There is only ONE Creator. There is some Truth in every monotheisic religion.

That is all.

I can see where you're coming from and what you're trying to say. But I think it is not correct that "there is some truth in every monotheistic religion."

For example, what if I were to say, "There is only 1 God. His name is Maximilian. All must bow down and worship Maximilian. I am, by the way, all powerful despite the unassuming form I have chosen to inhabit, and I shall exterminate all who refuse to worship the great and powerful Maximilian."

I would be a monotheist, but there would be precious little truth in my religion. One could view Islam in the same way. They worship 1 God, Allah. But their religion is nothing but a tissue of lies inspired by demons.

Even were their religion true, it would not be the same God as our God, it would only mean that our religion is false. We believe in a Trinity. This is the very essence of our religion. They consider that blasphemy.

really? It is my opinion that anyone that knows the God of Abraham and Jesus knows better than to think all gods are created equal..What do you thing God was talking about in the first commandment? Would you deny God to protect your pope?
