It's strange, but I have an affinity for the Hindu religions that I lack for the Abrahamic ones... First, I do not respect religions that begin with commandments. Second, the Mosaic 1st commandment regarding having no other Gods than the one god doing the commanding here is particularly offensive...the whole " thou shalt" trip is so very arrogant to begin with...and the emissaries of the Abrahamic religions are so convinced of the singular rightness of their beliefs...how boorish...!
If there is such a thing as true religion, the Hindu seem to be much closer to it than Jews, Christians, and Muslims...
