On the Unknowable

Is God’s name Jehovah, Allah, maybe An, Set or Saturn; or maybe something else? More to the point, when you say “God”, to whom or what are you referring? Is he or she perfect, all-knowing, all-powerful, holy, pure, good, eternal; and if so, what implications do those attributes bring to our reality?
“The Bible says it, I believe it, that settles it.”
“There is no God but Allah.”
“I am the Lord your God. Thou shall have no other gods before me.”
Is there one God, or three-in-one, or ten thousand?
