    Do Jews believe that Jesus is god? I didn't know that.

        They both claim to be additions to prior revelation. Muhammed seems to have gotten his ideas about Jews and Christians from unorthodox practitioners of both; it's not surprising that his ideas about God were unorthodox.

          yeah but Islam pretty much disavows the old testament in practice, mostly because they hate the Jews. I agree in principal they have the same God and for the purposes of my example with Jefferson, even if he claimed to be a muslim it would work the same.

            No, they believe in different gods.

              It seems he can not, or chose not to.

                This is incorrect. Like Jefferson, they have a different conception of the same God.

                  Some do, actually.
                  The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                      A matter of differing opinion. When you change who God is to the degree that Islam does, it is a different god, in my opinion.

                          • A question arises. Does the DoI mention god? And if it does, is the word a proper noun (God) or a generic noun (god)?
                            1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

                            • Did you really just ask that when the text is available online? There are five explicit references to God in the Delaration of Independence: twice as "God", and then "Creator", "Supreme Judge", and "Divine Providence", all capitalized.
                              Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
                              But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
                              Than a fool in the eyes of God


                              From "Fools Gold" by Petra

                              • So - when does any god other than the Christian god get assigned the proper noun? - apart from when it is the first word in a sentence, that is.
