follower of Hinduism......? Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all monotheistic religions. Conversely, A follower of Hinduism or Buddhism can be anything from an atheist to a polytheist.

1) Why do you think people, but not all people, believe in some type of Ultimate Reality?
2) Why do you think Judaism, Christianity, and Islam insist that Ultimate Reality is just one entity?
(I know we have yet to cover Islam in this course, so you may just talk about Judaism and
Christianity).
a) What are some benefits of monotheism over polytheism?
3) Why do you think some religious traditions conceive Ultimate Reality has made up of many
entities or facets?
a) What are some benefits of polytheism over monotheism?
b) Could you make the argument that Christianity is polytheistic? Why or Why not?

"Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all monotheistic religions."

islam doesnt accept this.christians and jews dont know what monotheism means. they dont know even what god means.

if you ask help from any other one beside God(Allah or as christians say Father or as jews say Yahweh, you are polytheist

if you obey secular laws, you are again polytheist

God means something that is obeyed or worshipped.If you obey kosher laws as a jew you take God as god but if you obey man made laws in other issues you associate partner to God in making law and you have a second god (that is parliamentary) beside real God

its all about location. Islam, Christianity, and Judaism were all born in the same region.

Just like Buddhism and Hinduism share many similarities because they were born in the same region.

Why do most Native peoples around the world worship nature? Its not chance, but environment.

Allah is one. Jesus was one of the nicest and most honest men on earth. He was a Messenger of God, not His son. Allah knows future but Jesus is not coming back, at least not according to Quraan and common sense (though most Muslims and all christians believe he is coming back).
Please know that judgment day is coming and you still have time to prepare. God did not create you for no reason. You have a choice to go to hell or heaven.
Please use your head and choose wisely, decide now before your time is up.
Read Quraan, Know the facts.

10:36 But most of them follow nothing but fancy: truly fancy can be of no avail against truth. Verily Allah is well aware of all that they do.

53:28 But they have no knowledge therein. They follow nothing but conjecture; and conjecture avails nothing against Truth.

47:14 Is then one who is on a clear (Path) from his Lord, no better than one to whom the evil of his conduct seems pleasing, and such as follow their own lusts?

3)-b- it goes against every single little belief in Christianity that there are more than one God. Christians believe in ONE God, the Blessed Trinity.

Gee, why are you even taking this course if you are not doing your own work? I am sure that there are other students at your school where you could discuss these questions. Asking others to answer these questions for you is a form of plagiarism, unless you give these people who answer your questions credit and you use their ideas.

Why not try and research your own answers. A lifetime student, self-educated as well as formal schooling, has colored my answer. DO YOUR OWN WORK, OR IT WILL NEVER BE OF USE TO YOU.

Even if you do not plan on using this information, if you do your own thinking someday it will be found useful in your life.
