Jain monk. He’s a good test taker and a bad discerner of the weaknesses of Hinduism. More than one God? Yeah, right. As if God is physical. Impossible. Jains were updated by Buddha in the 4th B.C. So joining a Buddhist monastery would be a step up from the Jains.

Jainism is not Hinduism. Jainism doesn't believe in a creator god -- essentially the beliefs are:

So they have more than one "god" (small g) but they are not worthy of worship in Jainism.

And Buddhism just took off the most strict versions of Jainism (like the strict veganism to the extent of not eating anything that grows underground for fear of harming microorganisms when you uproot, or that you should starve yourself to death to atone for the eating of living plants)
