Please no sermons, just think about it then reply with your thoughts. [LOL - An impossible dream I know]
Atheists have a NO GOD
Agnostics have a MAYBE GOD, MAYBE NO GOD, and NOT SURE ABOUT GOD
Christians have a TRIUNE GOD, a FATHER GOD, a ONE GOD, a TWO-FOLD GOD, and a GOD WITH A SON JESUS
Muslims have an ALLAH GOD
Others have a MONEY GOD, POWER GOD, or about anything else that can be named as a GOD.
The Bible says GOD IS ONE. The Bible says YEA ARE GODS. [seems like many]. The bible say GOD IS SPIRIT. The Bible says GOD IS TRUTH
Sure are plenty of differently declared GODS by different resources and different individuals.
Is it at all possible that everone can have his own view of God that is best for him. Then if there is a day of judgement he or she will be judged based upon those standards?
Is not this one possible view? Sure would stop a lot of fights and name calling.

It seems quite likely that everyone is right. There is only one God, but there are as many different paths to the same God, as there are people on the planet.
The confusing part is YEA ARE GODS....which supposes that God has made us in his/her image.
That would simply everything....how could one person who believed they were created in God's image, possibly pass judgement on another who is also created in the image of the same God, although a different version of his/her creation.
I believe that you are correct in your view. It would stop arguing and name calling.

I find your question difficult to understand. I am guessing English is not your native language.
If you are just asking is it possible, of course it's possible. As they say, anything is possible. Is it likely? Or is it the reality? Those are the real questions, my friend.
There are about four main possibilities:
1. There is no god or, if there is he doesn't care what you believe. So it's safe to believe in any god or no god.
2. There is a god and he is a just god. How could he possibly blame any of us for getting anything wrong, when he has provided us with no clear evidence of anything?
3. There is a god and he is going to penalize anyone who gets it wrong, in spite of him hiding all the evidence. He mightn't look upon your idea very favorably.
4. There is a god and he is a complete and utter bastard. It's all a big joke to him and he'll do as he damn well pleases whatever we do.
Like all the rest of us, just hope that the truth lies somewhere in #1 or #2.

the RIGHT god is the god(s) that each individual is happy with. Some people are perfectly happy sitting on a bench listening to someone talk about god for and hour or two. Some like to take a more active role in their religion. I myself feel that i am the closest to my gods when i am outdoors. So each person must find thier own why to worship, and who knows maybe eveyone is worshiping the same higher power, just in different ways. As for being judged i feel each person will be judged by what he or she has done in their life, by weather or not they were mean and evil, or helpful. And this will determine what your soul will do next.

Your solution would certainly work if God were nothing more than your view point or mine.
In general your solution, minus the realities of death and evil, is the problem we already have. What we have is a planet with 6.5 billion gods expanding exponentially and nobody in charge.
The business of religion is to harness these conceptual gods into a single system so that the religious leaders can obtain worship and all the benefits that go with it.
Men are not separated by God; but by religious deception in the world and evil deception in their minds and hearts.
Your solution calls for integrity which God honors but few have. It is not my intention to "preach" but the problem is spiritual not intellectual, religious. social, etc.
While everyone has their own view of God that works best for them; it has not brought an end to human conflict. The conflict remains between good and evil.

Seems to me that too many people are concerned about God this or God that, when if fact we should be more concern with Jesus this and Jesus that. Without him there is NO Salvation.God IS GREAT,AND,GOD IS GOOD however we would not ever be clean enough to stand before God if it were not for Jesus.
All who believe in me shall not perish,but, have everlasting Life.
I am the Truth the way and the Light.
God is a title
Allah,Jehovah,Krisha are names.
Jesus is the Sacrificial Lamb.
This is ALL we need to know.

If you walk into any church and ask the parishioners to fully explain their beliefs you will get many different beliefs. It's a no brainer.
No two of us see the Universe or God the same way.
Our nature is to think independently ( when we are not being terrorized to believe somebody else's stupid demands that we believe in their own version ) ... just like a God would.
Yes, it is not only possible but probable that the way you see and understand God and the Universe is your own view. Congratulations on your understanding !
Simple, huh.

You are right. Many spirits claim to be God. And a person that is free can choose which God they worship.
There can be many lies but there can be only one truth.
If something is white then that is the truth. Someone can say it is red, or green, or yellow etc. but that does not change the truth that it is white regardless of how much they believe it is red.
So are you believing in the truth or a lie?
Seek the truth

Nope only one God the Father, we may not all have the right religion, but he see into our hearts, and that is a lot of how we will be judged. But yes we should stop fighting and name calling.
I love ST. Mark 9:38-40.

To me I believe there is one God and we each have a different way of approaching him. It is like the organization, we each have a different view about the CEO and rumours do spread around about the way he is and how is goverance is. So we each view God from a different perspective which means we all have the same God but choose to give an individual view of him.

I agree with you about the stopping of the fighting over who's God is better, Or who's belief is the TRUE Belief.
EVERY single one of us has a specific perception of what or who God is, even those that do not believe in God.
For the non-believers, God is just myth, a fairytale. But it still is a perception of God.
For Believer's, God is called by many names, has many different descriptions regarding Gods nature, but once again is only a perception of God.
To understand EVERY ONES different perception, we must look at the nature of perception itself and how it affects us all. Perception is basically a personal view of that which we believe to be true, thus how we see "things" in relation to how they actually are.
Since NO ONE has the ability to see, smell, hear, taste, or touch exactly what we see, smell, hear, taste or touch; we all have different perceived beliefs in relation to our environment either physical or spiritual.
Each one of us believes that which we believe because of how we interpret ourselves as well as our surroundings through our personal perception.
No one believes 100% exactly what the next person believes, so in a sense we all believe, in our own perception of that which we call God.
This is my opinion only as yours may differ.
