Doesn all religious literature basically say the same thing regarding the character of God and purpose of life?
No, if one takes the time to study the existing religious literature (there is too much for anyone to study it all!) they will find some common Moralistic themes but there are considerable variation in statements about the character of God and the ultimate purpose of life and death. A reading of various books in the area of Comparative Religions shows that scholars recognize that there are conflicting views which cannot be reconciled. They also admit that dedicated followers of the various world religions are not going to compromise strongly held beliefs.
