Hinduism and Christianity have similarities along with some differences. Hinduism gave woman no rights unlike in Christianity everyone was equal. They both have 10 commandments with qualities and differs, also indistinguishable qualities in the writings of how earth was created by their gods in thier books.
The Vedas says that a womans primary duty is to help her husband in duties and contiune his family tradition, like passing down a family bussiness. Mainly, a wife's primary job is to have babies and stay home with them.Wifes to men were like servants. Men have the right to marry more woman or have mistresses. But men have to treat them equally like having the same size house. Yet it was aginast the law that woman can not meet any men that was not realated to her without a family member with her. All people rather they are christian or not are equal. Men are not treated any higher nor lower than a female. They were equal. Once your married to a man you stay with him. He or she must not cheat on each other nor sepperate.
Commandments set how your soppous to behave and stuff that you are not soppous to do. Christianity and Hinduisam both have 10 commandments that are very much alike in ways and some ways are not alike. Some commandments that are alike is to speak the truth, do not steal, and non-violence. Some that were not alike was adultery. Christians were not allowed to commit adultery unlike Hindus. Christians are only soppous to have one god in their life since their is only one god in Christianity, and nothing can come before him. Unlike Hinduism they're many gods. If you are a Christian and you break a commandment then it is considered a sin and you ask forgivness from God. If you break a Hindu commanment you don't have a good after life.
Christians main book is the Bible. With writings about Christians religion into two sections- Old and New Testament. Hebrew Scriptures (the old testament) is about the creation of Earth that God made and how their is a Messiah (the founder). Then the New Testament introducing Jesus Christ the Messiah. Hinduism's main book is The Vedas but is broken into four- Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda, and Atharvana Veda. The Vedas are based on life and after life. Like the Christian's Bible the Vedas are most of Hindus beliefs and practices along with rituals. A simularity of The Rig Veda and The Bible both states that their was nothing but darkness before their creators created Earth. Also in the Rig Veda the god of the sky created rain that brought water to this land. Same as the Bible when God spoke let their be water their was water.
