If God existed would there be only one true religion or various?
God does exist but he gives us free will (making our own choices), otherwise he wouldn't be a very loving God. Therefore, there would be various religions.
A: 2It is obvious to the rational mind that an absolute and pious divinity will shower raindrops and sprinkle sunlight on all beings equally. A truly pious entity would give all of creation an equal opportunity to enjoy the inalienable right to be born; in a healthy body, in a fulfilling [blessed] home, with perfect intelligence, with reputable social status and with the luxury of a heavenly retirement. A true God will never be afflicted with human weakness and prejudice. A true God would impart knowledge and status to all his creation equally instead of creating fantasies that establishes the dominance of one egocentric group over others. If God was responsible for religion then every minute bit of information contained in those so-called revelations would be absolutely accurate, consistent and able to withstand all challenges and scrutiny. It appears that God gave men free will to create their own set of fantasies which would make them gods on earth. He gave men the free will to use his name in their sinister plot to plunder and enslave others for their personal aggrandizement. If this truly pious entity "God" existed he/she would never have permitted such cruel laws, rules and systems which oppress, persecute and terrorize innocent individuals. A: 3To the vast majority of people living on earth the majority of whom are perfectly rational, intelligent, wise and who have a healthy degree of skepticism, there is still an inbulit and vital need for spiritual things. Very recent research (August 2009) that confirms other research in 2004, suggests strongly that spirituality is inbuilt within our DNA, with those minority who lack the 'spiritual gene' (vmat2) as it has been called, being at a disadvantage over the huge majority of people who do. This is borne out by further research which shows categorically that those who lead spiritual lives, of whatver faith, have happier lives, have more stable families and live longer.
To many religious groups, and especially to Christians, the belief that God created humanity in his image - as a full, perfect humanity - is backed up by the innate necessity for spirituality as demonstrated in the research. The problem, of course, with religious belief is that the very people who believe are humans, with all human failings, and have free will. Humanity has the free will to 'plunder and enslave others' as the above answer correctly states, but also the free will to conduct great good. Sadly, the news is always full of bad news because, as humans, that, sadly, is what we relish and revel in. However. for every bad deed in the world, there are a hundred good ones as any visit to a hospital, a hospice, a church outreach station in a poverty-stricken inner city, or a thousand and one other situations will confirm. Christians believe that free will is a gift given from God as a result of his love. For if God was a God that only allowed good things where everyone did exactly as God dictated, would not be a loving God but a God out to create a humanity of automatons. Who is the better manager? a manager that manages his workforce to ensure that the best possible is achieved with the people he has, or a manager that sacks the workforce and employs a load of yes-men? God gave us free will to do as we please. If we choose to go the way of evil that is our loss, and Christians believe that ultimately we will all have to answer to God as judge one day.
This free will is extended, of course, to what we believe. We can either believe and trust in God - in whatever way we choose - or reject him. The questioner suggests that God doesn't exist, despite the overwhelming evidence in the physical laws, in creation and in peoples' lives past and present, that he does. So it seems that the questioner has rejected him. That is the questioner's right as he/she has free will. But the essence is this - that free will is a gift of God - strongly suggests that God's gift necessitates differing ways of worshipping (ie 'worth-shipping' - giving God his due worth) him too. Therefore, for the majority of people in the world - those of the Christian, Islamic and Jewish faiths - and a whole lot more people whose religion does not preclude the belief in a God, we should be celebrating our common beliefs, our common humanity, and our common love of God and our fellow humans. Thank God we have the free will to do this of our own accord. Thank God too that we can try to persuade to lay down their arms those who fight between themselves in the name of 'religion', or who pour scorn on the God who created them because they have used their free will incorrectly,and to suggest to them that they should perhaps look to themselves to blame for the problems in the world, rather than God.

Where do the roman gods come from?
The Romans adopted most of their gods from the ancient Greeks but gave them Roman names. Greece's Zeus, for example, became Rome's Jupiter; and Ares, the Greek god of war, became Mars (though in his earliest manifestations, Mars was also an agricultural god).
The ancient Greek Olympian god of war, civil order and manly courage was Ares [Άρης] son of Zeus and Hera. He was lover of goddess Aphrodite who gave birth to three children Phobos, Deimos [celestial bodies - satellites of planet Mars/ Ares] and Harmonia. The greek God of war is Ares, in Rome known as Mars.
Why can you go to war at age 18?

Who has the power to delcare waR?
In the United States, the power to declare war resides with Congress. Under the War Powers Resolution of 1973, the President may send forces anywhere (or immediately respond if under attack), but must inform Congress within 48 hours of initiating any military action. In addition, within 60 days, Congress must either declare war or pass an authorizing force bill. Without such a bill, those forces committed must be fully withdrawn within 30 days after the 60 day initial "grace" period.
The distinct in the US is that Congress declares war (that is, decides the political ramifications and actions of war), while the President prosecutes (i.e manages the running of) war.
In many religious beliefs, it is commonly understood that God created both girls and boys to reflect diversity and complementarity within humanity. Both genders are seen as equal and essential parts of the natural order. Additionally, the ability to reproduce and continue the human race is thought to be central to God's plan for creation.
What is the Roman Catholic's higher God?
There is only one "higher god" in Roman Catholicism and that is God, though through his Son, Jesus Christ. The Holy Trinity erroneously combines the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit into a single 'deity', mainly to affirm Jesus as the Son of God and to "name" the mechanism in which God communicates with those 'in His image'. Of course, for Jews and Muslims, the elevation of Jesus from a great prophet or messenger of the One-True-God to the actual Son of God (caused by the mistranslation of John 3:16 from Greek to Latin in which 'a son of God' became 'begotten son of God') is an abomination and an unforgivable slight against God. Both religions, however, consider Jesus a very important messenger and prophet, just not the Son of God. So the correct answer to the question is "the One-True-God is the figurehead for most of the world's monotheistic religions."
How many wars have there been?
There have been innumerable wars, some well-documented and some which can no longer be accurately described. For some of the most prominent or the most current wars, see the related link below.
Wars, as conflicts between tribes, nations, factions, or religions, have existed since before civilization, and are an extension of the human survival instinct. Where there are limited resources, rival groups will come into conflict, just as wild animals fight to defend their food, territory, and social groups.
What distinguishes human warfare is that it can be instigated as a pre-emptory (proactive) action, or for personal grandeur, or by religious or nationalistic fervor. Although wars can still include gaining land, resources, wealth, or a better quality of life, modern wars are predominantly about killing potential enemies and the destruction of their resources.

Is God choosy on which religion you follow?
He is indeed choosy: Exodus 20: v3 "Thou shalt have no other God before me" -this invalidates most other religions. John 14: v6, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." - This eliminates all other religions == According to the followers of god Khrishna, god is not choosy. Khrishna teaching; "It does not matter to whomever god one prays for, it is the Lord Khrishna who answers them anyway." Or something like that.... == Which god? == Actually, the Jews are God's "chosen people", but He established a different covenant with the New Testament, one that fulfills the prophecy of the Old Testament.
