   So you're talking about concepts rather than the referent, which is Out   
   There somewhere? If so, yes, concepts do vary; even one's own concept   
   varies from moment to moment. So it seems to me almost a meaningless   
   question.

   You and the rest of the world. If there was only one God, and He wanted to   
   make this clear, I expect He'd manage.

   Hare Krishnas used to be led to present Krishna to us, so why not?
