Is There an Interfaith God?
http://www.onpointradio.org/2010/04/is-there-an-interfaith-god

We’ve heard the mantra so often that it can seem like obvious truth: all religious paths lead, ultimately, to one God — to one great universal.
Since the 1960s — and even before that — it’s been the great message and hope of open-minded believers seeking peace and unity.
But my guest today says “no.” God, says scholar of religion Stephen Prothero, is not one. All paths do not lead to the same “cosmic mountaintop.”
And if we pretend otherwise, Prothero says, we may be stuck with the opposite of peace and understanding. --- So, who’s right?
