Because people are many many. Too many to agree on one God.

Great Man,
It amazes me, that people take the plethora of man made religions for granted, as if they were normal. There is indeed, only One God, who is the Creator of all. Religion, is the pathetic attempts of men, to capitalize on God's love of mankind. Jesus came to this world, to bring us a message, both simple and elegant: "The Kingdom of God is within you". It was never God's will, that we should divide ourselves up into sectarian camps, and proceed to kill each other over our theological differences. That is the work of men, and of the devil. The true faith, of spiritual rebirth, is the path that all of God's messengers have come to bring us to. The Spirit of God, unifies men in the bonds of brotherly love, and dispells the clouds of ignorance, which so often attend the religions of men. One day, all of those who have invited God's Spirit into their lives, and received the Divine Nature, which is God's gift to us, will come together as one family, under the banner of their Father and God. The silly religions of men, along with the suffering they bring, will not even be remembered.

Because God has given mankind the ability to think for themselves and draw their own conclusions.The thinking human race came up with all kinds of beliefs,ideals and religions.Religion does not come from God,it is a man-made principle.Every human being has a desire to be right,that is why so many religions clash eachother,that is why their has been so many wars in the name of religion.

There is only ONE GOD. Unfortunately, there are many ways of human showing their piety to this ONE GOD. Every one claims their way / religion is the correct one.
Only Jesus the messenger of God will bring humankind to the right path before the armageddon. Those wo is not going with him will be condemned to hell for eternity.

Maybe because mankind wants to make gods in man's image rather than realizing that we are made in God's image. The many religions are from mankind attempting to understand who God is, yet ignoring Him when He tells them.
I believe that God has told us who He is through the Bible which is self consistent and flawless.

Only Christianity....churches are not religions they are just churches that interpret differently......many of the things taught by churches is laws of man not of God.....may have been well intentioned but got lost some where....but the main point is churches are not different religions....ie...Lutheran, Baptist, Catholic, LDS, are Churches.....Christianity, Buddhism, etc. are religions.

1. Tomas de Torquemada (pictured here) - Born in Spain in 1420, his name is synonymous with the Christian Inquisition's horror, religious bigotry, and cruel fanaticism. He was a fan of various forms of torture including foot roasting, use of the garrucha, and suffocation. He was made Grand Inquisitor by Pope Sixtus IV. Popes and kings alike praised his tireless efforts. The number of burnings at the stake during Torquemada's tenure has been estimated at about 2,000. Torquemada's hatred of Jews influenced Ferdinand and Isabella to expel all Jews who had not embraced Christianity.

All other religion has been tampered with human intervention, except Islam.
Islam the only religion, its law and way of life has not been tampred since God reveal it through the beloved prophet Muhammad s.a.w.

Is there just one type of plant, animal, world, etc. God's expression is many, so each soul can express God in many ways.
