does god exists!! if he exists then y so many religions?common sense says that there should be just one god?

Answer 1

Most people agree that there is only one God. The different religions are not about which God, but which WAY to worship and serve Him.

Answer 2

I do think there is only one God and the religions of the world call Him by different names. I realize this may upset people, but that is not my intent. Imagine if the world was divided into just believers and non believers. There would be no Christians, Jews, Muslims, etc. There would be no wars with differences of religion at their core, there would just be a huge group of people praying to God all the time. What does it really matter how you pray, or what you call the Being you pray to? If everyone only worried about their own faith and actions the world would be a much better place. When you look at the basics, all faiths pray to a Being of some sort, so why not just leave it at that rather than all the "I'm right, you're wrong" crap that is destroying the planet?

Answer 3

If you are called differently by different people or relatives you are not going to get multiplied in number. Different religions have different ways of finding solace in different names or forms of God, but it is not going to mean that there are plenty of Gods around! Some people name the different Powers of God differently and worship, which ultimately reaches the same God It is foolishness to fight for the name or for the way God is worshipped.

Answer 4

Ever since the dawn of mankind, around 40,000 years ago, when God revealed the possiblity of his existence to mankind by giving humans a powerful imagination, people have wondered about their origins. Where did we come from? Who created us? Over the centuries, to answer these very basic questions, our storytellers have invented many myths, stories and dogmas. Religions are simply the outgrowth of these ancient myths and dogmas handed down from generation to generation and formalized into faiths, rituals and traditions.

Answer 5

Yes, God does exists. If you didn't know, God didn't create these many religions. Humans created them. there is only one God, but he is called by different names.

Answer 6

Yes God does exist. There is one God which is in heaven. Men have created religions.

Answer 7

Ther is only one God.But people from different beliefs and community worship different gods. In ancient time when man saw fire he worshipped it out of fear. When he saw the rain, thunder and lighting he began to worship it too. He begane to worship all the CREATIONS instead of worshipping the CREATOR. That is how so many religions came into the world. But God is the Creator and, Savior, and He is Jesus Christ.

Answer 8

there is but ONE GOD. you must look at the differences in our human existence for a logical answer. there are four basic races of mankind black white red and yellow. these four races have developed over the eons of time into many different cultures and societies and are still developing more today. therefore each culture and society have developed numberless different ways to explain the existence of and pay homage to GOD as their culture and society dictate. when there are some in the culture or society who become unhappy and/or discontented with the established religion they may develop an offshoot of the established religion creating a new one. this process continues until numberless religions come into existence.

Answer 9

There are different religions because there exists a Master Deceiver who hates God and mankind, and devises creative ways to lead mankind away from the truth. And those who reject the truth have many alternatives to choose from.

Answer 10

Many historians of religion hold that monotheism may be of relatively recent historical origins — although comparison is difficult as many religions claim to be ancient. Native religions of China and India have concepts of panentheistic views of God that are difficult to classify along Western notions of monotheism vs. polytheism.

In the Ancient Orient, many cities had their own local god, although this henotheistic worship of a single god did not imply denial of the existence of other gods. The Hebrew Ark of the Covenant is supposed (by some scholars) to have adapted this practice to a nomadic lifestyle, paving their way for a singular God. Yet, many scholars now believe that it may have been the Zoroastrian religion of the Persian Empire that was the first monotheistic religion, and the Jews were influenced by such notions (this controversy is still being debated)[1].

The innovative cult of the Egyptian solar god Aten was promoted by the pharaoh Akhenaten (Amenophis IV), who ruled between 1358 and 1340 BC. The Aten cult is often cited as the earliest known example of monotheism, and is sometimes claimed to have been a formative influence on early Judaism, due to the presence of Hebrew slaves in Egypt. But even though Akhenaten's hymn to Aten offers strong evidence that Akhenaten considered Aten to be the sole, omnipotent creator, Akhenaten's program to enforce this monotheistic world-view ended with his death; the worship of other gods beside Aten never ceased outside his court, and the older polytheistic religions soon regained precedence.

Other early examples of monotheism include two late rigvedic hymns (10.129,130) to a Panentheistic creator god, Shri Rudram, a Vedic hymn to Rudra, an earlier aspect of Shiva often referred to by the ancient Brahmans as Stiva, a masculine fertility god, which expressed monistic theism, and is still chanted today; the Zoroastrian Ahuramazda and Chinese Shang Ti. The worship of polytheistic gods, on the other hand, is seen by many to predate monotheism, reaching back as far as the Paleolithic. Today, monotheistic religions are dominant in the many parts of the world, though other systems of belief continue to be prevalent.
