You know that is just another rediculous aspect of religious books. Why Why Oh Why leave constituents questioning and interpreting on their own. It leaves situations like Catholics and Christians Sunni's and Shiites. Seperated groups with their own set of beliefs. We as you state can be misinterpretted just as the Earth and Heavens were created in Six Days. Do you get what I am saying here?

Wait, when is 'we' singular?

There is no way anyone would get confused about this, God says hundreds of times He is One there is no one like Him. The point one becomes a muslim is when one says ' I testify that there is no god but Allah and muhamed is His messenger' this statement is the foundation of Islam. The English queen uses 'we' all the time to stress her authority, 'we' and 'us' are often used as singular pro-nouns. Check it out in the dictionary if you don't believe me.

"We" was commonly used by kings in Europe, also by Polish kings. Don't know where it came from, but I suspect it was to ephasize that a king represents the whole nation and expresses its opinions and will.

By the way the idea of The Holy Trinity is another masterpiece of theological close reasoning. It all comes down to : There's one God in 3 parts, yet the 3 parts are one God.
