Why are Hindu Gods so Human? (Hinduism Vs Christianity & Islam)

When we look through the scriptures of Hinduism, the various deities appear to display extraordinarily human qualities. God is supposed to be all powerful, but Gods such as Krishna and Rama show emotions such as fear, grief and anger. Hindus are generally comfortable with this idea, but can find it difficult to justify this to Christians and Muslims.
This is because Abrahamic traditions by in large do not have the concept of 'Leela' or Divine play. This is where God takes on limitation for the endearment of His devotees. By appearing human and even fallible, the Lord draws us into a relationship with Him. Through that relationship we are taken to a deeper understanding of His glory.
Hindus are looking to experience God, whereas Abrahamic religions are looking to survive God and the coming apocalyptic day of judgement.
This root difference accounts for why Hindus feel free to enjoy and devote themselves to the Leelas of God. For the devotee, the highest state is to realise their unconditional love for the Divine.
