On the usage of the word God

-
I am a Christian. My idea of God is very different from say a Hindu, yet the Hindu also uses the word God to describe the Creator entity in his religion. Now it can be said though my Creator share some characteristic as the Hindu one that is they were believed to have created the World and Universe but their other characteristics are so different that they cannot be considered one and the same. The question is whether I have the right to prevent the Hindu from using the word 'God' in describing his 'God' just because I didn't think that his 'God' was the same as mine and because I am of the opinion that his 'God' was not true? Now if we extrapolate to the current issue bedevilling Malaysians. I believe in Moses, Aaron, Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, Jacob, David, and Solomon. Now the Muslim may quibble with me whether Jesus was divine or just a prophet and I will disagree with him regarding the when the time of the prophets ended. But we share more similarities than differences and if Moses, Aaron, Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, Jacob, David and Solomon didn't worship Allah/ Elohim/ Alaha/ Elaha then who did they worship?

Its side effects some known but most unknown. Some in the form of colouring, preservative, flavouring, or sweetener. Others in the form of medicines and cleaning agents. Everything is artificial and synthetic, from the food to the light. Who knows what effects there are on our development, our minds, our hormones, our behaviour, and our well-being. Modern Man mistakes snark and sarcasm for wisdom, wealth and pleasure for accomplishment, hedonism for success, and consensus for righteousness. Many do not hold an original thought or have an doubt or skepticism as they appeal to authority and appeal to the major

Better sanitation will do more to help with development than more monetary aid . Before Malaysia can call itself developed I think everyone and this will include even the Orang Aslis and the Sabah and Sarawak Natives in the deepest jungles should have access to clean water and sanitatation. From the look of this: It can be done without the need for too much money only that the cronies won't make money.
