Yes, even the Bible speaks of multiple "Gods". As I have already quoted from Genesis: "Let us make man in our image". Note the use of the plural.
Yet the 10 commandments that you were arguing for just a couple of posts ago state: I am the lord your god. You shall have no other gods before me.
All singular.
Yes, the I AM in us is a unity.
No, it's an individual.

But the other religions, like Hinduism, which in many cases is polytheistic, urging the belief in multiple seperate gods, not one true god.
So you're silly equivocation is still bullshit.
The bible claims there is only one true god, other religions, like Hinduism and the Greek pantheon, claim there are multiple, seperate and true gods.

The fact is actually that people can pronounce the name of god just fine. It ain't magic.
Of course they can. But nobody can pronounce the word, 'I' with regard to any being outside of themselves.
Vacuous wibble, nothing more.

It really isn't. That's pure shite.
