I was daydreaming in class one day and a question popped into my mind.
Why do people believe in there god but dismiss other deities? Why do they think they are following the correct higher power?
Also, it helps when the certain religions (Islam, Christianity, Judaism) are not compatible with other religions.
Agreed, Willy. For the most part, folks do not understand that they are projecting their ideals onto "unknown reality". Rather than be content in the knowledge that there are things they do not know, and that doing so is perfectly ok -- if not desirable -- but rather have a deep seated need to explain that which they do not understand and it makes them feel all warm and fuzzy to think that "unknown reality" cares for and loves them back. "God" IS a compelling idea even if it doesn't tell us much about reality.One reason could be that they believe in the idea they hold of God. Believing in other people's thoughts is more difficult than believing your own ideas.

Because my God beat up all the other gods and took their milk money.:bow:
bully!
Why not?Why your god?
This would be a good reason if not for the premise that most people's idea of God is first taught or handed down to them. God is basically someone else's idea or began with another person's relationship with a self-proclaimed Supreme BEing. Though I understand what you are saying, I find it interesting what some people do add to each particular version.One reason could be that they believe in the idea they hold of God.

I don't know about other people, but that's one of the main reasons I didn't believe in God as a child.This would be a good reason if not for the premise that most people's idea of God is first taught or handed down to them.
