I do not like the way the religion of Hinduism is practiced in many parts of India is what I mean. Hinduism has promoted EXTREME classicism, more so than Christianity had done here in USA. Also, like Islam, Hindu Traditional spawned laws which have oppressed women and other minorities.
However, the Mythology and lessons from the Vedas Books of Wisdom are just beautiful and fascinating, and inspire me so much that I renamed myself Goddess Kali.
Egyptian Mythos also fascinates the hell out of me, even though it has been retconned over and over by each rising Dynasty. Ra, Isis, Amun, Osiris, Ptah, etc. Each God becoming more powerful than the last, taking the thrown away from the last God, as each new Pharoah decides to take power and change the religion.
Christianity, however, is also confusing. Three persons in One God, not condusing heh ? 😬

"But you know I could discipline the humans by simply showing myself to them instead of keeping myself hidden in the skies....instead of sending innocent people to eternal hell fire to be tormented simply because they weren't convinced of my existance.... 😬 ..that would be the mature thing to do, instead of acting like the over grown child the Bible makes me out to be...."

It's a mottif:
Father=Unseen God head
Son= Spirit of God made flesh, and it might represent the Sun itself in some traditions
Holy Spirit= The Divine spirit in all men.

that aint necessarily true. The caste system was originally like a job system where a person who was good at somthing was put inot a certain catagory, but then over the centuries the more educated brahmins corrupted the system and gave ranks to each class were there wasnt before.
As much as its an interesting religion, theres alot of shit in it like other religions, with corrupt priests and discrimination against women.

Only God knows. This is the Great Mystery all the mystical traditions write about.
Okay here's how it really happened, there is Samuel L. Jackson, a being who is eternal, has always existed and always will, he created God, who he gave the task of creating reality, you know, the universe, heaven, hell, all that. Why did Jackson do it? No one can analyze what is in Jackson's head, it is an enigma.

Islam is as different as Christianity as Christianity is different from judaism. It's an Abrahamic religion as many of the mainstream religions.As for hindusim, I know many hindu's who worship many different diety's. I know someone who worships hanuman and I know someoone who worships Kali. The religion has many GODs, and Brahma is the least worship god in mordern Hinduism.

i dont believe he did. but its a question for those who believe he did. if we take god as an axiom with the basic properties which defines him. then the question holds ground for all who claim his existance to be true.
