    Christians believe he is a man, Muslims do not know who or how he is because he could be infinate. They believe the nothingness around us i.e. the infinate space, could be God, Jews have similar beliefs to christians, hindus have many gods. So what is a god?

    Christians don't believe God is a man. Also Jews don't have similar beliefs to Christians. They were the originators basically. The Muslims have a modified version of Judaism that Muhammad made. The Christians extended the Old Testament to include the life of Jesus Christ and the writings thereafter.

    please let me clarify a few things.

    Muslim dont believe in a modified religeon or a man made religeon. Islam is a religeon from god and muhammad was the messenger of god. Plain and simple.

    Muslims also believe god is UNSEEN and will never be seen. He is everywhere.

    Just thought id contribute ;)

    Thanks.

    There are many gods but only the one true God. Notice the capitalization used? Many people worship gods of many sorts. As you may already know there in some countries millions of gods. However, these gods are not real gods as they have not done what the only true God has done, and that is to create all things, including the material things that many people worship as their god/s.

    There is plenty of material I have if anyone wants to know more.

    Bah... God doesn't exist... it's just a myth we invented to explain things before we had science.

    Not only to explain things but to keep people togather and to prevent them running amok

    Yes, social control is a big part of it all. Fear of the imaginary hell is enough to make people behave morally, but it seems like a pretty shallow morality to me. Morality should come from within, not from fear of consequences to actions.

    Well, We teach our children not to tell lie, but how many adopt that...
    In early ages, there was a need of something, that can make people not to go out of the line. Something that they be affraid of. To built a society there was a need of something like God, so noone gets out of control.

    It was a good logic, but later on few people started abusing it..

    How ironic, some of the most well known physicists actually believe in God, but it seems their work into studying the universe has led to a swell in opinion among ordinary people that God does not exist.
