I'm just dumping this post here for future reference.
Philosophically, I am persuaded that there can be only one supreme Being. Theologically, I am opposed to the unitarian concept of God espoused by Islam, Judaism, and various forms of Hinduism.

'Say: O people of the Book come to common terms as between you and us. That we worship none but Allah, that we associate no partners with Him. That we erect not from amongst ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah. If then they turn back, say: Bear witness that we at least are Muslims bowing to the will of Allah. [Quran 3:64]. Hinduism: · (There is only one god, not the second; not at all, not in the least bit). [rigveda samhiti volume 6 page 1802 and 1803 by Swami SatyaPrakash Saraswati and Satyakam Vidhyalanka]. · (He is one only without a second) [chandogya Upanishad 6:2:1] · "His form is not to be seen; no one sees Him with the eye. Those who through heart and mind know Him as abiding in the heart become immortal". [Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:20]. · "They enter darkness, those who worship natural things", for example air, water, fire etc "They sink deeper in darkness those who worship sambhuti. Sambhuti means created things, for example table, chair, idol, etc". [Yajurved 40:9]. Christianity: · Isaiah A-V {46:9}"I am God, and there is non else; I am God, and there is non like me." · Deuteronomy A-V {5:7} Thou shalt have none other gods before me. {5:8} Thou shalt not make thee [any] graven image, [or] any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the waters beneath the earth: {5:9} Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God. · Mathew A-V {19:16} And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? {19:17} And he (Jesus) said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none good but one, [that is,] God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. · John A-V {17:3} Jesus said: And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. · Mark A-V {12:29} And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments [is,] Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: Islam: · 1. Say: He is Allah, the One and Only; 2. Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; 3. He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; 4. And there is none like unto Him. [Quran 112] · Allah. There is no god but He,-the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth? He knoweth what (appeareth to His creatures as) before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as He willeth. His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is the Most High, the Supreme (in glory). [Quran 2:255]
