why does it seem that different religions argue amongst each other? if everyone believes in god then should it matter how different people of faith teach it? or is it the events that took place so long ago that are the cause for argument?

Everyone thinks that their religion is best. That's why I'm an atheist.

Funny that all the religions that fight have basically the same god. They dislike how we worship that God; and dislike the way the others tell the story about their god--poor imagery and all that.

My honest opinion... many people become devoted to their religion because it is a way of masking their insecurities and uncertainty of self and the nature of life. Therefore, when something threatens their carefully built up reality (aka, someone with a differing opinion of the concept of god), more likely than not they will vehemently and potentially violently defend their own views. It's a defensive mechanism; protection against all those scary things they've managed to shut out via their religious beliefs.

I'm not saying everyone is like that; just some.

A friend of mine was secretly dating a girl from a Muslim family for a while. It had to be secret because her family would flip p hard if they found out she was even socializing with guys. I tried to convince him that if he converted, he could marry her and up to three other women. He'd just have to accept some silly claims about the nature of the universe to get there.
