And as I've said, there cannot be many gods, because that implies the potentiality for separated individuating differentiation in pure actuality, and in pure actuality, there is no potentiality, only actuality. As to whether God has any choice in his existence; God is himself the autonomic and subsistent actuality of existence, so his eternal act of existence is equal to his actual existence.
