I believe we DON'T all worship the same God. I'm Christian and I believe that Jesus Christ, who was crucified for world's sins is the true God. To say we all worship the same God, but in different ways/names would makes Jesus' sacrifice totally UNECESSARY. Therefore I stand with my belief that my God may not be your God. Wut do u think>?

No. I'm into ancient Germanic dieties, like Heimdal, Thor, Holde, and Frejya. I think that the human spirit is universal and that no one religious view is better than any others. The important thing is to try to be loving, generous, humble, humorous, and compasionate towards yourself and your fellow humans. I was raised Christian, but I now dont believe that there is One True Faith that is the only path to salvation and that all others lead to Damnation. I have noticed that Christianity and Islam are just about the only religions that make this claim. I cannot accept that out of all of the religious expressions on the planet only one or two are the Right Path. Because of this view I have rejected theology from the Middle East.

Thomas Merton, a Christian writer and monk who lived in the twentieth century said that God could not be defined in any terms that make sense to humans. God is too big for language, or our definitions.
These things are matters of faith. All we can do is tell the stories about Jesus, and let the Spirit work in that other person to convince them of the truth of God. It's not something that can be proven through logic or evidence.

You know, you are probably right. People may see God in a different way than you, so maybe you aren't believing in the same God. However, I would also like to state that if everyone believed in the same thing, life would be simple and harmonious, but also quite a bore.

Religions are glorified cults.
Jesus was born a human man and died a human man.
If there is one true god (and I believe there is) - we have not yet discovered what it is because it is something we cannot know until our souls have left our bodies.
To me, god is everything - the entire universe and everything it. God is the creative force behind all life and death. God is not a man nor a being of any type. God is life and and all the ideas surrounding it. God is death and the hereafter. God is the light and the darkness.
God is what you make of it.

The veil of substance and worldliness is drawn across the reality of Truth. All people are created by God. He created them, gave them life, and provided them with the ability to know, love and to worship God.
"The religious dissension between the Catholics and Protestants has caused a deluge of bloodshed. Has this any bearing on the statement of Christ when he addressed Peter: "Put thy sword into the scabbard"? When we hold fast to the foundation of religion, differences will disappear."
(Abdu'l-Baha, Divine Philosophy, p. 157)

Actually, you can trace the origins of religion through the history of the world. I do think that every civilization has and does worship the same deities, they just use different names.
Whatever you believe is right for you, but whatever is right for someone else, is their right as well.
It is through our diversity that we grow and learn as a global culture. If we were all the same, how would we ever learn anything different and thereby grow as a race?

Some people's "god" is really the god of this world and not the God of Heaven.
2 Corinthians 4:3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled only to those who are perishing. 4 In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 5 For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Interesting how your “true God” died. How long was he dead for, a second, minute, hour, day, week, longer? Who was running the universe while he was dead?
I’m afraid your god is not my god. I have gods, and lots of ‘em, and none of them can ever die like your one did.
PS. Jesus was not a sacrifice, and it’s completely unnecessary, that’s why he never taught any such thing (human sacrifice is primitivism and his father never asked for it, Yahweh did).
