    Indeed, it appears the atheists are correct in this case, and have proved as much.

    Actually none mean God. None of those words translates into english as god. Again, find the origin of the word god for your answers.

    There are dozens and dozens of christian religions.
    Was there more than 1 Jesus?
    Was there more than 1 christ, not just jesus?
    Although, as far as I'm aware, all christian religions say Jesus is the christ. But not 100% sure on that one.

    There you nailed it. 3 different religions views and beliefs on how the god of abraham tells them how to get to heaven. That is the only difference in the three religions.
    1 god and 3 religions.

    The 3 religions all think they're right about their beliefs and what it takes to get to heaven. And all 3 want to instill those beliefs into everyone elses belief.

    Don't forget, 1 religion is over 3000 yrs old, another over 2000 yrs old and the last about 700 yrs old. All wrote in different languages by thousands and thousands of different men.
    So, with time and interpretation, it can easily account for differences.
    Ever play a game of telephone? Just in 10 short minutes a story can change completely from its orginal version.

    You're wrong dairyair...sorry but you are. The religions are too far apart to be attributed to time and interpretation. There is 3 religions and 3 Gods. The one true religion is Jesus Christ.

    Exactly right. Just because they all claim to be the God of Abraham doesn't mean they believe in the same God. I'm still shocked this is so hard to follow.

    Multiple citations have been provided that demonstrate that Muslims, Jews, and Christians all believe in the same god.

    It's called faith, something I'm sure you're not familiar with.

    Even Muslim's don't believe it is the same God. Surely that should be enough for you lefty's, since you seem to gravitate to protect Islam.

    Why does faith have to be fact free?

    The more fact free the more faithful! Simples!

    This bigoted dope doesn't realise that the Abrahamic god is the same as "Allah" which is merely the Arabic word for "God". Not only that, but he uses Arabic numbers every day without demur.

    "Bigoted dope"? For what? Not wanting a religious song sung in public school?

    I love how inconsistent progressives are.

    Perhaps, but the role of public education is to help students develop critical minds, to question dogmas and to develop alternative points of view, rather than to accept dogmas as unquestioned, unassailable truth.

    A two year old thread about a story that is no longer relevant has been bumped. Good job, PF.
