why do so many monotheistic nations argue and go to war over this issue? if group a believes in a higher power who created everything and group b believes in a higher power who created everything, should it matter what we call this higher power? isn't it likely that if there is a god both groups are worshipping the same god? and if it is the same god, why hasn't he stepped in and done something about it, not so much physically stopping the people, which would take away their free will, but just revealing himself to all these believers and saying, "hey, you all are fighting over the same god!!! please stop!!!"

You see the problem is, when Adam and Eve sined in the garden God said that Man would never again walk with God on this earth. It is very possible that God has given signs that people have missed, but he will not, (that is much different that can not) WILL not show himself, because man sins. This war over the same God, its not a war over gods it is a war over who is right and who is wrong.

Because people think they know better than God.

Don't you get it? Whatever side you're on, your god is real, the other guy's isn't. Simple as that.
