My opinion on this matter

Christiantity evolved from Judaism.
Both are technically monotheistic.
Thus, it's logical to suppose that both Christianity and Judaism worship the same G-d, but have different assumptions about that G-d.

I disagree with the notion that there HAS to be only one Creator or no Creator. One can still make a case for polytheism, along lines similar to the arguments for atheism that have sprouted over the years, and one can also argue for polytheism based on the time it took for Earth to develop (practically forever) and its complexity. (Of course, one can also argue for atheism in the same verse...) But committees take forever to get something done, don't they?

Yes, I'm Jewish - I celebrate Jewish holidays and some Jewish customs - but I don't agree 100% with the theology of my religion, either (easier to do in an action- and ethnicity- oriented religion like Judaism than in a belief- oriented religion like Christianity).
