EDIT: Interesting factiod that I just learned from my mom. Apparently Muslims believe in the same god as do Christians and Jews. Somebody should tell all the soldiers going over to Iraq that little bit of information. It might slightly alter a few ideas and perceptions. Of course, 90 percent of the people who learned that would probably blatantly deny it and angrily declare it an attack on Christianity, but somebody should still try.

On this topic...
The best analogy for this I've ever heard came from a Jewish Hollocaust survivor. Simply put, you can look at an object with both eyes. You close one, and the object appears in a different position, yet it's still in the same place. Swap eyes, and once again, it looks like it moves. Yet once again, it's still in the same place. In other words, God is the same being, just viewed from different perspectives.
Oh, and "An eye for an eye" is extremely literal. Hammurabi's Code was crude and blunt, and meant everything it said.
