it is a bit hard to tell you my very core belief in question form with the limited space, this is the simple bla bla version, but im discounting all the non creator gods and beleive that MOST religions have one true creation god reasponsble for creation, and that there are small diferences, but most beleive that a god (what ever name bla bla) was that god, and thats good and there the same!

The different representations of God are just humanities attempt to understand the World in which we live. There is one God, but with many different cultural forms. It takes many years of spiritual growth to understand this simple concept - strange isn't it?
If we all respected each others beliefs the World would be a better place.
Non believers are just as rabid as any religious fundamentalist. Look at some of the answers to this question.
What does it matter what or indeed if someone believes in Deity, just so long as they are an honest decent person.

There is no god other than God. Humans have many perceptions on Him. We call him by many names and attribute Him to many things. Some believe Him to have children or only one son and some believe Him to have no children at all. Some believe He appointed lesser gods, but this lesser gods could actually mean angels as in Abrahamic religions. But regardless how you perceive Him, He is the only Supreme Being, Creator of the universe and all things within.
So it is wrong to say there are many Gods. It's just that there are many versions of God, our Lord and Creator. Since He is only one, of course only one version is true.

When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. (Exodus 21:20-21 NAB)
Make ready to slaughter his sons for the guilt of their fathers; Lest they rise and posses the earth, and fill the breadth of the world with tyrants. (Isaiah 14:21 NAB)
If within the city a man comes upon a maiden who is betrothed, and has relations with her, you shall bring them both out of the gate of the city and there stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry out for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbors wife.
(Deuteronomy 22:23-24 NAB)
"If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)
All who curse their father or mother must be put to death. They are guilty of a capital offense. (Leviticus 20:9 NLT)
If a man commits adultery with another man's wife, both the man and the woman must be put to death. (Leviticus 20:10 NLT)
A priest's daughter who loses her honor by committing fornication and thereby dishonors her father also, shall be burned to death. (Leviticus 21:9 NAB)
From there Elisha went up to Bethel. While he was on his way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him. "Go up baldhead," they shouted, "go up baldhead!" The prophet turned and saw them, and he cursed them in the name of the Lord. Then two shebears came out of the woods and tore forty two of the children to pieces. (2 Kings 2:23-24 NAB)
That night the angel of the Lord went forth and struck down one hundred and eighty five thousand men in the Assyrian camp. Early the next morning, there they were, all the corpuses of the dead. (2 Kings 19:35 NAB)

At the very core of religion despite race, cultures et cetera, all believers share one thing.
The desire for an external force to offer them strength and solace in hard times.
If we only realised we're all just scared humans looking for protection rather than the 'true believer of the true religion' we'd get far, very far.

Frank is right. You are not totally correct on this issue. In Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, the God is the same. Judaism follows the Old Testament, Christianity follows the Old and New Testaments, and Islam follows the Quran. There are different beliefs, and prophets, etc. But the belief of God is the same, just a different name. As for other religions, they do not believe in the same God.

"We know that an idol is nothing at all in the world and that there is no God but one. For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many "gods" and many "lords"), yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.
But not everyone knows this..."

You're groping toward the truth, Tiger, but I don't think you've quite reached it yet. All "gods" are certainly not the same. There is one God, who has chosen to reveal Himself to us in three forms--Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

I think we all understand it...I've thought of this years ago. We all basically bealive in the same thing, we just have different names for it, thus people think it's all separate...causing wars....and etc. No one wants to except the fact that we all bealive in something, and it's all narrowed down to the same thing. So it doesn't matter on who you praise, it's just better to beieve something then nothing at all.
