    I personally believe that Christians, Muslims and Jews all go to heaven because they believe in the same God.
    Jesus said "I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14v6)

    Biblical Christianity contradicts the Muslim belief that we can get through to God via our own means. Biblical Christianity shows that someone can only go to Heaven if they fully trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.
    Jews reject that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Messiah and hence they will not go to Heaven since they do not trust in Christ for the forgiveness of their sins.

    The God of the Bible is a Just, Righteous and Loving God, which the Qur'an disagrees with.

    Why did it pop into existence? If you think that the universe is eternal then you're arguing against the big bang theory aka science.
    What do you mean why? It just did. And, no you aren't. It's a common misconception that the big bang theory states the universe popped into existence, it doesn't state that. Big bang theory isn't about the origin of the universe.

    And are these Gods omniscient and omnipotent? Who believes in God would also believe in it's angels of death etc. those angels might have been called Gods because of their certain powers?
    Yes.

    The Egyptians had the Kherepu, like the Hebrew Cherub'im (Kruvim)

    If you're questioning someone then you're to some degree disagreeing with him. You still haven't told me that logic that points against a God.
    The lack of evidence for him?

    How is it selfish to believe in a God? Pascal's argument was not for religion, he was merely talking about God.
    I well it would be selfish because you would be trying to trick god by lying in order to benefit from personal gain (getting into heaven). However this is a stupid idea because if God is all knowing, He knows that you were lying and smite yo ass.

    I'm happy that the disbelievers go to hell, if God told the consequences of disbelieving
    That kind of makes you a sadist. If I was God, I wouldn't want people like you in my heavenly kingdom that is filled with nice people. people that don't want to know people are being eternally punished for whatever reason.

    just as I'm happy that students fail their course, if they haven't studied for it, if the University told the consequences (which they did).
    Thats suggesting that everybody has the same resources, books, equipment and start the course at the same time. What if you are born into a tribe out in the rain-forest that hasn't had 'outside' communication and believe in a different god. Hardly a fair course. Some people get born into a specific religious household therefore not only do they have the resources of religious text, but also get half of their coursework done for them by their parents.
