The fact is that societies support of archaic and ignorant beliefs in all the Gods that are out there is the root of all its problems. More people have been murdered in the name of god than any other reason
Allah and Jehova are one and the same. Arabs and Jews descended from the same peoples.
That makes the religious fight hing stupid doesn't it.
Islam is definitely an ideology, like communism.... the similarities are there. It is not even close to being a peaceful religion, no more than communism. They kill their own people with their hatred that is brainwashed into them from childhood, they hide behind women and children. They leave their people no chance for betterment....
god is god, hes just got a few aliases, and all the worlds Major religions use the first five books of the old testament. our interpretation org god, is based on social and cultural diversity, but just like us humans, if you cut us do we not bleed... and the blood is always red. behind the ideology and philosophy, god is always god, he just uses different names.
of course this presupposes that god is. when in fact he may be not. we dint know, but that's the nature of faith isn't it? and no matter which god, or gods you pray to, no-ones god says thou shalt kill in my name. read psalm 37 and 38.
God's real name is YHWH(YAHWEH).Allah is/was an Arabian "moon-god" who cannot help you.YAHWEH/Jehovah IS the Living God of the Jews/Christians/possibly others.
oh boy... I'm no theology major, but I'll do my best to sort you out.
"Allah" is the Muslim word for "god". the christian god and Allah are the same character. the difference is that Muslims follow mo hammed whereas Christians followed Jesus.
Buddhists are agnostic and don't have a god per say. i don't know squat about Shinto, so i'll leave it at that.
every religion that has a god believes that their god is the only god. just be clear that muslims and christians (and many others) actually worship the same god/allah.
Most major religions, including Christianity, include the principle that their belief system is the only valid one.
Some people take that literally, and you have religious wars and persecutions. Anybody remember the Christian Inquisition? Or the Crusades?
Most followers of religion, however, take the statement figuratively, as meaning that the religion considers itself the best way.
Fortunately, outside the US and the Middle-East, most people are also willing to be tolerant of other beliefs, and accept that if you don't follow a particular religion, then you also aren't bound by its internal declarations of being the One True Way.?
What they claim isn't the problem. Many religions claim their god as the real one. The problem is that the followers of Allah give you the choice of believing in Allah or death. They don't like to get along with the rest of the world.
it leaves JHWH or Jehovah(Jewish or christian god)
exactly where he is since he is one and the same Al's Allah.
Buddhism does not include belief in a deity(it doesn't exclude it either)
Besides if you are really strongly monotheist start wondering about Hindu's first.
No religion is superior, and it is very sad if anyone thinks so.
This diminishes theirs as well as others Humanity.
G-D's Covenant with Abraham DOES NOT exclude the possibility of other peoples, cultures and faiths, for example Buddhism, finding their own relationship with G-d through the universal SHARED framework of the Covenant of Noah, and even Abraham and Moses.
In other words, there is more than one path to G-d and Enlightenment.

Religion could be an easy way of getting people to behave civilly; most religions' holy writings involve telling people to treat each other well, not to steal from each other, kill each other etc. Unfortunately, humans are ultimately responsible for preaching what is or isn't correct with regard to 'religious beliefs' - just as humans wrote the Qu'ran and Bible,so there are humans today preaching their beliefs in the name of religion. This causes society worldwide to degenerate into the 'I'm right and you're wrong' school of thinking.There is no big beard in the sky; only humanity; we could be divine if we treated each other as equals.
There is only one God. The problem is religions. When you go on the last journey of life you will see. Whom ever you praised on this earth it will be one God for all. If only all the Worlds religious leaders would tell the truth, we may have peace.
If it is true there is one god and his name is allah ,Where does that leave buddhism
