by the way this is one of the explanations. Hinduism if far to diverse in tis thought process. because it is a very open philosophy. it is too tolerant and believes in appreciating all the good things which in a lot ways leads to it being presented as contradictory because when you accept everything you will contradict yourself.. there are no restriction to which form god is. it could be in any form. it also as i mentioned earlier allows you not to believe in god at all.-Being a Hindu is way beyond just believing is god or not believing in god. God isn't the centre of attraction in Hinduism. Karma which means your Deeds are the centre of attraction. There is more emphasis on being a good human being and not necessarily on being a believer in God. That is where the core difference between Hinduism and abrahamic faiths is. I feel at times god and heaven and hell and all these concepts are given way too much importance than the actual practice of doing good deeds. I always say one thing to Christians and Muslims that rather concentrating on avoiding going to hell which i find extremely amusing why dont you just concentrate on doing good deeds because if you do that you would automatically not go to hell. but you see schools in america teaching kids about hell and how scary it is rather than teaching them to be good human beings. i find it weird.
