The three monootheeist religions (judaism, christianity (including catholicism and protestantism) and islam ) all worship the same god, the god of Abraham. Where they disagree is in the the status of the different prophets/messiahs/
Jews claim the messiah has not come.
Christians claim Jesus was the messiah, and was of divine essence.
Muslims claim Jesus was but another prophet (and not of divine essence) and Mahomet was the last and most "current" of the prophets. They also believe the messiah has not come yet.
Of course, by accepting different prophets, these three religions disagree on points of doctrine, but since they all recognise the old testament ( even the muslims do, they just believe the Kuran superceddes both testaments just as christians believe the new testament supercedes the old one) they are disagreeing on points of doctrine.
Therefore, there is no doubt the jews, christians and muslims worship the same od.
Animists, however, believe there are gods everywhere, bound to things and places. But hey, is it not christianity that believes god cn be both one and many (holy trinity)? While there is no sacred text explicitely saying so, it is not aberrant to believe all the animist "mini-gods" are but facets of the one god thet is three. After all, if he cans be three and stay one, he can be as many as he wants, can he not?

No.
God can be anywhere at any time. He is in all and through all, and all things hold together through His power.
Althought God can be at all places at once He does not change to suit what people may want Him to be at the time or place...God stays the same regardless.
So, we meet God standards through choice ... if we want to be blessed then we will rely solely on Him for our every need...if we want to follow the desires of the flesh/world, then He will let us go and not bother us, but there will most likely be trouble, as when we listen to the devil we are in danger.
There are many paths, but only ONE path to God, my friend, and that is through Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior of all mankind.
Theology epic fail.
