Why would a loving God inspire many religions and chose only one as the true religion?
Is he a jokester?

God did not inpire many religions. Religions are human inventions. Find one that brings you closer to god, and be happy the rest of your life.

Ok , lets try this. God didnt inspire religion, People did. God is the all pervading essence that is in everything ,everywhere and nowhere.People did give God a beard , give God gender and give God personallity traits that we can relate to.So what we as a species have done is to take the purest of Beings that ever Is,Was or Will Be and turn that Being into an inflated immage of ourselves. The sad truth is that most people dont know why they believe , what they believe and are very happy to not know the roots of thier faith. If more people questioned ,WHY, there would be alot more civility and harmony in the world. Dig for the answers and you might just get a big suprise. There are no stupid questions, just stupid answers. And usually the stupid answers come from the ill informed masses. That is just my opinion,im sure lots of people wont agree but I would rather know the truth than to accept what someone tells me just because im supposed to believe it.

Our Lord Morgoth loves to play with peoples heads and loves the violence and frustration and hate that comes from so many not knowing the truth. Those false religions say that their "God" is interested in only Truth and Love. ROTFLOAO! Hhahahahaha!! So why hide in such a mess of false religions, huh? Nope! Morgoth is the TRUE God and Morgoth loves frustration and hate and confusion and deception and war and innocent people dying over selfish stupid people's fake belief in a loving, all-powerful God that needs your MONEY.
Hahahahahaha!!!
Yes, Morgoth has got a GREAT sense of humor!
Oh, and don't forget that fun belief that a caring and loving God would leave his children to the whims of a vicious and malicious tyrant. So nice. So caring. So loving. Don't worry little lambs! He's just testing you! Never mind that it's a cruel and hurtful and unnecessary test for an all-powerful and omniscient being. Nope! Don't you cry our poor little... VICTIMS!!! Mwahahahahaha!!!
Oh, yes, all these other religions are inspired by "the adversary." Nice. That would be the equally potent and capable Adversary then, would it? Sounds like polytheism at that point. Then multiple religions start to make a whole lot of sense... So much for just one God. Nice try. No dice.
A God that allows Evil to run rampant in his House when he also has the power to make it stop is still an accessory to Evil. Neglect is only slightly better than being the abuser yourself though isn't it? Only God is standing around at the time? Hmmm... Isn't exactly neglect then either... Hmmm...

there is only ONE way to heaven, through Jesus Christ. John 14:6-- "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto the Father but by me."
Religion is man's idea. True Christianity is not a religion; rather, it is a relationship with God.

He didn't He provided one religion that was doing his will and everyone knew it by the fulfilled prophecys and sensational acts he preformed. So to hide the only true religion Satan came up with the other religions so people couldn't find the true one. But God opened the hearts of honest hearted ones who really prayed for the truth and acted in accordance with those prayers by reading the bible and really studying it.
Even giving us a way to find the truth reliigon he said you would know them by the love they have among themselves.
So they wouldn't be violent, knowing God hates violence the bible says. They wouldn't be arrogant towards others because God hates the haughty ones. But loves the lowly ones. So he gave us ways of finding his path by just looking around us and saying what inspires violence and hate and bloodshed? That would be Satan not God.

Its not religion. Its about living for Christ and the Father. Being in the family of God which is not on earth but in Heaven.

He did not. Ask yourself who is to gain? Who would benefit to clouding true religion with 1,000s of false ones all claiming to be true? Even having some declare any type of perversion is OK as long as one is a member?
Could it be SATAN?
As a matter of fact, yes!

God only inspired "one" religion.
Unlike all other religions, Christianity alone possesses a founder who transcends death and who promises that His followers will do the same. All other (false) religions were founded by men and prophets whose end was the grave. As Christians, we take comfort in the fact that our God became man, died for our sins, was killed, and was resurrected the third day. The grave could not hold Him. He lives and He sits today at the right hand of God the Father in heaven. The living church has a living Head.

He did not inspire many religions. That is a begged question. He inspired people to Jesus. People developed religions.

He only "inspired" one. The others were inspired by the Adversary.
