Really? How is that fair to say? By this line of reasoning the god of the bible is a different god for pretty much every Christian denomination on Earth.
I agree, which is one of the many reasons I think we can show the Bible is a peice of crap.
But with respects to the three different major religions which have three different and distinct Holy Books, it's fair to say they believe in different Gods. Believers within those religions would say the Christian God, the Jewish God, Muslim God, is not the same God and the other one is fake. However they are based on the same originating mythologies.
The point is very minor in the grand scheme of things and we perceive God. We obviously don't believe God exists, we know the three major religions based off of the same mythologies, generally making the three major religions about the same God, the "Abrahamic God". But if you are going to start getting down into the "nitty gritty" aspects of these Gods with respect to what they specifically believe, what makes them different, then it's fair to say they are not the same God. That's all I'm saying.
