Jews, Christians, and Muslims all get their religion from the same God as is in that story.  So no, I think he could have done a much better job of version control of his instruction manual. 

@Final-Fan Yeah I touched on that earlier, please keep up with the convo on that. And you are right about the splintering of beliefs after Abraham

Looking back, I see you did mention the basic fact, but it wasn't really getting at the same thing I was getting at with the "version control" comment.  Let me try another angle:  I don't think the "where there's smoke there's fire" argument really works when nobody can seem to agree on where the heat source actually is, or even prove that there is one. 

However, I have to admit that the above objection doesn't matter as much if you are restricting your argument to simply "the Abrahamic religions have historically proven themselves to be super crazy popular so there must be something in them that people find compelling."  In that case, well I can't disagree with that but I don't see why you would claim that the story of Abraham himself is one of the biggest selling points.  What are you basing that opinion on?
