Interesting. Thanks for that info.
Yeah, we're not going to agree on that! 
Panda, do you know why the muslims accept Jesus as a prophet if He (Jesus) claimed to be God and accepted worship from people? Seems like they'd reject a person like that entirely? Maybe ksa_triceps could answer too please?
Actually Tre is right, protestants do accept the Trinity.
Panda, I thought I read that Buddism doesn't really have a God? Not sure about that though.
completely wrong stella:
1: jesus never claimed he was god - feel free to post a passage from the bible though to prove me wrong
you can't because he never uttered the phrase 'i am god'.
2. tre is dead wrong on all counts from his understanding of how christianity was formed to protestants accepting the holy trinity - they do not at all in any capacity accept the holy spirit - unless american protetsants follow some other form of christianity closer to catholic chrstianity.
3. buddha did not like to talk about god. He says it is a useless question, and many times refused to even answer the question. However on a few occassions he did:
When Ananthapindika, a wealthy young man met the Buddha at the bamboo groove at Rajagriha, the Buddha made a few statements about the existence of God and the real cause behind the creation of beings in this world. These views are summarized as below:
1. If God is indeed the creator of all living things, then all things here should submit to His power unquestioningly. Like the vessels produced by a potter, they should remain without any individuality of their own. If that is so, how can there be an opportunity for any one to practice virtue?
2. If this world is indeed created by God, then there should be no sorrow or calamity or evil in this world, for all deeds, both pure and impure, must come from Him.
3. If it is not so, then there must be some other cause besides God which is behind Him, in which case He would not be self-existent.
4. It is not convincing that the Absolute has created us, because that which is absolute cannot be a cause. All things here arise from different causes. Then can we can say that the Absolute is the cause of all things alike? If the Absolute is pervading them, then certainly It is not their creator.
5. If we consider the Self as the maker, why did it not make things pleasant? Why and how should it create so much sorrow and suffering for itself?
6. It is neither God nor the self nor some causeless chance which creates us. It is our our deeds which produce both good and bad results according to the law of causation.
7. We should therefore abandon the heresy of worshipping God and of praying to him. We should stops all speculation and vain talk about such matters and practice good so that good may result from our good deeds.
The Buddha did not encourage speculation on the existence of God among his disciples. He wanted them to confine themselves to what was within their field of awareness, that is, to understand the causes of suffering and work for its mitigation.
He preached that initially each being was a product of ignorance and illusion and subject to suffering, karma and transmigration. He therefore urged his disciples to contemplate upon the Four Noble Truths, practice the Eightfold path, lead a virtuous life by performing good deeds and works towards their final liberation from all becoming and changing.
