Every religion claim that there is One God. That God is eternal living forever. Looks like God has abonded his creation. Where is he? Where does he live? Is he in the imaginary heaven all times? Does he visit hell and earth? Or has he delegated that work to the custodians of the religion and no more bothered? Did he create the devil? Or some other force created the devil that makes him envious?
The books say that he is the only one to be worshiped Does that imply there are other Gods which makes him insecure. If God is all powerful as claimed why is he asking to fight the devil? Can't he destroy it himself? He wants his followers to destroy but where is the commander in charge. They say God is compassionate does that mean he is compassionate selectively where he helps those who keep praising him? He must have one big ego.
It is not God who is at fault it is humans. Man managed to politicize divinity for personal reasons. Man created God, gave it a name. Books were written by humans. It will have the writers flavor for imagination. To ensure authority and stop logical questioning instill fear through various means. It played well to the ever God fearing humans. Wonder why would you fear your creator unless he is a monster. Wont you love your child unconditionally?
The protagonist of religion has belittled God in every possible manner. They say their God alone is true. Their religion alone is true. Sadly they fail to understand that by doing so they are demeaning the very God they adore. It is belittling God's creative ability. Would you appreciate God if he had created all animals as lions (no deer, no hippos etc) or all flowers as roses and nothing else or all humans having the same facial appearance and same height and weight or all colors in white or all seasons in winter or all eatables as rice. Now that to any thinking standard it shows very poor creativity. Why is that God can't create different religions? Why can't God have different names? Why can't the rituals be different? Does it matter whether it is ancient or a new one? It is not God at fault it is the maturity of the followers that needs help.
