Seany - they ARE all talking about the same God, even if the say they are not.Quote from: that mad man on 01/04/2008 16:35:43When I was talking to a Muslim friend of mine she says that the Gods of religions are not the same.When I pointed out that the arch angel Gabriel visited both Christian and Muslim prophets she maintains there is no connection and that the name is just a coincidence! []A Catholic friend, a priest, tells me that his Catholic God is not the same as others as his is the "one true God" and all others are false! A side note: the priest is now crippled from the constant kneeling down in prayer and unlike a plumber (similar problems from kneeling down) he cant get industrial injuries because he works for.. GOD!Looks like God treats his own with compassion..coughSeems to me that all the time there is more than one religion or more than one god it makes religion unworkable and laughable as it just becomes a case of "my god is better than yours"As Dawkings would say "When you talk about God which God are you talking about as there are many?"I agree with you - there are fanatics that say all the other gods are false - no matter what religion they are speaking from. In the history of theology, though, Christians, Moslems and Jews all are descendent's of Abraham. It is the same god but this is why the wars get fought. Intolerance and bigotry among the populace and power struggles among the priests and politicians.
