I try to put it as concise as possible:
Hindus are common-sensical people and do NOT believe that the Supreme Being (God) loves only a certain group of people and considers all others as inferior and even sends them eternally to hell, if they don’t join that ‘certain’ group(s).
Another point which is special and probably most important:
Hindus believe that the Supreme Being (Brahman/ SatChitAnanda) is formless yet it sustains and permeates all forms. It means that the Supreme is within all of us.
To claim that the human being is one with the Supreme Being is not allowed in the Abrahamic religions.
Yet if one reflects deeply this makes sense and it also can be realized as true.
If people would reflect deeply on these points, those who are not Hindus, might want to become Hindus…
