A:

Invariably, gods reflect the self-image of the people who follow that God. As the nation's self-image evolves over the centuries, so does its God or gods.

Chief gods are often surprisingly similar, for a number of reasons: They generally originated as representing the same forces of nature, typically the weather god, sun god or moon god; anthropomorphism as they take on human characteristics, which are common to all of us; and syncretism as nations come into contact through trade, conquest and cultural interchange. It could arguably be said that all gods, or at least all chief gods, are interpretations of the same elements and therefore of each other. On that view, all the gods are the true god.

What is the meaning of true god?

A:True god is different in every religion. In the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) this term refers to the one God they worship. Other religions differ. Of course, we can never prove any god is true.


Why does God lie so much and make so many religions and make you believe things that are not true but seem true at that moment but ultimately are not which flies in the face of reality and God?

Why do some Christians think that Christianity is the the only true religion?

A:Every believer, in every religion, believes that his or her religion is the true religion. While polytheistic religions, by their nature, do encourage some tolerance of other beliefs, monotheistic religions make no possible allowance for the notion that there are other gods. This crosses over into preaching to members of other religions that there is only one god and that that God is the Abrahamic God. Some extremists go as far as to hold other beliefs in contempt.

Which religion is the true religion that believes in God as our father?

Opinions on which is the "true religion" will vary: believers of many different religions will tell you that THEIRS is the true religion. Several religions believe in a single God; usually this single God is all-powerful, so that would reply the second part of your question. The key word to search for (for example, in Wikipedia, or in Google) is "monotheism" (belief in a single God). Some religions that believe in a single supreme God are Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Bahá'í Faith.
