“Surely, His is the creation and commandment. Blessed is Allaah, the Lord of the ‘Aalameen (mankind, jinn and all that exists)!
[al-A’raaf 7:54 – interpretation of the meaning]
The creation of the heavens and the earth, the alternation of night and day, the different kinds of inanimate objects, plants and fruits, the creation of humans and animals… all of that indicates that the Almighty Creator is One with no partner or associate:
“That is Allaah, your Lord, the Creator of all things, Laa ilaaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). How then are you turning away (from Allaah, by worshipping others instead of Him)?[Ghaafir 40:62 – interpretation of the meaning]
The variety and greatness of these created things, the perfect way in which they are formed, the way in which they are maintained and controlled, all indicate that the Creator is One and that He does as He wills and rules and decides as He wants

“Allaah is the Creator of all things, and He is the Wakeel (Trustee, Disposer of affairs, Guardian) over all things”
All of the above indicate that this universe has a Creator, that this dominion has a Sovereign, that behind these forms is One Who gives them shape:
“He is Allaah, the Creator, the Inventor of all things, the Bestower of forms. To Him belong the Best Names”
[al-Hashr 59:24 – interpretation of the meaning]
The soundness of the heavens and the earth, the order of the universe, the harmony among created things, all indicate that the Creator is One, with no partner or associate:
“Had there been therein (in the heavens and the earth) aalihah (gods) besides Allaah, then verily, both would have been ruined. Glorified be Allaah, the Lord of the Throne, (High is He) above all that (evil) they associate with Him!”[al-Anbiya’ 21:22 – interpretation of the meaning]

Does not Islam state that Allah himself has 99 names?
Polytheists are worshipping the same "god", the Creator, but using different facets of the creator "personality". All of us have different facets to our personality, yet we are "one" individual. Cannot Allah do the same?
When I thank the Goddess, I am thanking the female perspective of the Creator. When I thank Anubis, I am thanking the protective qualities of the Creator. They are all one.
Your God, Allah, the Christian God and the Jewish Yahweh, the pagan gods & goddesses, the Hindu and Buddhist Gods & Goddesses are ALL THE SAME GOD;The Creator of this Universe as we know it.

Honey, I do not doubt your God is a singular Deity.
But he is not the only Deity out there, and you and the Christians need to get over that. Accept it, and move on. Geezzz.... even the ten commandments states: I am the Lord, your God, you shall have no other Gods but me. The inference is that you are making a covenant with that god, and you will not have a covenant with any other gods. Never mind the fancy, schmancy double speak; it is clear and exact in it's wording. You don't need a Ph.D. to figure that one out.
And no, I am not an ignorant polytheist. I have studied world religions. I know the Christian bible, read it, personally feel the Old Testament should come with a triple XXX rating for young children. I have read the Koran in English. I don't speak Aramaic, so it will have to do.
The problem is - interpretation. Literal meaning from books that are for the followers of that religion and no one else. You can interpret those books whatever way you see fit in your own practice, but outside your religion - they have no application and as such are not applied. They really mean very little to those of us who do not follow your religions. No, they don't. Not important, deal with it. It only has meaning to you.
As we have a choice to live life as we feel we best serve it, our choice of religion is also just as personal. And neither you, nor anyone else, has a right to dictate to me what is the "only" or "right" or "true" or anything else religion and/or God.
What choice you make is your own, and I respect that. What choice I make is my own. And I really don't care what you personally think about it. Taint none of yer business.
So, cut the "trying to convert" junk that litters this board - where there could be some really interesting discussions on comparative religions. Move on to some real meat and potatoes on spirituality. Quit quoting your bibles and your holy books, and give us some real thoughts... your own. Use your own brain; work it out.
And if you can't think without a book, then that's your problem and we don't want to hear about it.

Interesting you mention heavens AND earth, night AND day, animals, plants, humans. Animals, plants and humans are all male and female. You have shown with your own scripture that god is a duality. If god created man in his own image then god must be both male and female; therefore, god is a duality and thus not a singularity. In other words your crazy view of what a god is is skewed.

You can show all the proof you want, still if another person is not ready to accept what you say, you must consider that above
everything else. Just don't worry about it.

In what way do quotes from your holy book (Which polytheists do not accept as being credible) count as proof of anything?
If you want to convince people of anything you're going to have to put more effort into it than cutting and pasting quotes.
Edit : Just keep putting up more quotes that no one will bother to read. That will "prove" everything! ;)

"Believing is Seeing."
You can go back to the teachings of any religion as written proof, however religion is about faith and being connected with the supreme being. It is not about being able to "prove" anything. It is about human will. You cannot "make" someone have faith. You can only talk to them about the teachings and pray for them.

even if you showed them all the evidence in the world they wouldn't believe, so don't tired yourself. as God explained:
[111] And even if We had sent down unto them angels, and the dead had spoken unto them, and We had gathered together all things before their very eyes, they would not have believed, unless Allâh willed, but most of them behave ignorantly.
Quran 6:111

Yeah, quote the Qur'an, that'll prove it.
Religious folks use of circuluar logic never ceases to amaze me.

It isn't possible to prove the existence of or the oneness of any god. There is no analytical proof available only faith.

You really can't give definitive proof that any "god" exists, even Allah.
