Locke on men and god ideas

Can it be thought, that the ideas men have of God are the characters and marks of himself, engraven in their minds by his own finger; when we see, that in the same country, under one and the same name, men have far different, nay, often contrary and inconsistent ideas and conceptions of him? "

Locke's trying to question if what one person vision of what God looks like and his actions, compare with someone elses. Its true that nobody has ever taken a picture of God so its very easy to have your own opinion on how he might look like. Its also true that in different religons God has different roles and different opinions.
