Please do not use the word Hindu. Arya is the true word. Hindu word was coined by Muslim Arabs it means a thief or something similar. Somepeople now claim that it refers to river Sindhu. Anyway Hindu word is not found in the vedas. Please do not worship stones or animals as the vedas believe in one formless god. Arya Samaj is the only true Hindu movement. In Arya temples you will not find idols of any demi-gods. Gita also says that do not worship demigods.
Gita Seventh Chapter, twentieth verse:
"Those whose minds are distorted by material desires surrender unto demigods and follow the particular rules and regulations of worship according to their own natures."

Hinduism supports all kinds of views. It is unique in that respect. Bhagwat Gita clearly says that all faiths finally comes to me like all rivers even though flowing in different directions reach the same ocean. Read Bhagwat Gita again.

Righly said. Also he should know Hindu does not mean thief. It is a corrption of the word Sindhu and was used by Iranians to refer to people living on this side of Indus.
Arya Samaj is crap. Idol worship is not bad at all. These Arya Samaji's god frightened due to the anti-idolatory propaganda of Christians and Muslims and changed their worship to suit their taste.
They never bothered to see that a church is full of statues and idols in front of which Christians light candles. Muslims go mad after Kaba and its stone.
These Muslims and Xians are smoking something. They cannot worship idols and then accuse the whole world of idolatory.

Hindu is a Persian corruption of the pronunciation of Sindhu, another name for the river Indus, which Persians associated with our land.
