Some thoughts on Hinduism - Based purely on discussions with actual Hindus.

About as? Nigga they worship anything that has visible range and more, and they do it however the fuck they want it.
It's pure paganism and as you say and an evil one at that, which, as you've said, lets the rich eat the poor and doesn't believe in evil at all.

Never heard of it. Maybe plausible but dubious as Asoka (a warlord which vastly expanded the Indian Empire) famously converted to Hinduism which is supposedly why the subcontinent is predominantly Hindu.
Unless the British were capable of inventing a an entire historiography and fabricating evidence, I doubt that's actually how it went down.

Ashoka was a devote Buddhist.

This is the one paragraph where I'd tend to disagree.
Many of the more "moralistic" sects of Hinduism see the caste system as being very similar to the Christo-Islamic conception of hell wherein you deserve the life you have and the bad karma accrued through it because you have already strayed from the path to enlightenment. This is actually the cause of a criticism mainly levied by the Aghori where a negative feedback loop results due to people being on the wrong path and are summarily forced even further down it. Hell is basically the eternal set of lives you are forced to live.

It's the Shivrati who care not for what your previous lives were or what you did. They are all about lessons learned but this results in other antisocial behaviors as the common Indian rape gangs are primarily Shivrati.
It's not supposed to be a blank check to do as you please, but many of Shiva's cultists act as though it was. The sect almost explicitly says it's okay to do bad things sometimes, creation through destruction after all. And so many are convinced it's their lot in this life to be bad people so as to learn the lessons which come from being bad.

I disagree, though I see where you’re coming from.

Hinduism believes in right and wrong, and that wrongdoers will be punished, but (at least in my opinion) they’ve always seemed to place an importance on personal experience (wether good or bad) that more “to the point” religions don’t have. In Abrahamic religions the path to salvation is more explicit—75% of God’s wishes are often clear without much philosophy, and as long as you follow them, you’re safe. Hinduism is a lot more vague and inconsistent depending on what situation you’re in—you can see this in the concept of Dharma. A lot of their practice is focused on personally learning to be an enlightened soul instead of strictly following clear directives. For example, lot of the time they see worldly pleasures as being degenerate just like western religion, but IIRC in a lot of contexts they see it as something it’s important to experience to gain a more expansive experience of the universe.

The caste system differs quite a bit from hell in my opinion because castes tie into reincarnation. In Abrahamic religion hell is a final place of finality, eternal torture and desolation. If you go there you have certainly failed any chance to embrace God’s grace, you’ll never get another chance, snd you’re never coming back. Whereas caste is supposed to be a temporary step—you’ll reincarnate after life is complete, and you’ll either move up in the hierarchy towards enlightenment or down as a scolding from God for your sins. Even if you’re a Dalit/untouchable who’s lower than dirt, you can always reincarnate in your next life by improving yourself, and opposed to rotting away for all eternity you do necessary work (though of course none of your “betters” will appreciate you for it).

Once again because of how diverse it is, this isn’t accurate for many of them, but it’s a quality at least many of its branches have.

I think a lot of the dysfunctional parts of Indian society come at least partially from struggling to accept such intellectual demanding and complex moral systems. Your “enlightened” bhramins are often going to be posh rich assholes, nobody agrees/collaborates on anything and you get justified antisocial behavior like you said.

I had a Religious Studies professor who said that there isn't really Hinduism so much as a family of religions of "Hinduisms." That was an eye-opening description and I find it useful sometimes for describing other situations where a denomination can deviate so far from normal practice of a religion as to be like a new religion while still clearly being part of it (Mormonism as "a Christianity" rather than as Christinaity).

Hinduism seems like a pretty shite religion, basically just pagan babble that managed to survive to the modern day through luck. I think it's pretty based that Thuggees were straight up Indiana Jones human sacrifice outlaws and it's kind of interesting how Buddhism is to Hinduism what Christianity is to Judaism, lots of parallels (religion of the downtrodden that reformed the older parent fiath which persecuted it, practiced mainly outside of its homeland).

Jainism is the real big brain religion, being as they accurately predicted microbiology and germ theory in ancient times.

I'd consider converting to a Tantric cult to fuck brown Aryan women.

It's very interesting, especially the vedic works since it's one of the oldest connection to Europien Deities

Sadly most of this is overlooked or dismissed by ironyfags who dismiss Hinduism as "anime" or quoting poo in the loo, or bleeding hearts who are horrified by something as universal as the caste system.

It is indeed a fake religion invented by poo in the loos many millennia ago to get ahead by basically inventing racism but based on name, like name-ism. Caste systems are ancient bible tier third world bullshit, we figured out a long time ago that your family name doesn't matter, what matters is what you do. That is why the west is successful and the east isn't, the latter is stuck in their retarded backwards ways that don't work anymore. The only reason why Hinduism is still alive is because HR dipshits are obsessed with it because it is the most backwards and stupid culture for them to force everyone to respect. Nobody white reads up on this shit and suddenly converts to Hinduism because we value our time

I am disappointed, kiwis.
When somebody opens up a discussion in a polite manner like this, instead of gloating online how their religion is better and his people will replace yours, you should engage with some level of politeness, or at least neutrality if you cannot handle typing one considerate post.
I discovered Hinduism through my mom, she gave me Ramayana to read as a child, later Mahabharata. If you like RPGs and hero journeys, well, you'll like these ancient books too.
When I grew up I discovered a great set of books written by a Romanian fascist and Hindu sympathizer, Mircea Eliade, they're quite famous: History of Religions, but sadly not that well known in the West. The books have large sections for Hinduism, Islam, Christianity and more, about their historical conflicts and development. Eliade himself is a fascinating personality, typical for the European philosopher and scholar, esoteric right wing archetype - he even was an open supporter for the Iron Guard. India and Hinduism were large parts of his vision on mysticism.
Recommend reading all books mentioned.
Streetshitting is a funny stereotype and meme, same as with the world superpower by 2050 or w/e, but if you want nourishment for your mind and smarts, get them books and start ingesting knowledge.

As a surface level observation yeah, but I also wonder if the multiple arms thing was supposed to represent fast movement instead. I’d ask a pajeet myself but most of them are college educated Brahmins and they don’t exactly like whitey over here.
