Why Would You Worship?

[Pyrrho]

I singled out christianity because I haven't researched much about the hindu's gods' personalities, or Allah, or Ba'al. I sincerely don't know, so I can't discuss it.

If you want any info on the a-holineses in hinduism, feel free to ask me

Your questions from a hindu perspective:
1) Is God good?
A: Nope, but nor bad either, at best it is neutral.

2) Why?
A: Those concepts are an illusion within the circle of life and don't apply to it. So anyone who can rise above these illusions can then finally break free of the circle of life and merge with their god.

3) Do you base your opinion more on the Old Testament or the New?
A: Doesn't directly apply to hindus, but hindus do have a lot more scriptures across a long time span. However none of the actual scriptures except "The Bhagvad Gita" is considered a word of god, but all are wisdom from wise men, and hindus are free to choose what they want to believe among all these scriptures. Yes, the hinduism comes packaged with the cherry-picking clause!
As for the Gita itself, even it itself isn't a rulebook like the abrahamic faiths, rather Krishna, whose words comprise the Gita, is claimed to have said in the Mahabharata (the gita is actually a sub-portion of this epic) that the dharma or wisdoms belong to a certain time period and must be changed with time.

4) Why?
A: Cherrypicking ofcourse!

5) Is there any bible verse that might remotely contradict your answer for question #1?
A: Again doesn't apply to hindus, but hindus do have totally contradictory scriptures with one rejecting the other. Ex: Manusanghita vs Padma-mahapuran

6) Why might I disagree with you?
A: Because you literally have the right to believe anything you want in hinduism, including god doesn't exist, or rejecting the concept of karma, and also there is no final authority in hinduism, unlike the vatican, which can declare your beliefs as true or false.

What you say is interesting, but with your number 6, if anything goes, how is it a belief system at all?  Aren't there Hindu priests or holy men or women who exert authority over others?  Even if your answer to 6 is true in theory, it does not seem to be true in practice.

Also, it is worth mentioning that a significant percentage of Christians reject Catholicism and do not care what the Vatican says.  There are thousands of different, independent sects (or denominations) of Christians.
