"i HAVE THE proof that GOD commanded MANKIND ONLY TO WORHIP HIM (ALONE)" What proof? The holy books of Abrahamic faiths? That's not proof - there's no proof it was written by God and not by humans. You cant claim a holy book is the truth because it states very clearly that it is true. Or its believers claim that it is true. That's a retarded argument...
First, prove any God exists in the first place. Nobody has ever proven that. So, the question of how many gods there are, is speculative, given that the very idea of god is speculative. You dont know if god actually exists and even if one exists, whether god is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent and benevolent. So even that is speculative - maybe God is not omnipotent or maybe not benevolent.
So, one set of unsubstantiated claims are as good or as bad as any other. The first step to proving which theory is correct is to prove that the being whose existence it espouses actually exists. Right now, it is pure speculation.
Is man god's biggest mistake, or is god man's biggest mistake?

My humble input is as follows.
Life is all about Realization. We talk about faith only when we are weak. When we are strong we give daam about our faith and faith is replaced by desire.
When it comes to other Creations other than Humans, God still exists for them, isn't it? But do they realize?
Our Religious books are written by people who have realized in their life time, and tell us in trumpet voice, that they have Seen the Soul, they have Seen The God. And they have tried their best to tell us all about how to live in this world. Each of them has preached their own ways, but those ways are only to make one reach a level from where he/she can move forward Alone in their state of realization.
Worships of different forms is only a simple medium to increase the spiritual reflexes of mind. No form whatsoever is cursed as long as it adhere basic principles of living i.e. "Thou not Hate Creation as its Create by Me". Even the criminals or thugs or prostitutes or terrorists or politicians are God's Own Creation and need not be seen with Hatred eyes.
Path of Enlightenment is to enlighten yourself first than looking at your neighbors. Once enlightened, your grace falls on others, you need not speak it out, it communicates through ether silently.
God is in everyone’s heart whether he/she has faith or not. To see him, one needs to close their eyes and looking inwards. So long there is hunger,fear, uncertainties and death; so long there will be a Faith in God.

Dear Maximum...
Ignore the write ups (cut paste tricks) of people like testing life. These are inspired by what are taught in their madarassas. They spew venom on all the religeons other than their own with one point or other
