    God for the British, Allah for the Arabs?
    Then, each nation has its own god
    God rules each nation individually
    God did not rule the Sumerians who believed in Marduk and Tiamat

    Can't everyone just choose which non-existent god they want? That seems to have worked in the past.

    55% believe in God
    Christ, Allah, Krishna
    therefore, other religions are secondary

    "We are no more a "Christian nation" because the majority are Christian than we are a "White nation" because the majority is White ~ Kalev"

    therefore, Muslims will rule soon

    So many words, so little understanding. We live in the age of the most information ever with an ever-plunging capacity of the majority to know what to do with it.

    First, let's understand that "Allah" is the Arabic word for "God". The words mean the same thing. Secondly, in the U.S. most Arabs are Christian and most Muslims are black, so in the U.S. those Muslims pray to "God" and those Christians pray to "Allah". Considering that Jesus did not pray to "God" (English was 1,000 years away) but in Mark 15:34 he prayed to "Eloi" (pronounced El ah --the Aramaic word from which "Allah" derives). Let's just face it, we're all praying to the same God.

    Nothing exists but god. Call it what you will. We are all god. Our thoughts are god. What we see around us is god. Those tending the sick are god. Those climbing the corporate ladder, teaching in universities, filling the prisons, and dying on the battlefield are all god. Buddhists, Satanists, Christians, Muslims, Atheists…all are god.
    Every thought is a prayer, or a conversation with the universe, which is just a conversation with ourself.
    We are all aspects of god, experiencing itself, which is everything that is, was and will be, all existing simultaneously.

    True, tho I don't remember anyone saying that everyone did, plus I'm lost as to how that bears on the discussion.

    oh, I misread you maybe, did you mean there is no God, so if we pray to a God, it's the same imaginary God?

    Jesus is in both stories and in both stories God got marry pregnant with Jesus

    http://www.islam-guide.com/ch3-10.htm

    (Remember) when the angels said, “O Mary, God gives you good news of a word from Him (God), whose name is the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, revered in this world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought near (to God). He will speak to the people from his cradle and as a man, and he is of the righteous.” She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child when no mortal has touched me?” He said, “So (it will be). God creates what He wills. If He decrees a thing, He says to it only, ‘Be!’ and it is.” (Quran, 3:45-47)


    and of course part 1 of both stores is the Jewish God

    Some muslims worship the same God as the Christians; other muslims do not.

    "Worshipping God" is not such a simple thing.

    Even among professed Christians, there are some who claim to worship God but what they are actually worshipping is not exactly the same thing.

    To address this comparison, we really would have to go back to the historical Prophet Muhammed, and some non-muslims have their doubts whether the "god" the Prophet was worshipping was actually God.

    here's a random old thread: Muslims actually worship the moon god!
