To each, their own belief, until that belief causes them to harm others.

You may find me to be lost or blind. I may find you to be deluded. But so long as neither of us attempts to harm the other, there is no harm in our differing views.

The word of God is absolute truth. Where the truth becomes relative is when mankind begins to translate or interpret the word of God.

I could call myself Muslim, Jew, Christian etc but I still believe in the same God, all that changes is my belief in mankinds interpretations of Gods words (which if we are truthful the basis of peace, tolerance, charity, etc change very little between the religions).

Whose God? It is all very well saying that you worship the same God as Jews and Christians, you do as their God comes from the same origin, but the Gods of Shinto, Hinduism, Jainism do not share the same origin or background as yours. Their truths are different. What about the Gods from the dead religions ie: Greek, Roman, Egyptian? At one time their Gods where more relevant than yours. Never know, in another 2000 years time Islam could have changed by your recognition or even gone the same way as the old religions and something else could be there instead. How do you pick and choose the right truth.? It is subjective to your beliefs, there is no absolute truth for any Gods.

I wonder how can it be possible for anyone or any religion to own God?

The only God worth searching for is the creator of the universe, of all that is seen and unseen.

In the spirit of searching for God

Eric just brought up a good point, which is the phenomena of "God ownership". I think that is a big part of religious "truth" to many people.
