With all due respect, big deal.

What would have been interesting is proving that God The Father of the
Christian Trinity is in fact different from any concept of God, Vedic
or otherwise. That would have been interesting, because then you could
make the claim that God is inherently dual, and the unknowable God The
Father of the Christian Trinity is the really different from the God
that created the rest of us ;-). The closest that site comes to
anything is to suggest collapsing the Trinity into Jesus, but hey,
that's not exactly new. However, there should be enough references in
the Bible to contradict the rather dubious attempt.

So, to put it briefly, if you can't show why Krishna, or Shiva, or the
Brahman (pick your favorite) is not God The Father, then it makes no
difference whether Jesus is in the Vedas or not.

P.S. Want real heresy? How about this suggestion - what's to stop
someone from mapping the Holy Ghost onto Brahman, and God the Father
onto either Krishna or Shiva (based on whether you're a Vaishnava or
Shaivite) - evidence denying _that_ would be really interesting.
