It signifies one of the following:
1.) God does not exist and humans just made him up in their imagination.
2.) God does exist, but he enjoys pitting one religion against another to see who wins--kind of like dog fighting on a grander scale. Whichever one wins is the one he likes best.
3.) God exists but does not care who believes in him, or why.

It signifies that extremist theologies will splinter into groups that antagonize each other. Sunni vs Shea, Catholic vs Protestant, Bobbies vs Bob Killers. Less extreme religions don't have as much harsh conflict between various interpretations of the cannon.

He needs some training from the older Gods.
Just an aside.....I heard there might be a book coming out called "The Theory of Religious Evolution." Seems all the Religions are the mutated offspring of the original Shamans.

There is one God.
Christianity is the completion of Judaism. Jews do not believe the messiah came but Christians believe this.
So the Jewish God is the same as the Christian God father.
We believe in 3 divine persons in one God. The trinity. One God. Like a Shamrock. (St. Patrick..:-} )
Christianity split because people disagreed. What Christianity is today is not what God intended.
There are only 2 churches who can claim to Apostlisitc (coming from the Apostles). That is the Catholic (big C) church and the Orthodox church.
The protestant churches broke because of a disagreement. The intentions of Luther we not to make a thousand (more) denominations but to make the church better? Did it help.
Sure the Catholic church learned from the mistakes of the past.

What's it show of God?
That he has given humans freewill to screw everything up.
But in the end there can be only one .(no that's highlander sorry)...

There is just one God. Various demoninations are due to various human interpretations of the Bible.

I'm not sure what they signify about God. Better yet, what do they signify about mankind?

God can't be single-minded. He has to be diverse and creative on some things but not on others. It's a way of expanding His thinking.

Nothing for division is of the Devil. God wills one Sheppard, one flock
