Recently, I attended a talk about different faiths or religions around the world. Mainly, the big religions like Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism. As I listened, I discovered numerous things, from each speaker. Shockingly, all of them agreed with two things, 1) we are all made by one God. 2) We are all brothers and sisters. So, my question is do you agree that, there are very little or no difference at all between these faiths?
For my opinion, I see no difference. We are all created equal. And we are all Children of God.

There are many differences in each religion. I am Muslim. Here's the difference that I know of:
1. Islam knows only one God (Allah), Allah, the eternally Besought of all, He begetteth not nor was begotten and there is none comparable unto Him.
2. Christian religion has a god named Jesus. In Islam, Jesus (Isa) was a prophet. Look at point 1, "there is none comparable unto Him (Allah)", so very different from the Christians who have a god in human form.
3. Buddhist worship the gods through sculptures, and this is forbidden by Islam. Refer back to point 1.
We are all brothers because we come from a common ancestor of the prophet Adam.
There are many differences of each religion. You can look through the Internet.

I am a Muslim and since childhood living in a city predominantly Christian. A bit much I know both Protestant and Catholic Christianity. We respect each other and sometimes share about our religion. I also wanted to share here.
Jesus (Isa) was a prophet, like Moses, David and Abraham. They have a mother. So, it is contrary to Islam that God was born and took a human form. As I said in point one that "Allah begetteth not nor was begotten" and "there is none comparable unto Him".
Not only the difference of God, other religions also have different scriptures. Islam has the Koran and Christian has the Bible. Al Quran is only one version and one language of the entire world and many people have memorized all of its contents, what about the Bible? I once heard that the Bible has many versions and also different languages.
Can you explain why the Bible has many versions? Are there any Christian people who memorize the entire Bible?
Btw, have you ever heard about Dr. Yusuf Estes?

Well, if you look at the whole message all are the same. Christians do give respect to Jesus who they think is the son of God, or some see him as God who took human form. But, all in all, if you really analyse the whole message from God! It is all but one!

I agree with you. We are all children of God. We only have one God. No matter how you know Him, He is still your God. I hope that all people would realize this - that we do not have to hurt each other by using the name of the Lord in vain because we only have one God. Instead let us just unite and praise our Lord for saving us and for giving us our lives. ^_^

on the subject of Buddhism, its not a question of if we were made by one god, as in this religion you are encouraged to find your own path, and make your own decision based on your findings and life experiences. it is not a question of is there a god, and did he, she, or they create this world, universe, existence. whats more important is living a honest life, treating all living things with respect, and not indulging in excess. a common misconception with Buddhism is that buddah was a god. in hindi religion he is seen as a reincarnation of a god, in traditional Buddhism tho, and in his writings, he flat out states he is not a god, and the question of weather there is a god or not is something for you to find out on your own. many buddhists learn about other religions, and discredit none. for those of us buddhists, its not important which is the best religion, whos right or wrong about god. if you follow the eightfold path, and the middle way and a god does exsist and brings judgement upon you, theyll see u lived life honestly with humility, and respect for your fellow man and planet.
