catholicauthor said:I am speaking of the Judeo-Christian God. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Whenever his moral authority is brought up on this forum, his authority is regarded as non-existant, therefore I felt it worthwhile to have a thread to discuss this.
Now, in order to have a fair, non-insulting discussion, people should at least try not to say anything defaming about their opponents or their opponents beliefs (their arguments are fair game!).
Alright, I will let the non-beleivers in the Judeo/Christian God to have the first post. Have at!

P.S. Do Muslims worship the same God as we Judeo-Christians? I wasn't sure, but any Muslims out there are free to join in this argument (ahem, discussion).

Christianity (Christian), Judaism (Jewish), Islam (Muslim) all believe in the same god. All three are connected by Abraham.catholicauthor said:P.S. Do Muslims worship the same God as we Judeo-Christians? I wasn't sure, but any Muslims out there are free to join in this argument (ahem, discussion).
alex said:What I have gotten from people on this site is that the Judeo/Christian god has no authority because he gave people free will. Doesn't giving someone free will remove your authority over them?

Christians believe Jesus was sent from God
Islam believes Muhammad was sent from God.
Judaism believes two false prophets will appear before the real prophet does.
I am of course shortening their beliefs of these three major religions tremendously just to show the connection.
catholicauthor said:Authority, in this sense, does not mean: "I say do this and you have no choice." That is not the way that God's authority works. It is more like the authority of an economic-type counsellor, who says "you should put your money here, and maybe you'll get more money." You don't have to follow ihs advice, although you should because he probably knows more than you do.
americanwoman said:I had the same question before but now it is answered! It's so ironic that the 3 major religions have the same God but took it down such different paths. Why can't you all just get along?!!??

Gibberish said:There are people who think along the same lines. Unitarian Universalism is a religion based on the fact that aslong as an individual has truth, love, and compassion in their being that they are on the right path for a inner enlightenment. This enlightment can come in the form of whatever best suits your individual soul. For some this enlightment may be entrance into a form of a cloud heaven, for others it might be the enternal life in a more personal happiness. In short, no matter what earthly religion you are we are all focused for the same goal, we are just getting there by different paths.
Personally I believe all the major religions that teach peace, love, and compassion focus towards the same diety. This diety, in it's great knowledge, shows itself to each person how ever they wish to see it, what ever way is most comfortable for that individual.
