@fimilleur
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.
