Christianity is not truly monotheistic whereas Hinduism is. The two god figures are god and devil which are two distinct opposites who wield power over human life. The many Hindu gods are all facets of the one god but good and bad deities are all part of the one god. Shiva – the destroyer and who Oppenheimer quoted at the test of the first nuclear bomb – is as much part of the divine as Brahma or Vishnu (the creator and preserver respectively).
The devil seems as plenipotent as god over human life but the bad stuff is ascribed to it and god is perceived as good. This divided interpretation of the divine allows believers to love god without truly knowing god’s proclivity for good and bad. Having faith that god is good is easier than believing in a higher being which does moral right and wrong.
In my personal creed it’s stupid to love or hate god. It’s far too complex to be labeled or judged by something as basic as a human consciousness. However I bow to the occasional stupidity so I frequently hate god even though it might sometimes seem like god is on my side. We have a complex relationship.
The truth is there’s no duality. It’s not the absolute truth but it’s the closest I know. I’ve not always hated god. For most of my life I didn’t believe it existed.
