Replying to a message of Jeff Snyder to Bob Ackley:

 BK>> A simple one:  A monotheistic religion holds that there is only one
 BK>> deity. If there is only one such deity then *all* monotheistic
 BK>> religions must be worshipping that one, Logic 101.  And as I noted,
 BK>> the differences between them are in their rituals and traditions,
 BK>> not the basic belief.

 BK>> I didn't say there were no differences between them, I said they were
 BK>> worshipping the same deity.

 JS> It seems to me that logic is a very subjective thing.

Human thought processes may be, but logic isn't.  Sometimes people confuse
logic with human thought processes, that isn't necessarily the case.

If A and if B, then C is logic.  If all men are mortal and if Jeff is a
man then Jeff is mortal.  If the conclusion C is not true then at least
one of the premises (A or B) must not be true.

If there is one god if the three major religions all worship one god then
all three major religions must worship the same god. 



 JS> So, while your logic dictates that Christianity, Judaism and Islam all

Not my logic, logic period.  See above.

Your thought processes cannot accept that idea.  Neither, FTM, can those of other
religionists including Jews and Islamics, so you have a lot of company.  To the
objective observer, however, the appellations Yahweh, God (Jesus Christ etc.) and
Allah must all represent the same being.
