----: Good Analogy though. Also, recently i ordered a HTC phone for my wife but she told me she would keep my i-phone and gave me that HTC. The reason why i ordered HTC was to see what would be the difference. Actually i did not even order for myself and she gave me as a gift.
Now i am exploring it and liking it so far.
One thing i did not know i will have HTC. When i came to US, majority of my friends started to carry cell phone right away. I did not get it for almost a year. I was thinking to myself why we need cell phone. I was old school back than. Later i got cel-phone and i had flat tires couple of times, and my friends came and rescued me as i did not know how to change tires. That time i thanked God for cell phone.
Samething with Islam and other religions. I was taking World religion Class at college and my professor told me we should go and visit other place of worship to get extra credit. I visited church. One of my friends, Thomas tried his best to convert me to Christinity saying i would go to hell if i did not believe Jesus as my savior. I did not feel threatened by his words. I moved on.
I was Sai follower and used to read book about Siddhi Baba and Sai Baba. Sometimes watch their video also. Once Siddhi Baba said: "Sab ka Malik Allah". I was suprised and wondered for few days. I asked one of my friends for a copy of the Qur'an. He brought me a English translation of Qur'an. I started reading it. I could not understand it. I asked my Muslim friend if i could visit his mosque. He said: "Sure".
I visited Mosque on Friday. I felt peace that time and the thing about my Muslim friend was he did not tell me if i did not become Muslim i would go to hell. I wanted to go back again. I visited many times and liked it. Than i started to Qur'an more still could not understand it. So i wanted to read the Bible first so i started with the Bible. After finishing the Bible, i started to read Bhagavad Gita. After finishing Bhagavad Gita, i read the Qur'an and things started to make more sense.
After i finished reading Quran, i wanted to read Upanishads. I read few Upanishads. I came to conslusion that God is one.
I thanked God for this opportunity and the site i found: http://www.sacred-texts.com/
This is what i came to conclusion:

After reading translated versions of the Upanishads, the Bible and the Qur'an and i was amazed to find the similarities between the Upanishads, the Bible and the Qur'an. All talk about one God.
In Eastern concept, we say Manu and on western concept we say Noah: same type of flood.
Ram, Krishna, Buddha, Jesus, Sai Baba were good human beings but not God.
Why would the Creator of this universe would come to the earth and eat, use rest room, go to market?
He is the One who created everything to begin with. Let's go to the basic, definition of God: "To be free from human limitation."
We know Ram, Krishna, Buddha, Jesus, Sai Baba had every human limitation than how can they be God?
Who would control the universe if God takes a break to take a nap or use rest room?
God is not human being. He is unique and absolute. There is none comparable to Him.
Sanskrit: "Na tasya pratima asti"
English: "There is no likeness of Him." [Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:19]
Sanskrit: "Ekam evadvitiyam"
English: "He is One only without a second." [Chandogya Upanishad 6:2:1]
"God is not a man, that he should lie, nor the son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not make it good?" [The Bible, Numbers 23:19]
