If you believe in God, you have chosen to reject Allah, Vishnu, Budda, Waheguru and all of the thousands of other gods that other people worship today. It is quite likely that you rejected these other gods without ever looking into their religions or reading their books.

Wow, great point.

"It is an interesting and demonstrable fact, that all children are atheists and were religion not inculcated into their minds, they would remain so." - Ernestine Rose

Answer 3

Allah in Arabic means the only true God. Al Elah = the God.
so God or Allah it's the same, But Budda, Jesus, ... are gods, meaning that people took thes people for God.
the message of Islam is <>
and this same God is the God of all mankind, all prophets.
He is the creator, nothing is like him, he is the most powerful, the guide, the just, the most wise, the merciful, the compassionate....

I think there is 1.8 billions muslim in the world from every nation, different colors languages....
the fastest grwoing religion in the world. < Muhammad is the prophet of God, the Quran is more than 1400 years old, one version, one language, never touched by man hands = no deletion, no addition, no misconceptions, no mysteries....it's a miracle for all mankind.> the Quran is reachable in it's original form. nobody wrote it, it'is not a narration from different people. it is a Recitation << God give the words to the Angel Gabriel who brought them to the prophet Muhammad who couldn't read or write, so Muhammad just recited what he heard to people, so people recited it also. That way it was difficult for people to invent or add delete words from it.>>
That way it was revealed and that way it is right now and that way it will still until the end of time., God's word never change >> meaning he promised that whatever people will change in the words of God from Adam until the coming of Muhammad, He will send prophet after prophet to correct people's belief, and his words will be heard all the time.
The Quran is the last words of God that he will protect as he says it in the Quran until the end of time.
He says also, if you can produce one chapter, verses or less just produce it if you can. and call for devils to help you for that also.
Nobody did

Answer 4

You absolutely right. I did not study or look at other religions very much nor do I care to. Once you have tasted the love of God you reject all religion. Forget about religion. Develop a "Relationship" with God Almighty through the Blood of Jesus Christ. Nothing better in this universe and no downside.

Answer 5

Yes, it makes sense to me.

Each religion thinks it is the only way. Each is wrong. You may have read the Sufi parable of the six blind men and the elephant; it says it better than I can.

Most people look upon religion the way they do their ethnicity; something they grow up with.

If you live in the USA, you could ask yourself how many times you've eaten in, for instance, an Ethiopian restaurant, versus how many times you've eaten in Denny's or McDonald's. That is mundane example, probably true for you, of how people stick to the familiar.

Answer 6

But there is only one God and he did not create religion man done that
God made this Universe and this Earth he created us and Jesus loves all of us ,Just as there is one God there also is one Bible which is the word of God

May God bless you

Answer 7

I reject opinions, my personal relationship with the God of my understanding supercedes all religion.

Answer 8

I belive in God and in the bible (His book) He says that He is the Alfah and Omaga, the King of kings, and the Lord of lords.
I dont need to read another book to see if God is right. I belive what He says.
And that is that!!!

Answer 9

I believe in the Divine. I also believe the Divine speaks to people in the way they can best understand, that will not always be the same for all people.

I reject no Gods.

Answer 10

It all makes sense except the comment at the end.

However I think I know what you mean. I have studied many religions in university, and eventually went with the one that performed miracles for me. G-d knew I was stubborn!

I actually helped convert my parents, they saw my joy. It was not inhereted.

Blessings,
