For starters, the Hindu god, Brahma, was considered the creator of all. How does that line up with Abraham?
Brahmā (Sanskrit: ब्रह्मा; IAST:Brahmā) is the Hindu god (deva) of creation and one of the Trimūrti, the others being Viṣņu and Śiva. According to the Brahmā Purāņa, he is the father of Manu, and from Manu all human beings are descended. In the Rāmāyaņa and the Mahābhārata, he is often referred to as the progenitor or great grandsire of all human beings.
12) And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
(Not to be confused with Brahmán, Brahmā, or Brahmin.)
In Hinduism, Brahman (ब्रह्मन् bráhman) is the one supreme, universal Spirit that is the origin and support of the phenomenal universe.[1] Brahman is sometimes referred to as the Absolute or Godhead[2] which is the Divine Ground[3] of all being.
Brahmā (Sanskrit: ब्रह्मा; IAST:Brahmā) is the Hindu god (deva) of creation and one of the Trimūrti, the others being Viṣņu and Śiva.
Brahmā's wife is Saraswati.

Great post! I love this subject. S&F
On a side note Genesis 19: 23-25 is a really interesting passage besides trying to figure out what the fire reigning from heaven is.
"The sun had risen over the earth when Lot came to Zoar. Then YAHWEH rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and FIRE FROM YAHWEH out of heaven, and He overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.
Yahweh reigned fire from Yahweh? Two Yahwehs? What?
23) By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land.
24) Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah —from the Lord out of the heavens.
A number of astronomers believe the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah involved comet activity. Dr. John S. Lewis, a retired professor of Planetary Sciences at the University of Arizona and Co-Director of the NASA Space Engineering Research Center at the University of Arizona, is one scientist who believes that the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was caused by cosmic bombardment (Rain of Fire and Ice: The Very Real Threat of Comet and Asteroid Bombardment). Genesis 19:24 says, "Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven." "Brimstone (burning sulfur) and fire raining down from heaven" could be a description of the break up and disintegration of a comet in the Earth's atmosphere above these ancient cities, since large chunks of rocky and icy material falling from heaven would be seen as fire raining down from heaven. In addition, cometary material is rich in sulfur. Even a small meteor fall can produce a smell of sulfur that is so strong that it is almost suffocating.
Did you know that the the virgin birth of Christ is a later interpolation and corruption of the beliefs of early Christianity perpetrated by the Catholic Church? This is the myth of the "golden child" in:
Egypt: Isis and Horus imagery virtually identical with Catholic Mary and Jesus;
However, when the actual writings about Horus are competently examined, this is what we find:
• Horus was born to Isis; there is no mention in history of her being called “Mary.” Moreover, Mary is our anglicized form of her real name ‘Miryam’ or Miriam. “Mary” was not even used in the original texts of Scripture.
• Isis was not a virgin; she was the widow of Osiris and conceived Horus with Osiris.

She made to rise up the helpless members of him whose heart was at rest, she drew from him his essence, and she made therefrom an heir.
Did you know that the 12 tribes of Israel and the twelve disciples of Jesus represent the 12 signs of the zodiac? As do the 12 Olympian gods; the 12 sons of Odin; the 12 names of Hindu sun deity Surya; the 12 Imams of Islam; and the 12 sons of Jacob in the Old Testament....

Yes, Satan being god of this world, hence the longevity of and the widepread power structure of the Catholic Church. Historically, true Christians have always been quickly silenced and exterminated: point in case the Marcionites of the 2nd - 3rd c , the Bogomils and Cathars shortly after the turn of the first millenium AD.
