Re: Why did Hinduism never become an ‘organised’ religion like Christianity or Islam?
a) Nosherwan is the most correct poster in this thread. Giving Hindus brownie points for not expanding beyond their boundaries (how did they get those boundaries?) assumes they didnt try and fail.
b) Though the question of monotheism is besides the point, it is incorrect to say “BS! There is just one God in Hinduism!”. No, there is just one God in one, arguably revisionist, version of Hinduism.It can be monotheist, but there can also be no conception of a single divine God.
c) Organization is not a bad thing. We prefer organization in other aspects of life, there is no reason to dislike it in matters of religion. This is like anarchists disliking “organized politics” because of government excesses.
