Do you think that Allah, Budah, God (Jewish and Christan), ..... are all seperate beings with different rules or the same spiritual force humanized and given a name we feel more comfortable calling it?
why do so many christan religions have different bibles and different ways of interpreting it?

I believe there is one creator just different names. I also believe there are so many interpretations of the bible because they are changed to control people. The real meaning of the bible has been lost. The truest words I think are the ten commandments.

Allah, the Jewish God, and the Christian God may all be the same entity. But I believe that not all Christians (or Jews or Muslims) all follow the same god.
Budah is not a god at all. According to Buddism he is a man who attained enlightenmet and escaped for the cycle of rebirth. He is a reveared figure to some but anyone who calls him a god dosen't know what they are talking about.
There are so many different bible because translating something from an old language to a modern on isn't easy. People can't agree on what every word means. Plus the temptation to add or remove things over 2000 years is quite strong.

While the words of Bibles can be different, the subject is the same. Interpretation is the same, translation is different. These are two separate things.
Christianity is exclusionary, so we do not believe that any God exists but the one God, who is three persons in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
The laws and facts laid out in Hindiusm, Islam, and Christianity are contradictory so it is not possible for them to be simultaneously correct and these just be the same "spiritual force". I encourage you to study them all and seek the truth for yourself.

You may be right in that there seems to be a "spirituality need" across all human cultures. It is, however, VERY general and certainly not monotheistic, or "scriptural" by nature.
A particular manifestation. a "religion" itself, evolves, or disappears, as other forces act on it, e.g., the politics of conquest. THAT is the long and short of the differences.
Some of us believe religion arises out of a human coping strategy. The details of one approach are referenced below. I'll be glad to respond to individual questions (e-mail) on how this work is developing

There is only one bible and the ones who have different bibles are cults. God said that his word is not to be added too or taken away from. The holy bible has been around for over 2000 years and never changed. It has been put into modern english but not added to or take away from. Budda was a ( priest or monk so to speak in China) he is not a God. Allah is the muslin word for GOD.

'Spiritual forces' can be seen as the one in each of us. We are all spiritual beings seeking our level of understanding of the spirit and God.
Churches and bibles are another story...some are not even spiritual. Religion is a manmade concept to control other people with rules. There is little difference between them except in application of their rules.

There are only 2 spiritual forces in this world.
Good and evil. God is ominpotent, omnipresent,
and omniscient, if we do our part in searching
deligently for the truth, then He will guide us into
all truth and the truth will set you free.
"And ye shall seek me, and find me,
when ye shall SEARCH for me with all your heart."

Jews, Muslims and Christians all believe in the same god, although looking at their conduct at times, it's difficult to believe that, but it's true.

I visualize them all as different, but I don't know of any of them exist.
