God is the creator of the universe in [[monotheism|monotheistic]] religions such [[Christianity]], [[Islam]], and [[Judaism]].[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/God] In the Christian and Jewish religions, His [[creation]] of man is described in the [[Book of Genesis]].

It's claimed that Christianity, Islam, and Judaism worship the same God in different ways. This claim is regarded by some as a way to convert Jews and Christians to Islam, since it supports the idea that Abrahamic religion has "grown" from Judaism to Christianity to Islam.<ref>http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/moongod.htm</ref> However, many are skeptical of this idea.<ref>http://www.letusreason.org/Islam6.htm</ref>

Common powers attributed to God include [[omnipotence]] (the ability to do anything) and [[omniscience]] (the ability to know anything) although even that level of detail is not common throughout all monotheists{{Fact|date=March2007}}. Many believers in God also believe that he eternally punishes the wicked in [[hell]] and eternally rewards the righteous in [[heaven]] and variants of this theme are found in all the Abrahamic faiths.

Pascal's wager

Dexlysic:

Pascal's wager is a philosophical proposition which takes the following form:

----

Christianity must be either true or false. If you bet that it's false and that God does not exist, and you are correct, then you will have lived an honest life without fear or regrets.

If it's true, then you've still enjoyed a happy life, but God will show his true colors and punish you for enjoying your freedom for the little time you have it.

But if you bet that Christianity is true, and it turns out to be false, then you will have wasted your life following the rules of a nonexistent father figure, spening it cowering in fear of his nonexistent wrath.

However, if it is true, then your life on earth will still have been a waste, but then you will also spend eternity in hell, since gambling is a cardinal sin in the eyes of God.

Dick Cheney serves as the Vice President of the United States, first elected in 2000 along with President George W. Bush. Cheney was reelected along with President Bush by the Supreme Court in 2004. On February 11, 2006, while hunting quail, Cheney mistook his friend's face for a small bird and opened fire. This marked the second time in history that a sitting U.S. Vice President shot someone, the first being when Aaron Burr shot and killed Alexander Hamilton during a duel.
