...pretty irrelevant.

Only if you just assume you are right going into the argument. You may be, but you will never convince anyone that way.

I'm not interested in convincing anyone that any religion that is man-made is over the top. I simply see them as transparently deceived.
Tell me, do you personally take Hindus seriously?


tidbit:


The 33 "gods of the Vedas":

They are not very popular. Although the Vedas comprise the most sacred literature of Hinduism, the divine pantheon in them is essentially ignored in daily life. Only one god important is Agni, who is both the god of fire, and the sacred fire itself. He continues to be worshipped in the daily rituals of each Hindu home. Every morning, an offering of clarified butter (ghee) and some grain cakes is shared communion-style between Agni (i.e., the fire) and the members of the household
Prajapati is the father of the gods and of the devils (asuras). Indra, the warrior god, with his band of Maruts, defeats the demons of darkness each morning so that the sun could rise. There is also the sky god Dyaus and a few goddesses, such as Aditi and Ushas.
