I've read those descriptions (at least the version I've got) and they seem like they're more different than your examples, to me. Lesse... would it sound more like a Jewish Rabbi, a Catholic Bishop, and a Baptist Minister? Perhaps that's a little closer to my impression. You think these guys could agree on much of anything beyond who "the One" was?
Anybody that doesn't worship the way you do is automatically a heretic, right? And must be converted to "the right way"? Even in the friendliest of discussions you're going to have loud arguments and conversion attempts, won't you?
Also, I don't see anywhere that it states that each religion's God is considered to be the exact same one. We might logically assume that, but who says it has to be?
Even if they're the same God, if God tells us to do things that he wants done, and if he's telling each group to do a different thing, then he must be wanting something different somehow, and may in fact BE different, do you suppose?
(Well, you kinda asked for a philosophical argument, didn't you?)
