from time to time mankind experiences the presence of God, there have been
and continue to be events that testify to the presence of Him.The multiple gods you continually point to have an unique difference
from the God who first revealed His presence to ancient men i.e. the Hebrews.The particular gods you mention roman etc. are all man made
and in many instances men themselves i.e. hercules, but even the ancient greeks realized the limitations of their understanding
and included an «unknown» God in their worship structure.many
cultures did likewise, having a glimpse of God but not the fullness of understanding that was given to the Jews.Whether or not «we» believe, does not alter the fact that God exists as an unique being, whether or not «we» acknowledge Him «we» will stand before Him.You do not choose to understand, but we are actually standing in His presence right now as He is much bigger than the doctrines
and knowledge man ascribes to Him those things you find so questionable are the misconceptions
and misrepresentations of God made by men throughout
history.
