Indeed, sometimes i am jealous actually of people who believe in God. My question is this. Why do you believe in the Christian God and not a Hindu? or from an African tribe? Why is your version of God better?
I never understood how one can make the distinction in their head if they know that many other Gods exist.
You fail to distinguish between man-made gods and the God who made man. Find the real God and ignore all those that are man made.
Here's the hint: Only one religion exists where God Himself took on human form, proved he was God, died for us, and resurrected Himself as further proof.
All other man made religions try to come up with man made things that men must do to achieve something they are incapable of giving themselves - eternal life.
Jesus says none of those man-made efforts are acceptable. Let Him help you. Or not.
I actually think that it is the same God that we all believe in. The nations on earth just have different experiences and histories which skewed the translation.
I differ from you we believe in a loving God that only wants us to be what he created us to be and to tell others about Him. All the other gods demand something in return you have to proof yourself all the time. Some of the other religions want you to kill in their name do you think we are talking about the same God?
Well, let's make a definition of God. It will sort the things out. God is the source of everything, that's the first definition. It's from Vedanta (janmādy asya yataḥ). The second definition is from Vishnu-Purana (6.5.47). Parasara Muni, a great sage and the father of Vyasadeva, who compiled all the Vedic literatures, gave the following definition of God:
aisvaryasya samagrasya viryasya yasasah sriyah
jnana-vairagyayos caiva sannam bhaga itingana
Bhagavan, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is the one who is full in six opulences — who has full strength, fame, wealth, knowledge, beauty, and renunciation.
So when I'm saying I believe in God I mean that kind of God. I mean the very specific God, not just God. And from the first definition we can clearly see, that such God which is the source of everything (!) is only one. The key word is everything.
Another definition of God is "asama urdhva", which means there is no equal to Him (asama), and nobody is greater than Him (urdhva). So if we use this definitions we can't see many Gods.
