"Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be THY NAME". Please forgive me for my quote from the Bible but I would like to explain my feelings toward this interesting thread.
As far as I see it and I have read about many religions of this world, there is only one God and he is a spiritual being with many names, Allah, Buddah, Jehovah, Krishna, etc... but sadly the human race being as it is, so split in its various beliefs and dogmas cannot yet see the full picture. If you imagine a mountain and the supreme being sitting on a throne at the top, with all the religionists all round the base of the mountain in such a position as they cannot see each other but they can see Him/Her, if you were to ask the Muslim he/she would say "that is Allah", and the Buddhist "that is Buddah" and so on until they all climb the mountain in the life long search for their own truth. It is then and only then when they meet one another at the top of the mountain they find out the real truth. Now comes the sad part which humanity ought to be ashamed of is the way we have treat one another in our search for the truth, and all the intolerance to others beliefs and last but by no means least the wars and loss of lives that have ocurred in the quest for this knowledge. (That is just my humble opinion)
