philosophical type question
I was going to post this in a weirdjew community or two, but I didn;t want to be called an idiot. Instead, I'll let you, my friends, call me an idiot :)

A recent discussion about religion, and if course Gd came up a few times :)  Then I got thinking: Are Jews and Christians worshipping the same Gd (just done in different ways), or are we talking about different Gds here? My Christian friends beleive that Jesus isn't Gd, and they're pretty adamant about that. "Jesus is Jesus and Gd is Gd" is what we've aften spoken about.

next time I'm talking with our Very Catholic Friend, I'll ask him to elaborate. He gets into a lot of detail on things of which I know very little, so i could have gotten his p.o.v. incorrect.
Thnak you for your answer, it clarifies things a bit.

OK, well if he's Catholic that puts a little bit of a different spin on things.

Catholic theology is that Jesus and God the Father (and the Holy Spirit) are three Persons one God etc. etc.

Catholic liturgical practice would, however, give the impression that Jesus and God were in fact two completely different entities. Two gods, in fact. The primary focus of the Mass lauds Jesus, and God the Father is given a little bit of short shrift, if my memories of impressions are correct.
