[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many posts stating that people should face reality, there are no gods or God.

This is not a settled question.

Whomever posts this is stating their opinion, which if correctly stated, they personally don’t believe in gods or a God.

They claim something that no one really knows.

So if you don’t believe in gods or a God, great, that’s your opinion.

But other people do believe in a higher power, gods, a God, or God. Their belief is just as valid and acceptable as not believing.[/quote]

No, your opinion that Gods exist is not &quot;as valid and acceptable as not believing&quot; unless you apply that same standard to belief in fairies and Santa Claus.   They, like God, are invisible beings, that all kids grow out of before adulthood.  Also, I bet you only believe in one of the Gods that are out there -- say the Christian God and not the Muslim God.  How can that be?[/quote]

The Christian God and the Muslim God are the same God (Abrahamic God). If you’re going to try and make a point, at least get your facts right. [/quote]

Did the Christian god dictate the Quran to Mohammed? If so, Christians are in big trouble for not following the rules. 
[/quote]

Actually they are all the same rules every time. It’s just that people keep misinterpreting them.[/quote]

But did the Christian god dictate the Quran to Mohammed? Or do the Christians have a different story/different god? 
[/quote]

Same original God. What’s so difficult for you to understand? You clearly aren’t religious, so why are you contributing?[/quote]

Let me rephrase since you are struggling:

Do Christians believe that their god dictated the Quran to Mohammed?

[/quote]

NP here. You seem to be confused, because you have asked two different questions. Whether Christians believe their God dictated the Quran is a different question than if the Christian God and Muslim God are the same. The God of Christianity and Islam is the God of Abraham, as PP pointed out. Same God. In contrast, the God of Abraham is not the same as Vishnu (as an example). Different   gods. No one is saying Christians believe God dictated the Quran ([b]they don’t[/b]), but it’s not the gotcha question you seem to think it is. It’s an entirely different question. Christians and Muslims believe different things about their deity, but the deity in both religions is from the same, singular origin. See the difference? [/quote]

So the Christian version of &quot;god&quot; is significantly different than the Muslim god. Just like it's different from the god that Jewish people worship. Do Jewish people think that god had a son? No.

They may have originated from the same OG story, but their versions are very different. Not the same stories. Not the same beliefs. Not the same gods.

1.0 &lt;&gt; 2.0 &lt;&gt; 3.0

The supernatural entity that christians believe to be &quot;god&quot; is very different than the supernatural entities that muslim or jewish people believe exist. It's like the multiverse.  :lol:

Spoiler: A &quot;god&quot; IS the belief, not an actual entity. 
[/quote]

You’re hinging your point on the wrong thing. Same original God. Different beliefs about that God. You are saying the same things as the above PPs but then reaching a different conclusion. Your logic isn’t sound. [/quote]

Gods exist as beliefs in people’s minds. If a critical mass of people significantly change those beliefs then their “god” has morphed into something new that the OG believers no longer recognize as their own. It becomes a new, different version.

Do Jewish people believe that their god knocked up a virgin? No, their picture of what god says and does is different.

The beliefs are the god. Different beliefs, different god.
