buddhism also doesnt depict any image of god. i think ppl make him into a human so that they can relate to him better. easier to talk to that way right?
that's not ignorance, that's faith. Don't christians think if you don't pray to their god, then the others are all going to hell as well? What is the difference? it"s not ignorance it's faith. Christians tell me i'm going to hell all the time, how isn't that ignorant? I think all religions are, if we go by that interpretation.
They say there is no god but allah, yes. They aren't saying allah doesn't mean god, it's faulted becasue of translation. It means there is no god but god, yes, but that doesn't mean they are saying allah is not meaning "god". They directly call their god allah, in their language. So why when going to english would they switch to the word god? Sure you could, but i don't think there'd be enough reason to. So they use the english term in the translated version, but it might say something like "there is no allah but allah", or wahtever it is in its original context...that was all guesswork. But they are just addressing all gods in general, and allah is the only one they say exists. Simple as that.
