Well, I don't have access to my manga collection to double-check

now, but in the Ultimate Destruction Program storyline Belldandy
says
something to the effect of 'All of us have the same Father."
implying that
Kami-Sama is the father of at least the three Goddesses and
probably all Goddesses. 

Christian has already addressed the problem with Kami-sama being the
father (they don't treat him like their father, nor does he treat
them like daughters, nor does he match Hild's description of the
father).

Being the father of all goddesses has problems because when Skuld
came to Earth, she said that she had been left all alone in Heaven.
How could that be if every goddess there is her sister? In fact, she
came after Urd left her, and Urd would be less her sister (being half
demon) than the remaining goddesses in Heaven like Peorth. Makes no
sense for her to feel "all alone" after Urd left if all goddesses
share the same father.

Hence, Kami-sama is probably neither the father of the sisters, nor
is he the father of all goddesses.

As for Mara being Urd's sister and Hild's daughter, Belldandy
mentions that Mara was Urd's friend. No mention of sister. Why would
Belldandy call Mara Urd's friend if she was Urd's sister? Belldandy
is adamant about Urd being her true sister even though she's half
demon. Why would she ignore Mara's relationship to Urd? There's
nothing to indicate Mara is Urd's sister, and good evidence that she
isn't.
