Curious. Does this one true religion have a name?
Sure, Catholicism.
And in Catholicism, there is only one true God? And you would say that if a person believes in God being the only true God, the Creator, the Sustainer, the Lord of the Heaven and the Earth and all that exists; is on the right track? Correct?
I did not disagree with that. What I did say is that there are different ways to commune with the God that you believe in. Whether it is according to the Catholic rituals of the Eucharist or the Muslim rituals of the Salah, they are worshiping the same God in different ways. If both believe is the same prophets of God (Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David, etc...) then they believe in the same God. If both believe in the same original Divine Scriptures of the Old and New testament then they believe in the same God. If both belief in the existence of angels; belief in the Day of Resurrection and the Day of Judgment; Life after death; and belief in the doctrine that every human being is morally responsible of their own actions - good or evil then they believe in the same God. If they both belief that nothing can happen without the will and knowledge of God and that life in this world will come to an end one day when everything in this world will perish and God will bring all human beings back to life and judge, reward or punish them according to the deeds they did during this temporary life on earth then they believe in the same God
These beliefs form the basic fundamentals of both Catholicism and Islam. Why is there so much animosity between them then? It's simple, because both of these religions believe that theirs is the ONE TRUE Religion and anybody who doesn't worship (not believe the same things, only worship) the same way they do is wrong and is going against their God and as such should be eliminated. That is where you get Crusades and Jihads.
Which one is right?
