Although I do not understand what you are asking me to prove,(That God does not belong to a religious group?) remember I am to convey, not convince. By asking me to prove something, you are asking me to convince you of something. This would be like me asking you to prove love exists, or to prove that you as a human can actually "think". So I would ask you, prove to me that a "thought" exists.
I cannot present a source(s), as I did not present a personal opinion.

When you say, I am stating that there is not more than one, did you set out to count and, spotting only one God, conclude there is only one?

God is the King
If we accept that theres a God and revalation then that means
that God gives His creation a description of Himself, That description
since the time of Adam till Muhammad has been that He is One,
He is unique in His Essence, Acts, and Attributes. so to liken Him to his creation
an object or whatever is illogical.

For us to know that God can see from know till we(with God's will)
will be admitted to paradise or incarcerated in Hell is sufficient,
though we DO not limit it to this alone.

God has given a description of Himself in the famous Hindu scripture Bhagavad-Gita, wherein He displays Himself as not only One but also as Many. By this we understand that God is the summum bonum of existence. I of course would not find it contradictory if God describes Himself differently in other scriptures. For what we get as descriptions are the forms that God puts on, and the intents that He effects after all He is running His creation, is He not? But when He is not running his creation (as in His state before creation, for example) then we would get Him in His true state beyond all descriptions. Therefore all descriptions of, say, Allah are only proof that the Allah spoken of is a limited Allah the Allah in the role of running his creation. Allah absolute would be indescribable.

Yes it in fact does.
Your denial of truth does not undo the truth.
Again, prove it.
But alas, you cannot.
However, you can present the sources that lead you to the personal opinion you state above.
Convey what exactly?
You talk a lot yet present nothing as for the source of your opinion.
In fact, I will once again flat out state that you have yet to present anything other your personal opinions of God.
ALL you have PRESENTED has been NOTHING BUT personal opinion.
If you will not offer up the source for your opinions, which you attempt to present as fact, then you leave your source open to be whatever anyone else wants to use to fill in the gap....
Why should anyone listen to anything you "convey" when you have nothing (and according to you ABSOLUTELY NOTHING) to back up anything you say?

This is named the "Breath of LIfe". However no one can answer for the ignorance of man.

No, I concluded nothing, the Truth cannot be compared with a "conclusion".

You asked a question, I gave you the answer. Yet for some reason you feel it is my fault that you are unwilling to accept the answer. Why did you ask the question, and if you think that I am only stating my opinion, why are you here?

"No it does not" #300
Is not an answer to to post #297, it is a non-answer reply.
However, if you would like to try again, please feel free.
Nice try, but you did not answer the question.
You merely replied to it.
Let us try the question again:
"All this opinion presented as fact....
But then that just merely reinforces that God is unknowable...doesn't it?"#297
Your non-answer reply "no it doesn't" #300 is to generic and vague to be of any use.But then that just merely reinforces that God is unknowable...doesn't it?"#297
Thus making it a non-answer reply.
I asked a semi rhetorical question.
You gave a non-answer reply.
The fact is that you present nothing but your opinion.
I stated the fact for what it is.
Your opinions are nothing more than your opinions.
It matters not how many or who agrees with your opinions, your opinions remain your opinions.
To make things even more interesting is that you claim your opinion as fact.
Then you claim there is no source for your opinions to be based upon.
Thus far all I have done is shown your opinions to be merely opinions.
It is not my fault that you will not present anything to support your opinion.
Perhaps you would be so kind as to actually answer the question:
"All this opinion presented as fact....
But then that just merely reinforces that God is unknowable...doesn't it?"#297
Or is it your ploy to merely play martyr?But then that just merely reinforces that God is unknowable...doesn't it?"#297

You feel a reply to your question is not an answer? Again, you need to go back and read the very first post. I am here to convey, not convince, by you asking me to prove something, you are asking me to convince you. Instaed of asking a question, you are playing games. As such I would ask you a question, does your brain "think"? Make sure you can provide proof.(No, an energy discharge does not count)

NO
"There is only ONE God, worship Him"(Rig Veda, vol. 6, Hymn 45 vs16)
"Do not worship anyone besides Him"(Rig Veda Bk. 8, Hym 1, vs 1)
""God is only ONE, - NOT a SECOND"(Chandogya Upanishad ch. 6, section 2, verse 1).
"na tasya pratima asti "There is NO image of Him"Yajur veda( 32,3).
Old Testament.
"Hear o Israel: The Lord our God is ONE.
Deuteronomy 6 verse 4,5,6.
New Testament
And Jesus answered him, The FIRST of ALL COMMANDMENTS is
Hear O Israel; The Lord our God is ONE Lord.
Mark 12,29.
Qur'an
Say i am only a human being like you. It is REVEALED to me that
your God is ONE. Surah 40verse 6.
Its IMPOSSIBLE for God to reveal His Identity in different ways, forms etc.
it would be a CLEAR contradiction.
Sorry this doesn't make sense to me.
Not really, this just shows WE are limited not God.
