Well people are screwed up so even if we all had the same religion we would criticize the way the people around us are practicing. People need something in there life to fight against so if we all had the same religion i think we would be a bit more peaceful but we would live like we were in tribes separated from other people that practice are religion a different way

Yes, there is only one God above all in heaven and on earth, but people have a very partial understanding of God, of life on earth, of what is true and what is not, of each other, of higher beings, of ancient history, of mistakes by founders of religious groups.\n\nWe can all learn from the true, good and beautiful things other groups may have.  But that is two ways, not one way, meaning every group needs to do it.\n\nWe are all children of God.  He does not feel great at all when someone says He is great while slitting the throat of one of his children.\n\nThe garden will be weeded soon; if we fail to solve this matter ourselves that will help.\n\nBut we should fight less over differences.  God wants unity, not uniformity.\n\nGod does not have one flower, one book, one world, one universe.  God conducts an infinitely diverse and majestic symphony of light and life progressing continually into further truth, goodness and beauty.\n\nIndividual earthlings can participate in that if they do not allow themselves to be taken astray by those who wish to fight in behalf of ignorance or partial truth.\n\nReal truth needs no defense.

Because religion has something to do with the after life, heaven and hell and things of that sort!!! So you better be right about your believes or else there might be some serious eternal problems ,lol\nThere can't be different right faiths!! Only in this matter it is either right or wrong!!\nAnd if you are right others must be wrong!!!!!!!!!!!  or else it is you who will be wrong!!!and no one wants to be wrong .... cuz this will determine their final destination!! \nWe can't jeopardize  this matter!!\nWhat if your God is not the true God who owns the judgment day?!!! Who will judge you?? Some one you didn't believe in I guess!!!!! Here is where the problems come from ,lol\nbut this is only regarding the afterlife, but in our present life we must all co-exist in peace and respect the freedom of belief, believe me it is optional, if God wanted us all to follow one religion i bet he would have done it!!

No.  God is One in three distinct.personalities.  I know this is hard to wrap your brain around, but it is.\n\nTry the study titled "Is God one or three?" link below.

To believe in one God doesn't mean it should become a part of any religion or the "Creator" meant in each religion is not the same.\nMost of people think that their religion is the right one only because of their FANATICISM to their own faith. and most of them so intolerant to the other religions is only because of their EGO. That is a human characteristic.\n\nI came from Arabian family, my father,a Palestinian is Christian and my mom, a Lebanese is Moslem but we live so tolerant and respect to the difference of our faith. We belive that we pray to the only one same GOD, the creator of this universe.

Because they believe in different ideas of the same God.

A very good question.\nThere are several questions within your one. \nI believe: ( through research and not belonging to any one religion)\n\nReligions define God by a name which is inherent in the human mind to tag something to understand it( tree, dog, human).  With the understanding of infinite thought and probabilities the One religions refer to is the same God.  The Source.  The source of light, dark and all existence.  This is one entity or energy.  \n\nThe paths we as humans choose to find this source is our differing religions each with their merits and flaws.  We seek the same source.  Eventually. \n\nThe Source is no 'man' or 'woman' sitting on a throne being wise, judge mental and all knowing it (It) is simply everything.  That was, will be, is or may be.  It is the fabric which which binds everything.  Before man began to categories or define it.\n\nThe second question within yours hints at the 'prophets' question of the being the only way to the Source. Jesus, Mohamed, Quetzalcoatl, Buddha etc. (note we are speaking only of the prophets of Light) each proclaim that their way is their path God. The ultimate source.\n\nHumans are different in their perceptions of everything so it is reasonable that God would have conceived of different paths to reach the One, ie enlightenment.

God is one because God is the Best !\nHe can not be more than one because he is bachelor.

"So many religions": that just proves that Man's underlying need for religion is pretty common. Feelings of vulnerability, purposelessness, loneliness, and a need to belong are probably a universal part of the human condition. So Man created God (in his own image) to compensate for these shortcomings. \nWhich doesn't necessarily mean that Christians have got it all wrong, just soem of it!\nAnd no, they are not all Devil Worshippers. Only the Devil Worshippers are!

As a Christian, I believe that there are no religions (other than Christianity) are of God.  Any religion that is not of God is leading people away from God.  There is no good in it.

I think it is an excellent theory.  While many different religions may call their god (and goddess) by different names, I think in the end we are all worshipping the same god.  We all just have different ways of worship.  God/dess is not confused - the Divine knows we are speaking to it and loves us all the same.

There were many religions before Christianity. Judaism is one, just the Old Testament. Other religions have multiple Gods and Goddesses. Some have none. Christianity is not the only and not the first and maybe not even the right religion.

I believe there are differences in religions because otherwise we wouldnt have so many problems affeecting mankind today....religion is about serving the grand creator....worship that is pure and is based on the principles from the bible and not mans thinking....religions today do not live by bible principles

It's kind of a new concept, but folks have been trying to reconcile the different 'versions' of religions for years.\n\nGod is not 'one' with the universe. He's the creator, everything else is the created.\n\nGod is 'One', 3 persons, - one god head.\n\nThe only human person to come to earth as God, - is Jesus. Others may not have even made this claim, - but his followers may have exalted, him to that status.\n\nAnd no, God the Father did not appear as these other forms. If another religious icon, aligned correctly with Bible teachings, -then great. I still give credit to the original author, - ie God of the Hebrews.

If religion makes people fear god and do good, then its fine. but if it divides ppl, then we dont need religion. My take is that all religions lead to one god who is one and the same the diff been that we call him by diff names but he is one and the same. But somehow I guess we would have been well off without religions..as they have now become means to divide ppl

God? What is your definition of God? Mine is a divine God, one that created the world.. you, me.. all that... and then I believe he sent His Son to die on the cross for us. So I don't think thats in all of us? Do you? Because there is only ONE God.. He knows everything... Can do anYHTING... and we don't understand cause we're only human beings.
