Brahma and Abraham
#23
RE: Brahma and Abraham
It looks like there are enough misses in the match to brand this as sharpshooter fallacy.

Although, it's clear Judaism borrowed from other cultures.  "Satan" enters the Hebrew bible as any adversary, then by Chronicles develops into the god of evil, arch rival to god.  Scholarship links this development to Babylonian influence.  

So while it may be a stretch to say Abraham is based on Brahma, it's clear some concepts and story elements were borrowed.  That's an undeniable part of literature.
