Smart answer? What's wrong with you?
You claimed humans have only been on this planet for 6000yrs which is clearly not the case. I asked you to back up your claim and you threw your toys out the pram like a big baby accusing me of looking for an argument. Which was really a diversion tactic so you didn't have to answer my question.
All the other religions are a result of Satan, except the one you follow?

How can you possibly claim to know this? If there is a god, he certainly would not consider himself bound by human religions. There may be a god, with all earthly religions being imperfect strivings toward him. In this sense, there is no "Christian" god, or "Islamic" god, there would only be a god who patiently watches mankind flail away in their misguided attempts to understand him.

Religious groups who think they alone have what they call Truth and that salvation is dependent on knowing this Truth, is going to be in for the biggest shock when Christ returns. They are suffering from the kind of arrogant delusion similar to the Pharisees who Christ condemned. Chief of these are the Jehovah Witness. They think they have the salvation mark ...[text shortened]... science guides them to do whats right, they will be found worthy of salvation on judgment day.

Any god is attached to only their religion, or is attached only to their followers' views of what is a/the legitimate religion.
Either that or it seemed as though you were claiming to know what such a god would think about worldly religions. If there is a god I don't see how we can assume he is a Christian god, or a Muslim god. Maybe there is a god who has no use for any of them.
