I dont know what major diffrences there would be between polytheism and Hinduism especially since Hinduism seems to keep evolving.
How is polytheism different?
I think humans are totally arrogant to believe some god or other would have any interest at all in human beings. I mean, we are the latest in a series of great apes and apex now with the crew of gorilla's, Chimps. Bonobos, Orangutans and such but we are not the only species of homo sapiens, including Neandertals, Denosovans and such and strangely enough, they are history, fossils but had equal intelligence to modern humans.
But they are gone. Wonder why no deity took the time to do whatever, DNA spruce up, widen the food list we could eat, whatever, to make THOSE species make it up to today's time.
It's like we are living on a basically hostile planet and we can go the way of Neandertals just as easy as not and it doesn't look especially promising that we may be here say 10,000 years from now.
I can't see how a deity capable of doing the alleged things said deity was supposed to have done, would let a 3 yo girl die of cancer of the vagina in extreme pain and such, such happenings going on by the millions.
Or the fairy tales in the bible claiming this deity, finding this tribe of allegedly nasty people, decides to to a mass extinction of all land animals with a flood going to the top of Mt. Everest and such, all to get rid of said nasty humans?
This is one of the most repugnant stories in the bible yet millions of people take it totally seriously like it really happened.
The gist here is all that crap is just that, crap, made up by humans in order to cause the flock to live in fear of this bizarre sociopathic god.
Sorry, but humans telling me about god's is never going to get traction with me. A deity want's to come down and personally tell me how it is, fine. Humans telling me, RIGHT.
