Are Allah, Buddha, Mohammad, and Jehovah, etc. all false gods? What makes Christians and the Bible correct, and all the others (and their sacred books) deluded, misled, and incorrect? If Christians are right, then doesn't it stand to reason that all the others are wrong?! I seriously want to know what you folks think!

There is no "one true God". There is no way to objectively determine the truth or falsehood on one faith or another. Also, Buddah and Muhammad were not divine beings. Buddha eventually achieved Enlightenment and ascended to another level (whatever that means), while Mohammad was supposedly Allah's final Prophet...mortal, but a vessel for Allah's Message.
And no, I do not believe that any divine being would be stupid enough to take sides in any mortal dispute. We are on our own, regardless of a divinity or not. As it should be.

yes, yes, no; no, not really, not really, no; truth is what it is; sort of.
The Christian God is the one true God, and is the same God as Allah and Jehovah. Neither Buddha nor Mohammed are considered gods by anyone. Buddha is just an enlightened one, and Mohammed is a prophet. If Christians are right, the others are partly right.

Jehovah is the personal name of almighty God, of which there is ONLY one. [ Exodus 3;13-15 & 6;3]
He is the same God of Abraham, the same one that the Muslims believe in. Islam came from his first son Ishmael [ by Hagar] and his second son was Isaac [ by Abraham's legal wife Sarah, at a very old age, 90's]
Isaac was the start of the Jewish nation.
The Muslim Quran claims that Allah [ God] had no sons.
The Bible claims that Jehovah DID have one son, whom Jehovah sent to earth for us.
Islam claims all benefits will be received in heaven, and apparently on earth birth and death will continue indefinitely. [ I could be wrong on this]
The Bible claims an end to wickedness on the earth, and an end to death and sickness for those on the earth. Revelation 21;4.
And God is certainly NOT on the side of any nation that carries on warfare, for any reason.

Mohammed is not god He is just messenger of Allah. As far as I know Buddha is also a man . According to Islamic belief Allah is the only one the other names you have told also God . But the belief has been corrupted and as a Muslim I believe Bible is a holy book of Allah but as I said it had changed by Humanity. In Iznik/turkey a council assemled and publish four versions of Bible I wonder who gave right to change to them ?

Budda, Allah, and Vishnu do not say that they created life, the universe or you and i. Christianity for all its flaws (organized religion and the historical bloodshed in the name of God) is the path to God. I dont want anyone to read this and beat thier chest about america. The patriot act and all this "nationalism" will not be accepted in heaven, it is not from God and God will not find it even close to tolerable or acceptable. The true church is not "american" its just that this country is christian in its foundation and therefore grafted onto the jewish root.

As one of Jehovah's Witnesses I know in my heart of hearts that I am correctly worshiping the only true God, I would hope anyone who is of a chosen faith would feel the same way. I also know that Jehovah does not favor anyone nation over another. It is for this very reason that we Jehovah's Witnesses preach to people of any nationality.

Absolutely not.
If God really wanted there to be only one true religion, there would only be one religion.
If God really put all of his thoughts into just one book, he could make himself fully and completely understood by EVERY single person on this planet... No room for interpretation, no room for error, the book would be crystal clear and everybody would agree with it.
The very fact that everyone is still arguing about it proves that there is no one true religion to the exclusion of all others. If God wanted everybody to be Christian, everybody would be.

"jehovah" is the god of the Jews and the Christians. He is the Father of Jesus (although Jews generally don't accept that.) He is the One True God. All others are false. He is not on America's side in any conflict but He is on Israel's side.
Edit: I disagree with those above me because Jesus said that "He who has Me, has the Father. He who does not have Me does not have the Father."

There is only one God even though people believe/know or not.
Christians have already found this one God. Others are yet to realise.
God is always on the godly side.
So we/you cannot compare God or His acts to our/your stupid thoughts and acts.
Anyway I will pray to God for give you some hair on your head.

The existence (or non-existence) of god cannot be established by evidence. It follows that any belief can have no consequences (although actions taken in pursuit of such beliefs obviously can). Thus, there is no reason to believe in a Christian god, or any other.
