But then remember that even if you believe according to the western religious traditions, remember that God's moral dictates have been directly given only to a select few -- like Abraham, Moses, etc. The rest has been written down in scriptures, or interpreted from that which is written down in scriptures. It's not hard to believe that traditional morals (according to scriptural traditions) are not exactly how God would feel on the issue were you able to ask him.

I don't particularly believe in God, but if I did I would never be able to believe that he had as many arbitrary prejudices that humans do. In fact I think people's prejudice towards others is frankly godless.

A concious "god"

People just fight over the "Consciousness" of such a "god".

And "god" is the name of the christian creator of all thing's...

Muslim's would never call the maker of them self's and all thought and madder by the name "god", they call such an entitie by the name "Allah".

Even tho the concept is the same, the book's that speak of there conciousness are greatly diffrent, so people just fight over the told conciousness of there divine entitie's, even tho those entitie's are the same concept which is, the start or orgin of all thought's and madder...

(also people that are godless normaly dont care about such intelectly based thought's of a concept of where everything came from, there mostly thinking about everyday thing's of the physical kind aka money, food, water, shelter, ect.)

Intelect mean's--> Understanding of a higher knowlage.

The word Allah in arabic is synonymous with the word "God", and Muslims who speak English use the words interchangeably. So the word is effectively the same, including the history of God as described in Biblical sources. It's actually the concept that differs, because different religious traditions alternatively describe God's role in our lives and in the world.

God is a concept used to describe and explain the unknown and spiritual side of life as well as to keep order in a society by offering a set of rules for which no one person must be accountable.
Some people need to believe in a higher being for their own peace of mind and I don't see a problem with that. The problem arises when groups of people claim to have a closer knowledge of god's wishes than others do (such as priests). God is within each and every person and whether you are catholic, muslim or agnostic, when you are in touch with your inner/spiritual self and have an awareness of the mystery of the world around you, then you are in touch with god. No one person can know another's god, and no person can bestow or withold godliness from another. It is all within and organized religion merely provides a framework within which to discuss our position in the world and our obligations to each other in our socitey.
To answer your question, if you disagree with your god, then it isn't really your god. You need to look within yourself to see what your inner heart tells you is right and wrong. The method is incindental, if you pray, meditate, take drugs, or just daydream under a tree it is all the same - the idea is to keep in touch with what your spirit is saying and to follow the promptings of your heart. Many people for whatever reason have lost touch with this ability, or have been brainwashed into thinking that they are unable to make such conclusions on their own and so subscribe to organized religion for guidance. Blindly following doctrines written by god only knows who (pardon the pun ) that have been interpreted back and forth for hundreds and hundreds of years is not wise. All learnings must be tempered with individual experience and personal judgement.
