Messenger and the Message

As I was coming from Tuscon on Sunday, my friend Kathy made a statement which well made me think for a brief second. Usually not a thinker, more like an analyzer, and well i guess i analyzed the statement she made. She said ” her God”, refering to Allah, during a small conversation about a mutual friend. Obviously she did not intend any harm or try be offensive, because I believe she is an aetheist or atleast she says she is, but yet the fact that she { Kathy } is a Roman Catholic and refering to her friend’s God as “her God” was quite remarkable. The concept that made the two words remarkable is the fact that all Muslims, Christians and Jews believe in the one and same God but they have different Messengers. If you talk to any Muslim, Christian or Jew, or most of the ones that I have spoken to, it seems that they give more priority to the Messenger of God rather than God himself. So when she was refering to our friend’s God , she was actually talking about her God.So why do people talk like that? So my question is, is language the barrier for these three religions or is it pride that makes them separate beacause each one wants to hold onto his/her messenger to be the true knight of God??? This makes me feel that God’s message is not as worth as from whom it came. I mean take alook at the Bible and it says “Help the Poor” and the Quaran says the same thing. Yet what seems to be more important is that Jesus Christ said ” Help the Poor” and Mohammad said that in another language. What seems more important is that the Bible was written in Latin and Quaran in Arabic. So what does this all mean in my head??? People give more priority to who gave the word of God than the word of God or God himself …..
