Urm, no gods are 'real'. They are just slightly different versions of narratives many people use to help make sense of their lives. I think you're asking the wrong question.

Prove it

Tbh i dont know but like Dolph just mentioned that if you are muslim, christian and jewish...you would worship the same god lol...its only hindhu's and the buddhists that are different in their worship of god.

Hmm interesting, this could make my devilish plan a lot simpler! If we share the same God then Why are we all fighting?

How come I got Jesus and you got Mohammed?

Dont worry we have Jesus too but we dont see him in the same way you do ie son of God...he was a prophet just like Mohammed was in islam

God is real. He is real in the minds of men.

Whether God be a tangible entity or a human concept doesn't matter. The deeds done for good or ill in his name make him very real.

So What do you think Jesus did? Who was his parents?

If the abrahamic religions are to be believed we are ALL sons of God.

By the same logic Father Christmas is very real.

Mary and Mr X.

Immaculate conception... all sounds a bit too convenient to me, she was blatantly sleeping around.

The only trouble I can see with my plan is trying to be faithful to my new Pagan beliefs when Christmas is on at the same time If only there was a Sky Record feature for real life :/

No problem there. Christmas pre-dates christianity by a long time so you can still celebrate it. Pagan Origins of Xmas

Jesus died for our sins. He has given us the gift of eternal life. But its your choice weather you accept this gift or not.

Sorry I forgot to quote Spawn... apparently Jesus is in Islam too, this overlapping will certainly help when revising for all my new faiths.

It's who you believe is the prophet or saviour.

Couldn't resist posting this either:

You could get a nice weekend. Muslim on firday, Jew on Saturday and Christain on Sunday. Three days of pure rest.

I dont know...he just went on his merry way living life passing the message of islam down to people and also given the ability to perform miracles...obviously he was before Mohammad but he had just as important a role in islam as Mohammad did.

His parents??..well his mother was Maryam or Mary as she is known more commonly...it was a virginal conception, pregnant through the will of God ie he had no father but this where christianity and islam differ in that we muslims do not recognise god being his father whereas christians do.

Plenty more information here if your interested in how islam saw Jesus:

Indeed he is, albeit as an accepted Western European embodiment or personification of Christmas amalgamated with the Pagan Norse God Woden, the Christian Bishop of Myra, St Nicholas and various other folklore figures and concepts.

SO I really can't understand why there is so much tension in the world, sounds like we are practically brothers. Anyway, I digress...
