well, officially.... according to the Bible, it doesn't matter what you do in life, as long as you repent, that is feel reaaaalllll sorry about it..... in other words, take two cases... first, a man who does nothing wrong in his whole life except steal a packet of sweets aged four... he can't even remember doing it.... the second, a mass rapist and child molester who repents just before he dies... in Islam, the first goes to heaven, the second to hell.... in christianity, the first is damned, the second saved...

.... WE all worship the same GOD, the only difference is in the way we worship and stuff.( well i not getting into atheism now, but you guys are ok)
OH YES THEY are
GO do some good reading for once in your life. Buddha is not seen as god in Buddhism, although he is considered as an incarnation of god, just like Jesus, Rama, Krishna etc
Allah may have been a moon god, but god takes many shapes and forms. IF a man is a teacher, a husband, a friend........ he is STILL THE SAME man, no matter which part you look at it. SAME GOES for god.
IT is one GOD that we all worship, its just because of cultural difference that God can take one form, a representative form( jesus), many forms.
ITs GOD , dont you think the being/spirit that created everything can take more than one form/shape at any given time???????
AND DONT GO quoting the bible, when the bible was written it was OUT OF FASHION to have multiple gods, they wanted it to be simple. They wanted to explain god in simpler terms as compared to the Romans, Egyptians etc.

So you say - and stop with the whole "Allah moon god" thing - if you wish to make that claim extend your study beyond the chick tracts and do some real history, and you will discover it is not nearly as clear cut as Chick makes out.
And to be perfectly honest when you have a number of figures who advocate similar things, and the only difference is the way in which it is approached, it is far to say they might stem from the same source. Or that they might share origins - Jesus is similar to Buddha.
Or they might all simply be a different facate of the same whole. I have said it before, and I will say it again - I don't know how a person can believe so totally in something like Christianity, despite everything, yet be so resistant to the idea of groups with similar claims might have some validity or an equal chance of being correct. Is there really no room for reasonable doubt or open mindedness?

Siddharta Gautama is the man... buddha is the God. It is like Jesus and Christ.

WHile doing that study, you'll also find a greater case for Jesus being a Sun God than Allah being a Moon God.

And that would be quite sweet, I would like to see him find a way around that... unless he carries around an emergancy "Bible Quote It Kit" for those situations where valid doubt it cast.
