@Whizidd, interesting reading. Learnt something new there.
Anyway did you know the following:
The ‘Brahma Sutra’ of Hinduism, of the Vedanta - ‘Akkum Braham Dusta Nastim - Niya nastim Kincham’ . There is only one God, not a second one, not at all, not all, not in the least bit.
So if you read the Hindu Scriptures, you will understand the concept of God, in Hinduism the scriptures have always mentioned that their is one God.

@peterkay, all hindus contradictory to the popular belief believe in one god! Idol worship is not worshipping anybody "other" than the almighty. Its the way one perceives things!

@peterkay, i believe on this. All these various manifestations of religion, in whatever shape or form they come to mankind, have this one common central basis. It is the preaching of freedom, the way out of this world. They never come to reconcile the world and religion, but to cut the Gordian knot, to establish religion in its own ideal, and not to compromise with the world. That is what, i believe every religion preaches.

@PeterKay - interesting link to the English version of the Quran - I've bookmarked it, although I'm not religious I'm always interested in different religions and how they work!
I've seen a few programmes and read a few things on an ancient Egyptian pharoah called
Akhenaten who was the first, and only pharoah to believe in there only being one God. He set up his own religion based around a sun-god, the one god and built a city around this new religion. Sucessive pharoah declared this heresy, and scorned it.
There is a line of thinking that this 'one god instead of many' idea may be behind many of today's 'one God' religions, including Christianity, Islam, Judaism, etc., and that they may have originated from Akhenaten and his followers' ideas.

@Sammy_boy, good point and well explained.
I personally feel that from the day that God created Adam till today and the days till the hearafter - There HAS only been
One God and will remain to be
One God. He is the One who we will have to answer to on the day of resurrection. He will question on regarding this short life of ours and what we have done, who we have worshipped and what deeds have you bought forward.
What are your thoughts on the hearafter @Sammy_boy?

Found a bit more on Akhenaten and modern religion
here I apologise now for all the adverts and crap surrounding it, and it's the only thing I've found after a quick Google search, I don't think it's particuarly good research (more an opinion) but it illustrates the idea a bit more.
@PeterKay - with regards to the hereafter/afterlife, I'm afraid to say I don't believe in it. I don't believe we turn into some sort of noncorporeal life form and go on to another place - though I do wish that I did believe that. I do wonder if the concepts of 'heaven' and 'hell' were created to stop us all going doolally because we realised that when we died it was game over. Do not pass go. Do not collect £200
I'm sorry to say I'm too cynical a person to believe.
I'll leave you with an approximate quote from Red Dwarf's Kryten - "what, no Silicone heaven, but where to all the calculators go?" (Apparently photocopiers go to Silicone Hell.... which is probably where my old computer is!
)
