What is the deal with so many Gods?

Question

This religion has that God, this one has that, that one has that. So which one is the real one?

Answer 1

Jesus is God

Answer 2

Religion in itself is a very primitive ideal. Obviously as long as the human race persists in irrational and divisive thought processes our progress and capacity together is limited.

Seek your own faith quietly in your heart but whatever you do, do not condemn others in the name of it!

The 'gods' have had enough sacrifice from humanity.

Answer 3

and note how all of those gods resemble the people or animals within that region that the gods were originated. you would almost think they are made up by the locals.

Answer 4

Obviously people are going to hold their one up as real. No one, no matter what god they believe, believes that their god is false.

Answer 5

Its  like...different  characters  to the  same  story...but  the  same  character  made it all up!!

Answer 6

Who says that there even has to be a "real" one?  Maybe they are all aspects of the same thing and it's all down to personal perception.

Answer 7

Who says there has to be just one? Why shouldn't there be more than one? It makes no sense.

Answer 8

10,000 religions - 1 God with many names.

Answer 9

Obviously there is none.

Answer 10

They are all equally loony so I don't believe any of them

Answer 11

That's why the Bible says to "beware of the wolf in sheeps clothing".

The biggest lie is to believe in something"good". How can it be of the devil if it teaches you to be a good person?  But if it doesn't teach you about God's son, Jesus,  the end result is the same. Seperation from the one true God for eternity.  Even Mohammed, the prophet for the Muslim faith, received his vision from an "angel" that he feared was a demon. His vision created the Quoran, Muslim Bible.  Because we are God's creation all religions have a similar "fingerprint". Don't be deceived, if you seek Him he will open your eyes to the Truth.

Answer 12

The next time you pray. Pray to the one that hears you, knows you, feels what your feeling, more importantly loves you. That's the real one and he does not have a set religion but he does have a plan.

Answer 13

All religions are fundamentally flawed as the people who they're based around never said "form a religion around me"

Nor did they ever write the holy books themselves, they were written by other people and this immediately introduces a bias

They said "be like me"

Find people who are alive today that embody the characteristics you admire and aspire towards that

Answer 14

Everybody has different beleifs and different beleifs in God.

Answer 15

the real one is in your bible,the rest are fakes made up by false religions to suit there purpose there are many jesus's but there is only one true one and he's in your bible, people dont read their bible they think good people wont tell them wrong don't you be one!

Answer 16

They are all real.  

Answer 17

All of them.

Whichever you or I agree with is irrelevant.

Answer 18

the God himself is the real one and he is ALLAH

the reality of God is independent from our knowledge

Answer 19

i have no idea

Answer 20

Fact is there are many gods. But there is only one supreme God.

Answer 21

The one with the upper case "G"

Answer 22

Some gods are so similar to each other that you can conclude it is the same god spoken about in two different ways by two different religions.

The Judaism god and the Christian god is the same God, people forget that one sometimes.

Jesus' birthday (25th December date) is shared by the birthday of many gods.

Answer 23

Maybe they're all the same real God -- with different names.

Answer 24

There is only one true God.   He is the creator of Heaven and Earth and you and me.  He is Jehovah God.  But there are other false 'gods' and there are many of them.

Answer 25

I believe that we are all relating to a similar belief but approaching it from different angles based on our cultures and the people who have inspired a particular belief system from which a religion has sprung.

I guess, what I am trying to say there can be only one God but the names we have chosen to assign are different.

At the end of the day whether we call him Thot, Zeus, Jupiter, Allah, God or any other name ascribed I believe we are all talking about the same concept.

Answer 26

Much confusion! Fact is, there is only one Universal Presence that is present everywhere, known as the Father, God, and a thousand other names in various countries and their languages. So names are not important. It is the connection to the higher energies which permeate the universe - that is important - our oneness with our Creator.

Man creates images of God in his mind and gives God many of the human qualities that we have, from anger, jealousy, wrath, and vengeance, plus more, but this is man's limited intellect at work. We need to rise above this personal imagery and realize the universality of the Divine Being. "We live and move and have our being in Him."
