hosepipe,
As a Christian I can tell you that there is not a plethora of “gods” on this planet. And if you know that His name is Yahweh, you know that He is the only one.
You are quite WRONG... many people view their creator in hundreds of ways.. Whether there is a REAL God or not I have not addressed.. yet.. Many are searching for a God, or even an originator of things.. as a "force" of some kind.. People search with what they have to search with.. with the tools they accept.. The search is real and profound..
In the judeo christian search, God finds YOU, you do not find God.. as I see it.. Thats the way is should be I think.. The Holy Spirit is a deep truth, that many are oblivious to.. for various reasons..
