In your list was "Allah" and I just wanted to inform you that the Christian God and Allah, are DIFFERENT. And as I am a Christian, a "protestant" to be more specific, I beleive that mohamed(sp) was a looney guy with a bad dream. If you are a moslem/muslim/whatever then you can beleive whatever you want, I'm only sharing my views. Also There is "Jupiter" and "Jove" etc, which is the greek god Zues. Again NOT the same as the Christian God. I won't bother to continue with the rest as now that I look at it, it appears to be a list of god names in general. Just wanted to make that point clear.

Actually Theologians now believe that Allah is the same God. We know that muslim and judaisms are deviations of the same. (human provoked split as always). But Allah is a transliteration of Eli, or El Shadai. In the same way that Jesus is a transliteration of Yeshua (hebrew) and Iosous (Greek). So if JC came back and we were to call out Jesus! Jesus!, he'd probably turn around and say "who me?"
These crossovers are everywhere, they are called syncreticsms.
