Unfortunately it is the disagreements that are the real deal-breakers, isn't it? The Jews don't follow Jesus, the Christians think he was the son of god, and the Muslims think he was just a prophet. If saying 'it's enough that we all believe in the same god', then please help me explain the thousands of years worth of interfaith violence, war, and death?

Do you have evidence to support your position? No? Then don't whine and bitch about it to us. If your position lacks evidence, change your position; simple as that.

Reminder: If you have facts and evidence, one doesn't need 'faith'.

Do you claim that your god affects the natural world? If so, then your god can be tested. If not, then your god is unfalsifiable; but conversely unable to affect the natural world. So which is it? Do you have an interventionist deity that interacts with the world, and yet we have no evidence for? Or can he do nothing to affect nature, and is in essence identical to a non-existent god?

Who in the hell are you to say what science can not explain? Everytime anyone has every drawn that line in the sand, it has eventually been crossed by the unrelenting forward march of scientific progress. All one can say with confidence is that science hasn't explained it yet.
