Well my problem with considering other peoples religions is that I believe their "god(s)" are just demigods to the bigger picture, so any religion such as Christianity, Hinduism, Buddha, you name it if it has a god(s) in my belief 'structure' they are all just demigods, and so I guess not to insult anyone Jesus would just be the son of a demigod an just like the other X amount of prophets that fell to the earth to guild.

I guess in retrospect I can almost believe that these gods quarrel with each other and use 'prophets' and their risen followers to help strengthen their power over the world through belief and worship, and try to have people not acknowledge the other gods so that the ones that their quarreling with will have no power over its followers. It’s kind of like the more someone believes in something the stronger it becomes theory.

So why some religions consider other religions devil worship can be explained through that, or it simply could be explained that people fear what they do not understand, or they bad mouth others in hopes to keep their followers following.

It worked for a short time with slavery…… (dont take that the wrong way I dont condon what was done)
