The Abrahamic faiths all believe that there is only one God. That makes it easy. However, there are three Abrahamic faiths and many more branches and sub-branches of these three faiths. And each of these faiths, branches and sub-branches claims that it is the only true faith and that all the others are false. That makes it complicating.

Some interesting comments to ponder!
God Who created everything cannot be man made but religions are man made. For only with man are there religions. How can man made the mountains and all there is? By chance? Evolution? That exactly is God and you know not. Do you think that God had a brain, two hands and two legs? God is all powerful . He can take what ever forms He wishes.
All religions are created by man and are supposed to guide man in this life and many are hijacked and abused by men for their own gain or blindly following them out of fear or are deceived. Religions are teachings but knowing God and walking with Him, no teachings can teach but by love and compassion for all there is. .

Well religion came about when men were primitive.
Now that men are educated they can think.So they will eventually come to a revelation that they are a colony of microbes in the sewage of the universe.
But GOD is good business. You know a lot of people survive doing whatever with it. Lets not deprive their livelihood. This is as far as GOD can go, I guess.
...
People who believe in Gods are cowards using God to frighten others into submission. Just look around our world. Some cowards when they are in majority who profess certain religion will kill in the name of God. When you isolate these cowards they will be as tame as a kitten.

Believing in God, The Force, The Energy, The Structuredness, sets you free. Believing in Religions enslaves you. All Religions are man made. I am not a Religionist.
If at all these are the doings of God to prove of his existence, this God must be crazy then to have put us in such a deplorable situation. Let's face it, we are bonded slaves in the name of religions and for all things craving in our pursuits for spiritual and materialistic gains here now and the aftermath. Is this the ultimate truth leading to the liberation of mankind and all living species and, if so, liberated from what and from whom? This is the question that begs reckoning!

The backbone of religion is the unwavering belief in one God. Their basis is on "faith" in the absence of proof. Atheists get attacked most just because they do not believe in God. It's the way some of us are wired genetically. Some of us (minority) always ask a lot of questions (challenging ones) but most people just accept & embrace what they are being told. Religion requires unquestioning obedience, but not all of us will just take it lying down. The more I look at the ugly world around us, the more convinced I am that God is man-made and religion is a mass control tool (very effective one).

When I was a small kid, to be exact in Primary school, one of my classmates told me, religion is like a dog tag. You have your dog tag, he has one, and I also have one. And we are so proud to display our tags. As an adult(old now), pride has nothing to do with religion to me. But alas, we still see so many people displaying their dog tags with pride and willing to kill the other guy, if that guy so much as comment unfavourably on his dog tag(religion).
I have always written that if these prophets of old were to return in their orginal form and declare that they are the prophets of old come to clear up things, nobody will believe them.
...
Sometimes I find it amusing and silly for people to argue over God and profess that their faiths are the true faiths, so much so that they behave as though they are God reincarnates and do or say things that are against the norms, practices and customs in society.
Cant we allow ourselves to practice and have the freedom to choose how we wish to practice our faith in peace??? ...
It must be hard to be a God in this complex world.
What a mess God has done to this world. And we are stuck in this battle between the God and the Satan.
I wish God has not created all these and leave the way things were and God can relax and do whatever he/she wants.. Take a vacation, may be?

...It is interesting that Malaysians have very little to do with the root of the Abrahamic faiths in the Middle East (we are not Jews, Palestinians, Arabs, etc.) and yet we argue about religion with more fervor than most of them.
Religion is created by man in the name of god to control mankind. It is the greatest tool where no force or power is necessary to influence and control a society to confirm to a certain doctrine that may suit the society at the relevant time. While religion teaches many good things (the selling point) it also teaches man "us against them" mentality.
I believe in A GOD for the core of my existence in mind,body and soul. Without my believe in God, I am devoid,soulless and lifeless. But I certainly have no need to put a name to my believe in God. I don't need to label myself a Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu etc,etc. and I most certainly don't need to be in a mosque,church,temple or a synagogue for me to touch base with God daily. I am absolutely at peace.
God does exist but man has usurped the power of God in His Name by creating many dos and don'ts to control the masses like compliant little mindless sheeps. Anyone that does not comply or simply questioned them is condemned or even put to death violently. Sometimes I wonder if these people are the servants of Satan by their actions and agenda. God is all loving and forgiving but these people preaches hate and killing. Go figure.
