Potpourri of all "gods" ....

That says absolutely nothing of any value.

You put together a mish mash and manage to evade the costs of following truth and ethical behavior. You refuse to believe that you and every man has sin (evil). How do I know that?? Because the Jesus you claim to believe in was sent as not just another wing ding prophet, but as God's way of erasing sinful man's distance from the Perfect God of all truth and righteousness.

A perfect God of truth cannot stand side by side with men who have unpaid debt (sin) residing within them. The sin has to be resolved. It is in the nature of the perfect God that he can't spend eternity in the presence of unresolved sin/debt. That is hard cold fact that says a man has to step up and buy into following truth and righteousness despite the cost. God paid the massive majority of the cost himself for the mankind he loved. What does that say of men who can't take the next step of acknowledging what God did? God chooses men who pay all costs to align themselves with righteousness and truth.

Islam is a poor copy of a mish mash of what? That, again, is not a hateful statement. I give you your love for a God. The only problem is discerning the correct one. Islam took what good it could distort out of Jesus word. You are attracted to the scant little righteousness the wrong version could drag out. You are attracted to a good and righteous God. You attach the wrong ideology to that God.

Allah originated from the name of a pagan moon godess who preceded Muhammed.

Our mutual belief in Moses and various other prophets only means we both got off on the right footing. Somebody got off track. The mutuality does not excuse the aberration.
