My personal belief is that there is one divine Spirit that permeates everything, but that it can be addressed with many names. It has infinite aspects, the most basic of which would be the polarized God (masculine) and Goddess (feminine).
That's why, whatever name you use, whatever face of God you see - you are correct. You can call upon Jesus or Brighid or Isis or Herne - and you're correct. Because deity is infinite, you can call on Buffy or James T. Kirk or King Arthur if you want, and the corresponding aspect of divinity will be what responds. After all, today's story is tomorrow's myth, and the characters are the gods of the next millenium.

It is obvious to me that there is a God...because I have found God through my own experience.
Through my own experience...there is only one God. However, people perceive God different ways and sometimes worship several facets/faces of God. So I see how it is equally obvious how people see several gods...but I know there is only one.

Monotheistic religions also believe in angels. That includes the "dark" angels of Lucifer or The Devil. Then you got things like Abraxis (a paradox between God and the Devil, filled with pure good and pure evil at the same time.) Or, The Trixter, who is basically good but has a practical joker personality. Or, Coyote, in Native American tradition. He appears to be the cosmic screw up in the stories - but in reality he is a wise teacher, using himself as an object lesson.

Isn't it obvious to you that Christianity was made up by a bunch of male chauvanists as a method of controlling the masses? The idea of their being a magical man up in the sky that created everything is absolutely retarded. Christianity is a way of denying the inevitability and permenance of death.

The word 'god' simply means ....a mighty one.
So, yes, there are (and have been) many gods.
They are not all equal.
One, in fact, is an ALL-mighty God.
There cannot be 2 all-mighty gods.
I do my best to pay heed to this one all-mighty one.

What do these other God's do? What are their names? Can you communicate with these other Gods? I believe in God/Jesus because He is real to me, He gives me His word/bible that gives an account of Him and the reason of His & our being. His word says that there are no other Gods, He is the only one.

Sure there are beliefs in other gods.
But the real question is, is there an absolute truth that there is one God?

Valid point and valid question. If one believes in a deity, who is to say anothers deity may not also exist.
This should be fun to watch.

there is no point in having a supreme being if we can create as many as we want whenever it suits us.
