Why can't you all just get along and form one new, super religion or something? You all believe in the same god so why can't you just accept that and respect one another?

Yes, I am well aware that I don't believe in god, thank you for whoever pointed that out. I'm only asking this because I remember last year in my history class my teacher saying that Judaism, Islam, and Christianity all worship the same god and this got me to thinking: Why not just create one religion and make Judaism, Islam, and Christianity branches of this one religion?
And yes, these three religions DO have the same god but just have different beliefs aside from this; they aren't group together just because they have one god.
And the main reason I asked this was because I wanted to know what people of these religions thought of this idea and I in no way expect this to ever happen in a million years.

first of all it's not the same god that Jews, Muslims and Christians believe in. If it is the same, then there wouldn't be any separations and differences between religion.
How can we form one whole new religion? religion doesn't come us people. they are delivered by their own messengers by God. we cant just create one, otherwise it would be a fake.
I believe that every individuals has their own opinion about one religion and another. just because one Christians hated Muslim does not mean the whole community have the same opinion. there's too much exposion on using one community to go against another. to break the society apart.
I have friends from all over the world who have different beliefs and we got along very well. we accept and respect other belief, even outside our friendship circles.

Imagine taking your dinner courses and throwing them together in a blender, or even mixing various things like the side dishes of pickles with ice cream dessert. Thing would not be too good unless you were pregnant. These things are not random pieces of goodness but form a independent units - a hamburger, an ice cream dessert, etc.
Non religious folks forget that other people actually believe in their relgion. The basis of your mentioned religions is that God said x - and you do it. You either do or don't listen. The fact that you may not like or understand something doesn't override your foundation of accepting what God said. Picking and choosing undermines the largest factor - listening to God. Since all three have their own independant beliefs they could never merge. Having a similar background doesn't make them indifferent.
To maybe hit things home. Relgions believe in each other like you would believe in religion. If they should merge, you should too.

Becoz Jews Xians and Muslims all believe in ONE God, doesn't mean that they believe in the SAME God. Christians believe that Jesus is the incarnation of God, and of the same nature as God, Muslims think of Him as no more than a very holy man, and to the Jews he is nothing more than a teacher of basic moral values and of little intrinsic importance.
People who are NOT religious (like you I imagine) are always asking for those who ARE, to believe something different, to join up with people who believe things which are different to that which they believe, and so on. That is because to them, all of the stuff is basically nonsense anyway, so they can't see why anyone would want make a big deal of what kind of nonsense they follow.
But for people who DO believe, sincerely and deeply, in some creed, then there is a lot more difficulty in just forming up a one-size suits all super religion "or something". What is that you want to do? Get Jews to admit that Jesus is Lord, or get Christians to go off pork, and pray 5 times a day, and start practising polygamy?
See, already it is harder than you thought.

Actually because Christians believe that Jesus is God's Son (and is God in flesh) and he died for our sins that kinda disqualifies us from being anything else... CHRIST-ians.... Jews believe in God's law and are still waiting for their messiah to come. Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet and all three have many other theological differences. Jews also do not believe in the original sin (Adam and Eve) and therefore really do not need a messiah. It gets really crazy actually the major differences... I will say I witnessed a Jewish Sabbath service and was very fond of those I met (me being Christian) it was different. I have nothing against anyone for any reason no matter what their belief is. In fact I have had many discussions at my old job with Muslims.

We are all just human beings placed on this planet at the same time. When your time is up..and you've done all you can do to make it better...just fade away. No matter what religion you subscribe to..you and I are just a pin point in the evolution of this world. All good things come to an end. I would like to know that when I go out I will have some concern for the future and hopefully make it better. Not with a bomb strapped to my chest and teaching my children to kill.

Excellent question. Some would say, it's not God's will.Some would say that their religion is the only true religion. I believe all religions, or at least most, are misguided if not evil. Religion has caused more wars than anything else.

If that happen there will be another Towel of Babel built to reach Heaven and God will once again did what He did with the first. Man are continuously wicked and evil in all their ways, they just can't help it after the Fall.

Isnt that the one world religion the book of revelations talks about? Why cant we just be tolerant of each others faith? When judgement day comes we will all know the answers.

You see, that is where you are dead wrong. Jews and Christians share the same God. But we do no such thing with Islam. And we are not going to become part of a false religion that is contrary to the will of the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jabob.
