A tenet of Hinduism is that God was born of a giant serpent egg, was first out of the nest and ate up the others. Is this the God of the bible?

"A tenet of Hinduism is that God was born of a giant serpent egg, was first out of the nest and ate up the others." I do not profess to be an expert in Hinduism, but I have read the Ramayana and the Bhagavad Gita. The Hindu's believe in one godhead with many manifestations. If you talk to a Hindu about it he will tell you that it is no harder to comprehend or accept than a Burning Bush or a Brilliant Light. If you talk to a Christian he will tell you that there is only one God and that others may mischaracterize Him, but they cannot change Him.

I dunno, maybe that's calvinGod?
But seriously, NL pointed out the similarities in the concept of an elect to the idea of a fixed caste system of the Gita.
