Well you see, that's not true so I wouldn't have to make that choice. That's the false teaching that tells people that there are many paths leading to Heaven but Jesus said...
... "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6
Now if it was some other actual truth, I would take it to the Lord in prayer.
What a Friend We Have in Jesus
http://www.hymnsite.com/lyrics/umh526.sht
Text: Joseph M. Scriven, 1820-1886
Music: Charles C. Converse, 1832-1918
1.What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer.
2.Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
3.Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he'll take and shield thee;
thou wilt find a solace there.

I already think they are !! there are different names because of their origins, and I think it's a beautiful truth. The ugly part comes in when you think about all the ways the followers have treated each others over the centuries. We are taught God is everywhere & everything, God is ! I just hope I'm there to see it when we figure it out. I've always had a problem with the idea that the almighty is an old guy with a long white beard sitting on a throne in heaven!!!!!!!!! it's a very childish image. God is, we are just a atom in the body that IS, together we form the WHOLE.
I didn't mean to go on, sorry, just happens to be what I believe.

This is not possible with the combination of entities and people you mentioned... Allah and Jehovah are God just different names and the religions that come from this God are related- they are half brothers-Abraham's God said He would be with both of his children-Isaac and Ishmael.
Jesus is a person although He is also a part of a Triune God and who came to earth but is not worshiped as God by either Islam (acknowledges Him as a prophet) or Judaism-will not mention His name. (He can heal and save you from both and all)
Buddha is a person who denied the importance of God or gods and goddesses he is in the category of humankind no deity at all either claimed by or ascribed to him.
Krishna is the 8th avatar of Vishnu a Hindu god... among the millions there are.
Now the Hindu also claim behind all the "reachable" gods and goddesses there is one "Unknowable" God. This is the only Deity that could be expressed as the "One True God" called Jehovah by His Chosen People, Allah by His protected People and Father by His Adopted people. These three religions have similar roots- the same God, whom He uses for His different purposes. Same as you and me. There is a seed of truth in all religions although just because there is a seed does not mean anyone has the full scope of His Plan. For example most if not all indigenous religions have a "flood legend" roots are obscured but it's all still there in the deep consciousness of true history

Um, Buddha definitely isn't Jesus, you're referring to two physical people there, not even spirits. But there is only one God, and he chose Israel for his people, and since Allah says to kill Israel, he's not the same God as Jesus, who is one and the same with God.

I wouldnt have a negative reaction if thats what you mean.In fact it would not supprise me because God is the creator of us all-and we all,as for as races and culture is concerned,may have to relate to us differently to communicate to All of us.

if...
these religions claim, not just different images, but different foundations that contradict each other.
Like claiming you're all different races with six different mothers. Highly not possible.

I would be surprised, especially since Buddhism is non-theistic.
