At this time, let's look at the Greeks ...
They seemed to have countless gods & goddesses: Aphrodite, Apollo, Ares, Athena, Boreas, Castor, Dionysus, Eros, Gaia, Hades, Hermes, Iris, Kratos, Lacheses, Mania, Nike, Nemesis, Oceanus, Pan, Plutus, Poseidon, Rhea, Selene, Themis, Uranus, Zeus ...just touching the surface, with countless more & only seven letters of the alphabet not listed here.
Is Spider-man the same as Superman ...and is Superman the same as Thor???
Is Nick Fury the same as Captain America??
But, back to the ancients ...is Apollo the same as Zeus, and how about Jupiter??
Are the Roman gods the same as those of the Greeks??
These ancients had at least one thing right. They did not say all these were "the same god". And I would contend that out of all the different names for the Supreme Being which people worship today, they are not the same either.

Are the Roman gods the same as those of the Greeks??
Is Shakespeare the same as Chaucer?? And likewise, are they both the same as Machiavelli???
Is Whitman the same as Dickinson? And are they both the same as Wordsworth?? And are anybody's words worth anything???
Is Chesterton the same as Darwin??
Was Cain the same as Abel?? They both had the same father ...and the same mother, Eve. Did Eve view them as the same?? And did both Cain and Abel view their father the same, or did they not know him from Adam??
Could we group all authors as authors ...all poets as poets ...all kings as kings ...and all peasants as peasants, or do we say that they are all different people??
What if we say there is only one?? I believe in One ...God. And perhaps you do too, so is it the same God??
Sadly, it is not uncommon for a child to have an alcoholic parent. A small child says, "I like the happy Daddy!"
That same child says to the slightly older brother, "Do you think we are going to get the angry Daddy, today??"
Yes, the same person can be looked at in many different ways.
