god of under world, and judge of the dead, and brother and husband of ISIS. In Egyptain mythology OSIRIS had a complex nature. He was a dead king and a royal god. In his symbolic shape of a bull, he was a nature and vegetation god and maker of corn, and was also god of the dead ones.
According to Egyptain myths, OSIRIS at first was a good and beneficient king who had married his sister. He was then killed by his brother whose name was Seth. ISIShis sister wife found the mutilated corpse of her husband and with the help of Anubis mummified the body. ISIS conceived and bore a posthumous son, named HORUS who avenged his father, and was declared by the gods to be the legitimate king and heir of the OSIRIS. After that OSIRIS became king of the underworld and HORUS his son was king of the living. Worship of the Bull OSIRIS, whose central temple was in the city of Memphis may be traced back to the first dynasty of Egypt. Worship of OSIRIS became particularly popular in later dynasties. Therefore the Egyptain Israelites in Moses time, who lived under the influence of Egyptains and in their cult, had the grounds for accepting a god of gold calf or other sort of idols that easy!

It is indeed a shame for mankind to read in the old Testament, and accept it as the word of God (EXODUS 32) that Aaron the Messenger of God who was chosen by Moses (AS) the Arch Prophet of Allah, as his successor; made the gold bull, and the maker of the idol was not a Samaritan or else! Let us see what the Bible - the perverted and tampered with, Bible says in this case:
``Aaron said to the Israelites; `Take off the gold earrings which your wives, sons, and your daughters are wearing and bring them all to me! So all the people took off their gold earrings and brought them to Aaron. He melted them, poured the gold into a mould and made a gold bull!
The people said: Israel! `This is our god who led us out of Egypt!''
Then Aaron built an altar in front of the gold bull, and announced: ``Tomorrow there will be a festival to honour the Lord.''
Next morning the people sat down to a feast which turned into an orgy of drinking and sex.
