If there is only one God, how can a false or multiple Gods even exist?

Now I udderstand why the raghead at Gitmo says his Koran was desecrated when an American peed too close to the vent pipe. The Enliste dman was probably confused thinking he was in th elatrine and didn't know if that cell was occupied. On closer inspection your post nails it.

There is only one God--propblem is the camel jocky who started the false religion of Islam was very ecclectic and
knew the Arabs were a superstitious lot. Mohammed knew the Jews had discovered Truth--and he also knew that the
Christians had refined the Truth -several hundreds of years before his birth. He also knew Arabs. And being a madman and terrorist he concocted his story. Drawing from many sources so no sincle source could prove him right -or wrong. There is only one God--but there are as many ways for
fallen man to describe God-or how God ought be worshipped.
A man knows the one true God -as well as any man might -via
trial and error But Only Christianity serves a living God-a
triune God ,Father,Son,and Holy Spirit.

Lots of kumbya, little facts. The article never answers the question that its title poses.

It does go on to imply that its the West's fault.

Christianity understandably is a problem for Jews. If as a Jew you don't believe that Jesus Christ is the promised Messiah, then he must be a false prophet. Nevertheless, Christians accept as their Old Testament the entire Jewish Bible. They believe it is true and they don't change it. They believe that the God of Israel is the same as their God.

That simply cannot be said of Islam. Islam rewrites the Bible and contradicts it in numerous places. If Islam is true, then the Bible is false and mistaken.

God does not contradict Himself. God does not lie or make mistakes. For that reason, it is hard to see how a Jew or a Christian can interpet Islam as anything but a heresy. Indeed, in my view Islam is a successful version of what Dianetics sets out to be: an invented religion, invented by an ambitious scoundrel who used religion as a means to accumulate wealth and power. There's nothing admirable or holy about Muhammed's career. He was a murderer, a slave taker, a rapist, an oath breaker, a man drunk on the will to power.

Those are the things that chiefly attract his followers. Power over others, in the name of a god who lifts up the strong and enslaves the weak. Precisely the opposite of the God of Christianity and Judaism, who brings down the mighty and the oppressors from their seats and raises up the poor, the widows, and the orphans.

How can it matter how someone describes or worships God? If there is only one God, then when someone prays to God, who hears him, other than the only God?

Anything other than the one true God is an idol.

Do you read the Bible? God is who he says he is. If you worship something else, that is not worshipping God. There are plenty of supernatural powers that consider God an enemy, and they're willing to hear your prayers too, if you aren't actually praying to the God who requires you to be blameless in his sight, obedient, and perfect.

Of course, you say "none of us are perfect" -- which is why he provided a blood atonement so that we could accept his sacrifice on our behalf and be pronounced blameless. We also receive the promise that one day, the corruption of sin which still wars in our bodies and minds will be taken away.
