Well,no matter what people say,i will always believe that all Gods are equal.😊Call it anything,School teachings or politicians teachings(nowadays politicians are trying to divide our country on the basis of caste and religion and are completely against equality😆),i respect others opinions and expect the same from others too.Let people differentiate among Gods,let people say Shiv is different,Vishnu is different,etc.these things will never change my opinion.😊I only gave my opinion and i did not at all try to prove my opinion as a universal truth.Everybody is free to give their opinions in this public forum.😊Shiv Puran states Shiv is more important than other Gods.Vishnu Puran states Vishnu is more important than other Gods.Each puran gives more importance to it's respective deity.Followers of these purans therefore come into these conclusion that their fav.Gods are more important than others.

The 'all are one' statement is taught in schools and also by politicians and godmen, but they are not in the religious texts of any religion. How can they be? When the Vedas & Puranas were written, how can they have anything about Moses? Biblical and Quranic texts very specifically allude to the denial of 'false gods'. This is not an attack on any of them, but it does disprove the claims made above that the 'all are one' school of thought, as promoted by contemporary society is actually based on any religion.

Like Krishna said above, anybody is at liberty to believe what one wishes. But please don't claim, as the absolute truth, something that is not there in the scriptures, and is only the oral or written belief of modern philosophers/saints/godmen/politicians/actors/social workers/what have you.

Also, stating that they are all different does not imply supremacy of any one of them over any of the others.

or

"They have called him Indra, Mitra, Varuna, Agni,
And the divine fine-winged Garuda;
They speak of Indra, Yama, Matrarisvan:
The One Being sages call by many names."
Hinduism. Rig Veda 1.164.46

[This was written probably when there were no other religions known to them.]
