All life emanates from the one source.Is this a possibilty? I often wonder if we keep stories or the myths of the gods from ancient civilizations alive through stories or beliefs. Do you think we create them within the spiritual realm?

The path to spiritual fullfillment has many paths. For one person it requires many gods. For others it requires one. For still others no god is required at all.
And even those who claim one god.... each one of those people, if they have given the subject serious thought, has their own interpretation of the god of the creed they subscribe to.
There is no one truth path. There are as many gods as there are people. And there is nothing wrong with that at all.

Yes we do create them within the spiritual realm and that's the insanity of it all, we all come from one source and that source for me is God the creator of all things, It is the religious institutions that preach and quote from many different sources of books and ancient stories, and it is their interpretation and manipulation to control the flock, people in general are like sheep they give their power away to their leaders of the institute, this makes it easy to manipulate them into believing things that simply may not be true, a perfect example of that is the Islamic religion, now I am not just centring out them, because all religious institutions are not exempt from the travesties they create for man kind.

All gods are one god because we made them all for the same reason. At some point in time somebody couldn't explain why the hell that river flooded the same time every year so they made a god that supposedly controlled it. Then a man that had full function of his brain said "Hey dude, there is a good reason that river does that, no gods needed." So then that god is virtually dead. But some time or another another person who doesn't understand something and so thinks it must be magic will make up another god, or to tell what happens when you die they make a god, it is simply the reluctance to admit that no one knows what the hell is going on.
Hence the similarities between the gods that lead to this question, they were all created for similar reasons so show similar characteristics.

No I believe there are as many Gods and Goddess's out there as their are beliefs. If you ask a room full of ppl what they believe and there are 50 ppl in there you are going to get 50 different replies. Its just the way it is and I say GOOD FOR YOU!. Its time the world woke and up and realized everyone is different and unique and it shouldnt matter what they believe as long as they believe in SOMETHING. A good arguement/debate I like to start is Aethists do not believe in a higher power......they believe in nothing....but that is a belief system so they believe in SOMETHING also right? Try figuring that one out. They dont like it much lol

There is only one true God. Everyone is born with a knowledge of Him, but through choices and experiences we lose touch. The journey back is the spiritual journey. Other than that, mankind creates many gods to substitute and fill the void, the empty place, that only the true God can fill.

I believe the answer is no. Because God has a identity just as you and I. The Gods of the different religions contradict one another in character, nature, and in truth. So theres no way they can all be the same.

According to the Bible, there is only one true God. He is the God of the Old and New testaments. The Bible tells there is only one other supernatural being with his angels, interacting with life on earth. And that being wants to be worshiped like he is God. Most people who think they are worshiping the true God are really worshiping the false one. Muslim's worship a false god, Hindu's worship many false gods, Buddha is a false god. Wicca and Satanists worship a false god. Many who claim to be Christian but do not follow the Bible are worshiping a false god. These gods are all different than the one true creator God whose Son died for the sins of mankind. Only one path of worship leads to the one true God and that path is by way of the death of Christ on a cross. Sincerity is worthless, if one is sincerely wrong. Continued worship of a false god when the message of the true God is given you is a recipe for eternal death. Jesus said there are many false prophets. If they do not teach according to the law and the prophets (the Bible) there is no truth in them. If there is no truth in them they are worshiping a false god.

Yes. There is only One God who has been represented differently through each culture!

I say yes, they are all a face of the Divine. Look at all the myths or religious writings and they all pretty much say the same thing. Don't kill, don't steal, don't harm others, ect.

Pretty much. Different facets of the same diamond, viewed by the culture in a way that met its needs at the time.
