Sayings of Ramakrishna 8

Q. If the God of every religion is the same, why is it then that the God is painted differently by different religionists?  

A. God is one, but His aspects are different: as one master of the house is father to one, brother to another, and husband to a third, and is called by these different names by those different persons, so one God is described and called in various ways according to the particular aspect in which He appears to His particular worshiper.
