Welcome to Gaia! ::

Haydar: my point was, I believe we worship the same god, the only difference is the name...
Yes, and you're right, that, culture makes it seem different.

And, another thing, do all Christians believe that Jesus (pbuh) is god?

No not all Christians believe Jesus (P) was God, There are Unitarians that derive him in a similar view as Muslims do.

Well yes, But I generally see Christians who don't even know anything about Jesus or Paul's sayings of respect. Instead they mock both Judaism and Islam just because they aren't the same as Christianity. But yes your right, Both of them have said to be respectful and I agree, But Muslims seem to have a MUCH more less likely chance of insulting other religions because respect for all the Prophets and Messengers of God as well as Religions is commanded and every practicing Muslim knows it I'm sure. They say things straight out of the Qur'an every day 5 times a day so it's really hard for them to insult someone like Jesus (P)

Now I don't know who out of the Muslims point and make fun of Jesus honestly unless they really lack in faith, Because that's basically a major sin.

Atheists don't have a religion by the way, It's simply the lack of faith in a deity and as such they just believe they'll rot in the ground, Sounds exciting. rolleyes

Euuh.... -_-'''''

That's not the point!

...I wasn't going to post in this guild anymore.... stare but the thread intrigued me.

I don't believe that we all worship the same God. Culture, traditions, and time create different worships. And the culture influences the Nature of God. Yup. Influences the nature of God. Why? because We are human, we need descriptions; analogies, metaphors, to be able to relate to something so that we can come closer to it. We as humans, can't understand, can't really relate to God, so we create our own constructs of God so to better come to know and love him. That God, the one that these three religions out of many claim to have a special connection to Him; is completely different and diverse as the Hindu gods.

Call me close-minded, or whatever, I really don't give a damn. From my studies on Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, I see bits of connections....more like shared values than worship of the same God.

Islam's god, Allah is good for Islam, Christianity's God and Trinity concept is good for Christianity, and Judaism's Adonai is good for Judiasm.

Each religion is believes that they're worshiping the right God or God in the right way, and for some sects, they believe that the other worship of God is okay, just that theirs is the most direct route to Heaven, and still others deny the validity of other religions being great in getting into heaven.

Reincarnation doesn't make sense to me at all, If reincarnation were true than how come the population of the world is either increasing or decreasing by the billions? It'd stay the same if we all just came back as newborns after death.

Regardless even if Muslims make fun of the Christian Jesus, It's still forbidden either way, If anything, Mocking and making fun of Prophets of God and not respecting other views is forbidden in Islam. So I'd say those Muslims have strayed pretty far to reach that point.

Atheism as I see it is not much of a belief, Just lack of the belief in a deity of any shape/form/system. Etc. What is there for Atheists to believe? Besides Morals and values of the world anyway.

Where did I say Atheists don't have morals or values, Or that they don't exist? I simply said that that's about all they have to "believe" in their own view, Since the whole idea of God is obviously rejected and they rely on clear proof facts, Having no faith except in Morals and what not.

Yes I know mocking and what not occurs on every part of the world, Christians mock Muslims (By the way, Christians aren't permitted to make fun of others correct? I recall something being said by paul that stated something on this issue.), And Muslims who don't obey their own religion mock other religions or people by racism or religious discrimination, It's been going on since the religions originated so it's not much of a surprise it's still here. I've also already heard of the burning of churches in the middle east, Not really that different from The Spanish Inquisition turning a mosque into a church honestly.

And My religion didn't have much to do with me not understanding reincarnation, It's just that I would think that being reborn in whatever creature or person wouldn't necessarily be possible because of how the Human population sky-rocketed not too long ago to some 6 billion. I would come to think if Reincarnation was true then Humans wouldn't have inhabited the earth as quickly as they did.
