The authentic God has no need of anyone bowing down or adoration or fear or any nonsense like that.
Ego is exclusively a human weakness.
Humans made up a human god who looks and thinks and behaves like them, who smites their enemies and coddles them for being good little slaves.
The true God is lightyears beyond that primitive effigy described in ancient texts.

No, I bow to Jehovah, the creator, who is a part of the Godhead consisting of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

I think we've all bowed down to the same god at least once in our lives, it's called bowing to the porcelain alter chanting the mystical chants of Ralph. Blaaaaaa!
After a night of bingeing.

No, we are not all bowing to the same God. Slight research into different religions would prove my point.

We do all bow to the same God, but He/She/It may appear to us or be perceived to us, differently than to the next person. Since we have never seen God, we have different idols of worship that we feel are the truest images of God in our hearts.
Whether you praise Allah, Bhudda, Jesus, etc. we are really lifting our hearts to one God.
That God has a different image to each of us depending on the religious beliefs of your church/temple family.

Are you kidding? If you want to know who your god is, look in your cheque book.
As Bob Dylan said, "You gotta serve somebody - it might be the devil and it might be the Lord - but you gotta serve somebody."
God created you for worship. If you don't worship the true God you will worship a false one.
But don't kid yourself. All paths do not lead to the same place.
Jesus said, "Wide is the way that leads to destruction and many are on it. Narrow is the path that leads to life and few there be that find it."

If God is truth how can all of the religoins have the same God when they so clearly contradict each other?
(Deuteronomy 6:4) Jehovah our God is one Jehovah
(1 Corinthians 8:4-6) There is no God but one. For even though there are those who are called “gods,” whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many “gods” and many “lords,” there is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him
Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6). Anyone who has read the Qur’an and compared it to the Bible knows that the Muslims do not believe in this statement by Jesus, nor in the God of the Old and New Testaments; therefore, it is quite clear that the Islamic faith does not pay homage to the God of Christianity.
Here are just a few differances between God and allah the muslim God,
The God of the Quran
The Quran explicitly denies the Trinity, and that Jesus is God.1 “Associating partners with God,” such as saying that Jesus is God, is a heinous sin in Islam.2 In Islam, Jesus is a human prophet. Period. 3 God is a distant monarch ruling over his subjects or a sovereign master ruling over his slaves. God is completely unique and in no way like anything created.4 God loves only those who love him and obey his commands. He does not love those who do not first love him.5 God offers forgiveness for repentance and good works. But the thought of God Himself paying the penalty for sin is repugnant, and an insult to the nature of God. Nor can anyone bear the sins of another.6
God orders his people to physically fight unbelievers until Islam dominates the world.7 The founder of Islam, Muhammad, spent the latter part of his career fighting his enemies and other unbelievers. His closest followers, heeding his example, conquered for themselves a vast empire.
The true God of the Bible The Bible explicitly affirms that Jesus is God. 3 The Bible portrays God in terms of intimacy that would be offensive, or blasphemous in Islam. God is portrayed as a father, lover, husband, tender shepherd, mother hen protecting her chicks, and “God with us.” God created man in His image, imbuing man with his likeness. This very notion is offensive to Islam. God loved us while we were yet sinners and sought us out to save us. God Himself, in the Person of His Son, personally paid the penalty for our sins on the cross. Muslims deny this in that they consider it impossible that even a prophet would be allowed to die such a humiliating and accursed death, let alone God Himself. The God of the Bible orders Christians to pray for and bless their enemies. They are to spread their faith through preaching and good works. When Jesus was arrested, he rebuked the disciple who tried to defend him with a sword, and healed the man who was wounded in the incident, and then quietly submitted Himself to those who arrested and ultimately crucified him

No. You are all bowing to your own concepts of gods.
