Please, I'm very eager to know why. (And if anyone says "Because the muslims worship Alla" then you obviously havent used your brains and figured out that that is the Arabic name for God)
I have my own question allong these same lines. What makes the followers of modern religion so sure that their god is the only one that ever was? I think that the Greeks,Romans,Egyptians,Mayans,Incas,Hindus,and Native Americans all had quite a few diffrent gods long before the first stories of the old testament even hint at takeing place. All of thoes civilizations cant be wrong.

It is also why I dont believe in any form of god. There are far too many contradictions in logic for me to place any faith in that stuff.
