Because this means that there is a deity, but not the one that Muslims think exists and not the one that Christianity thinks exists. The God of the Bible and the Allah of the Quoran are two VERY different deities.
If you think that there is some sort of God that Christianity and Islam are both on to...then how could it be the same one? Both religions has a very different definition of their God.
I'm sounding redundant here, mostly because there's nothing more to explain from my previous post.
Did you get A's in your "Irony" class as well as your philosophy one?
What if one is a corruption of the other and the significant differences are from significant corruption, but they have a common root and a common tie through spiritual laws that govern each (e.g. God exalts nations that follow God to one degree or another and gives them power over the ones that do not follow God). An interesting question: why are Christian and Muslim nations the most powerful and other nations and religions not powerful? Why has Christianity and Islam been able to survive for hundreds of years and have control over so many and Communism and animism has failed and has basically not had any longevity?
Your point argues the existence of God - NOT the validity of Christianity and Islam. The idea of there being a god and the idea that Christianity/Islam is true are two very different ideas.
And to answer your last sentence there, you're comparing global religions to forms of government. Not a fair comparison, especially since communism doesn't even work. And watch it, there are currently over a billion animists in the world (counting religions that are animist in themselves)
