    No they aren’t. There is a lot of difference between an Enlightenment era diest god, a local tribal god, and a triomni god.

    What do you care anyhow? It isn’t like Islam is monotheistic. They have Satan and dijins.

      You’re talking about God (such as the god of Islam and Catholicism, which is the same god) and gods, as in the concept of a god, which encompasses sun gods, Aztec gods, etc etc.

      Usually I find how you capitalise matters here. God with a capital is a name, and talking about the “God” most people talk about.

      A god, on the other hand, well you get the idea.

      Anyway in this case we’re talking about the god of Islam, Christianity, Catholicism, etc. This god is the same god, and in English we would call that god “God”. Allah is that god’s name in another language. But it’s the same deity.

          Islam’s Allah is a fanfic of the Christian Trinity, though reduces it back to a single entity and demotes Jesus to prophet. The Christian Trinity is a fanfic of the Jewish god Yahweh.

          The members of the three groups disagree about what is canon, but they refer to the same entity.
