I have had a think over your answers and agree with most of what you said. The only thing I urge you to consider is that there are some fundamental

say that adherents of Christianity, Islam and Judaism share the same ideals, adhere to the same laws and express their beliefs in the same fashion is
misleading. The "God" figure of all 3 might be the same, but there are other significant aspects to each religion that should be taken into
consideration.edit on 26/11/2010 by Dark Ghost because: (no reason given)
First, I appreciate you taking the time out to consider my argument rather than the way many on ATS would handle it. Second, this might of been my
fault for not claryfying, but I did not mean to imply their core beliefs where all the same. What I was trying to do was explain that the difference
between the three are in their ideals, and what they believe god "represents" for a lack of better word, rather than believing in a different God. I
was using that as an example as a way to show that although they differ in language and specific rules/ideals etc., they are merely different
approaches to the same God. The example I used with Christianity being formed somewhat represents this, considering Christianity is merely an
extention of Jesus' faith in Judaism, in that the major difference is only Jesus' emphasis on compassion and a different approach to the laws in
Judaism. I was attempting to use an analogy to show that like Judaism's "Yahweh", and Christianity's "God", Islam has it's own word it.
