that's just not true, although it is true a fundamental goal of abrahamic religion is the destruction of other faiths. No other religious movements have been near so capable of exterminating other beliefs. We did it so well we basically don't understand how paganism worked in europe correctly anymore.

While I was being hyperbolic, the Abrahamic religions are all monotheistic, share the origins of a book of faith, all answer the same question about the Messiah/prophet/son of god. In Christianity, Jesus is the prophet and came to earth, but did not set up his kingdom here and never will. In Judaism, the prophet has not arrived yet, but will arrive and set up his kingdom on earth. In Islam, the prophet was Muhammad and organised a just society in Medina.

Three metaphysical entities, or one? It's interesting to think about.

Dude do not make me start talking about the Gnostic Christians or the Marcionites. They believed Old Testament God (Yaldabaoth) was evil and made the world, and that New Testament God was good but unknowable and ethereal. Referred to like a godlike being in Star Trek almost.

But point is each one has vastly different interpretations even internally
