Out of the thousands of deities, there are millions of people who favor one over another and claim that the others are not real.
If Christians claim to have as much proof and conviction for the existence of their god as Muslims claim to have for the existence of Allah, who is one from either religion to claim that the other is wrong?
If a Christian can reach a logical conclusion that other deities are myth, what prevents them from knowing that their own god is also myth? After all, Muslims use exactly the same logic to dismiss the Christian god as Christians use to dismiss Allah.
What would it take for a Christian who realizes that countless other gods are not real to also come to the logical conclusion that the likelihood of the Christian god being real is just as unlikely?
The Christian God promises to reunite His created ones to Himself in a perfect eternal life.
If allah is the same as Yahweh, why did he wait till around 600 AD to begin the Muslim religion. Yahweh started at the beginning.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
