Christianity vs. Islam vs. Judaism- Why does God allow it? | Forum | Gaia Online
Why would God allow the development of three largely conflicting religions that all worship him?
This thought occured to me after reading Trudi Canavan's Age of the Five trilogy.
(I strongly recommend it, its a fantastic trilogy and it makes you look at religion and good vs.
Evil differently) These three religions' fighting has caused so many problems through history, namely the crusades, the general state of Soutwest Asia, and the inevitable problems that will arise from the situation on the Temple Mount.
It just strikes me as odd that The Lord would allow his followers to do such terrible things to each other in His name.
EDIT: Making the title less vague.

Obvious answer arrow God doesn't exist.

Just why God allows all evils: "to show my power through you that my name may be proclaimed throughout the earth." Exodus 9:16, Romans 9:17, and I dunno about the Koran.

God allows it because
1.
He doesn't exist, or
2.
He finds their fighting entertaining, or
3.
None of those religions were inspired by him.

Because God gave man free will.
What we do with it isn't his business unless you piss him off bad enough.

Matthew 7:21-23
21 “Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will.
22 Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ 23 And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew YOU!
Get away from me, YOU workers of lawlessness.

Karismas because God gave man free will.

If all of this senseless violence hasn't pissed him off enough for him to do anything about it, then he's rather cruel/apathetic.
@ iKnighty: Trudi Canavan's Age of the Five trilogy insinuates that #2 is a very plausible answer...
Intriguing and yet so horrifying!
@ Tlara: Could you please explain how that Quote: answers my question?
@ IcarusDream: Wow.
God is very vain.
That verse basically says "I'll allow evil because it makes me look better in comparison."
And for the record, I'm agnostic.

Have you seen the platypus?
Or E. bola? A sick twisted sense of humor like that would surely put three conflicting religions that are all essentially the same to war with each other.

My theory has always been that god knows that we humans are simple and violent creatures (in comparison with the infinite potential of creation) and that he knew that, if we hadn't been arguing about it for all of these years, we would forget and stop caring and the hwole mess would've just been a waste.
The conflict keeps the religions prominant in peoples' minds.

Because man created these Abrahamic religions to give himself legitimacy to rule over a population making every political move God's commands.
Like how god told G Bush to invade Iraq?
God is too busy writing down the names of the U.N personnel raping children in third world countries to be talking to Bush.
Seriously rolleyes

That sounds like a very Deist response to me I think.

Because, as we Origenists believe, the conflict in the physical world doesn't really matter.
Whatever side you are on, you'll eventually end up in heaven, and we'll just give you a big-a** hug.
