Left Hand of Dorkness, the Hare Krsna sect (ISKCON) is Vaishnava. Staunchly, uncompromisingly Vaishnava. Whereas the universalist Vedantists and mystics more often tend to follow the Shaiva version of Hinduism. Like Adi Shankaracarya, who taught the definitive Vedantic knowledge of Brahman. He was a Shaiva. In fact, ISKCON refuses to identify as Hindu. Even though they worship Krsna, they reject “Hinduism.”
So, how do you fit Coyote in with this? Not all gods are the Father, after all.
Do Muslim philosphers typically operate under the notion that infidels and pagans worship the “right” God, but do so in the “wrong” way? The Jack Chick set seems to regard Allah as an idolatrous phantom, while more sane Christian philosphers tend to simply regard Allah as another name for the Almighty used by folks who aren’t Jews, don’t think Jesus is an aspect of God, and do think Mohammed was the last of the Prophetic line. It appears to be suggested above that Muslim philosphers might consider Ahura Mazda (or maybe even Zurvan) to be another wrong-headed conceptualization of the Almighty God (and hence Zoroaster a false prophet), while the typical Christian philospher would regard Ahura Mazda as a false god, a sort of Golden Calf, full stop. Hence, to the Muslim, the Christian and Zoroastrian concept of God might be equally inferior, while to the Christian, Zoroastrians strike out, while Muslims connect, but hit a foul, so to speak.
