I wouldn't exactly say that God is one. I would prefer to say that God is universal. And the differences between the various religions is the way the prophecies were interpreted. The wise men interpreting the prophecies, interpreted them so that they could better relate to the individual's culture and history. I don't believe there is just one path to heaven/nirvana/enlightenment, but rather many. Each religion has created it's own guide, so there is no double standard, just different views on how to best reach the destination.

There is a test you can do to see if a God actually is real or is worthy of worship. Pray, and ask the God in question to provide you with a clear proof for his/her existence within a week. After that week, if you have got a proof that that particular God exists, send me the evidence. If not, there are only three reasons I can think of that are plausible: (1) The God does not exist, (2) The God does not want to response for whatever reason or (3) The God can't give you this evidence because it's not powerful enough. Because of the ontological evidence, alternative (2) and (3) are not worth your worship and thus they equal alternative (1). So if you get no response the God in question isn't real.
Oh and don't forget there's a lot more Gods then just the Christian, Muslim and Hindu.

The Hindu belief is that God is everything around you, and everyone is seeing the same God, but through a different way. There is a different path to every city, and in the same way, there is a different way to God.
Double standards are not necessary, unless you want to prove to yourself that all religions are correct.
Every religion is correct. There is no "wrong" religion. Saying that your own religion is the "correct" on is like saying that it is "wrong" to be of a different nationality than you.

To everyone the God of his religion is supreme.But Hindus understand and accept other Gods too.

The real God is the one that you believe in. It doesn't matter which one that is. All Gods are directly from the imagination of people attempting to cheat the grave.
God did not make people. It's the other way around.

Ok ... to the Christians it is God,
to the Muslims it is Allah.
God of the Bible said not to have any other gods before Him, so if you read that literally?
Then, they are ALL REAL, but only One is above all.
I guess it really depends upon whom you ask this to.
Each individual will tell you it is their god that is real, when in fact, the scriptures even seems to say God recognizes other gods as real to the people who believe in them. Maybe their beleif makes them real to them, or maybe it's more complicated than anyone can really explain.

The real God is Jehovah, who is the God of the Bible, although most Bible's written today, have expunged his name from the Bible. Giving many reasons for doing so, the Jewish faith does not use his name any longer, because they say it is either too powerful, too holy and should therefore not be used. I believe they stopped using his name for so long they no longer remember it. Some people say Yawyeh, WHJH, The name used in the old testament or Hebrew scriptures, is symbol called the Tetragrammaton, which is pronounced Jehovah which is the most common translation of the symbol.

The only TRUE GOD is HIM who goes on creating and doesn't go on COUNTING SCORES of what his creations are doing on this Universe.
He is a the one who LOVES EQUALLY both the GOODS and the BADS done by his Childrens, and FORGIVES them again and again and again without condemning them to HELL, or PUNISHING them.
If SOMEONE prossesed the above power of creations and mercy then HE...weather he is Allah, Jesus, Bhagwaan or what so ever...is FIT to be setup within the defination of GOD in my view.

The Rishis (seers of truth) inquire within themselves:
What is the cause of this universe? Is it Brahman (the Supreme Reality)? Whence do we come? Why do we live? Where shall we at last find rest? Under whose command are we bound by the law of happiness and its opposite?
Time, space, law, chance, matter, primal energy, intelligence- none of these, nor a combination of these, can be the final cause of the universe, for they are effects, and exist to serve the soul. Nor can the individual soul be the cause, for being subject to the law of happiness and misery, it is not free.
The Rishis (seers of truth), absorbed in meditation, saw within themselves the ultimate Reality, the self-luminous Being, the one God, who dwells as the self-conscious power in all creatures. He is one without a second. Deep within all beings He dwells, hidden from sight by the coverings of the gunas – sattwa, Rajas, and Tamas. He presides over time, space, and all apparent causes.
Like oil in sesame seeds, butter in cream, water in the river-bed, fire in the tinder, the Self dwells within the soul. Realise Him through truthfulness and meditation.
Like butter in cream is the Self in everything. Knowledge of the Self is gained through meditation. The Self is Brahman (Supreme Reality). By Brahman is all ignorance destroyed.
Fire, though present in the firestick, is not perceived until one stick is rubbed against another. The Self is like that fire; it is realised in the body by meditation on the sacred syllable OM (AUM).
Let your body be the stick that is rubbed, the sacred syllable OM the stick that is rubbed against it. Thus shall you realise God, who is hidden within the body as fire is hidden within the wood.
He who is realised by transcending the world of cause and effect, in deep contemplation, is expressly declared by the scriptures to be the Supreme Brahman. He is the substance, all else the shadow. He is the imperishable.
The knowers of Brahman know Him as the one reality behind all that seems. For this reason they are devoted to Him. Absorbed in Him, they attain freedom from the wheel of birth, death and rebirth.
Matter is perishable. The Lord, the destroyer of ignorance, is imperishable, immortal. He is the one God, the Lord of the perishable and of all souls. By meditating in Him, by uniting oneself with Him, one ceases to be ignorant.
Know God, and all fetters will be loosed. Ignorance will vanish. Birth, death and rebirth will be no more. Meditate upon Him and transcend physical consciousness. Thus will you reach union with the Lord of the universe. But you must know this. Nothing further is there to know. Meditate, and you will realise that mind, matter, and Maya (the power that unites mind and matter) are but three aspects of Brahman, the one Reality.
