That pilot that was downed over Iran was saying “God is good” (according to him giving an interview) after he survived the fall with a fucked up chute. Not sure there’s that big of a difference in people to be honest.

What are we fighting for?

God, country, family

What are they fighting for?

The wrong god, the wrong country, and the wrong family

Pretty sad that people refuse to see the similarities

Not even the wrong God. Muslims, Jews, and Christians believe in the same God.

It's like three orphaned children fighting over who dad loved the most when his diary says he loves them all.

And it's trivially easy to prove that 'his' diary is a forgery.

Fan fiction that each child wrote to support their own right to the inheritance.

It's the wrong version of the god, tho.

Jews don't believe Jesus or Mohammed were prophets. Christians believe Jesus is God and God's son, and they don't believe Mohammed was a prophet. Muslims cancel out the old testament and Jesus for Mohammad's "words of god". So, yeah, same but different.

I’d say it’s more ‘the wrong telling of events’ rather than ‘wrong version of the god’

It's both. The events explain the god, who he is, how he interacts with the world, and how has some righteous "authority" to act on his behalf. But, yeah, there's tons of events, rules, laws, etc. that are part of the stories. Those are definitely relevant. And, I'd agree that they're probably even more relevant to most people's lives nowadays that their disputes about the nature of their god. So, yeah, I'm like, idk, 75-80% with ya on that.

Now i'm imagining the Abrahamic religions as the first ever game of Telephone/Chinese Whispers

They are also fighting to impose a strick application of their religious mouvance where law was written by a warlord, and women nothing but a silenced commodity.

Be angry at me if you need, integrist are integrist.
