one god?
this is my theory ~
i've been thinking...maib there isn't a "right" or "wrong" religion cuz maib there's one god. pplz alwaize interpret things differently. is it not possible that God (i'm catholic btw) appeared to many different pplz all over the world and they all saw him differently and so interpreted Him differently so there are so many different religions?
i am Catholic, which means i am Christian. as every1 noez, christians hav interpreted the original Bible differently and there are many branches of Christianity - Lutherans, Methodists, Presbyterians, Baptists, etc etc etc there are hundreds!! if christians - pplz originating from one source and sharing the same cultures, backgrounds, etc - cud interpret their own Bible - one Book - differently, i find it highly possible that pplz of diff ethnicities and cultures cud interpret God differently.
for instance - there is a VERY strong resemblance between Christianity and Islam, isn't there? there Holy Books are pretti much the same, and Allah is Arabic for God. there obviously is a stronger resemblance between Christianity and other religions wit one god, but how bout polytheism?
Hinduism and the ancient Greek, Roman, and Egyptian religions all have many deities. however, they all had one main, central god. true, christianity onli has one god, but for catholocism, there are the saints, which we also pray to....and - for the ancient Greek gods, there were 12 gods on mt Olympus rite? didn't Jesus hav 12 disciples?
realli...maib it's onli the way we interpret god's HELPERS. we mite think of them as saints, othr minor gods, etc. i onli see 2 main differences; the one i stated above, and the othr may be that pplz dun think Jesus is the son of god. I do of course, but in othr religions he is a prophet...
soo...i've noticed alotta things...i dunno maib i just think too much and this all means absolutely nothing :/ but we won't realli noe till we die rite? i hope at least some of that made sense :(

i have heard a "theory" (i guess u can call it a theory..) of wat u just said...
in the Old testament of the Holy Bible in the book of Genesis, it talked about Sarah and Abraham not being able to have a son. But God promised Sarah dat she will indeed give birth to a son. She laughed at the thought since she is very old and barren. but she went ahead and told her egyptian maid to sleep wit Abraham so dat he wld have a son. true enuff, the maid gave birth to a son. but dat son wasnt part of God's plan. when Sarah was 90 years old, she became pregnant. she was surprised becuz she was so old. but she gave birth to a son and God told her to name him Isaac.
since the maid's son wasnt part of God's "plan," there has been rivalry between him and Isaac. (i got the maid's son's name =T) when sarah kicked the maid out (due to jealousy), the maid traveled to wat is now the middle east. sarah had taught the maid about God, and the maid continued to worship God.
well to make a long story short, the maid's religion is today known as Islam. dat is y the palenstinians and the isreali's had been fighting ever since u cld remember. they've been fighting since centuries ago. the palenstinians represent the maid's son's side (i gues u cld put it dat way..) and the isreali's rep. Isaac's side.
make sense? dats wat i heard..

man, i love to talk about things like this. first off, yes, im sure there are lots of similarities between religions, but then again there are lots of dissimilarities as well.
someone once told me
lots of religions state, do this, and u go to heaven. be good, do good works blah blah blah. but christianity is the only religion that states "its all done already" which it is. becuase Jesus already died for us.
also, some catholics (not all) believe that without mary, there would be no Jesus Christ, which is so much BS. if u dont know why, IM me and ill explain it to u.
Muslims kill people, why? because they misinterpret the statement "Die for God, go to heaven" which is true.
but that doesnt mean go out and suicide and kill dozens of innocent people. its a sin to take your own life. man, i can go on with this...but im getting tired...if u wanna debate, IM me ^^.
