The name is one.

Sorry for the very strange question, sorry again –
We believe that God is one.
But theoretically, let’s say just for the sake of invention there is one god who has 10 child gods, and one of them is not nice, and decided to create a world where they believe he is one god while in fact he is “just” a son of the father god.
This is just an example, theoretically it could be all sorts of things like this and that.
So how can one know/believe that the name is one?
Sorry for the third time for the strangeness, but this has been bothering me for a while now.

A strange question indeed. In the case you described, why do you assume that the Father is singular? In any case, you start from a singular God.
I have already written that the question of whether he is unique or not is not well defined. There is something or someone who created the world and gave it to the Torah. How much is he and what is his nature, these are uninteresting questions.

Are they not of interest to you, Rabbi, or is there nothing to discuss about them by definition because it is impossible to know and research such a thing?
Because there are those who find it interesting and intriguing…

So let's define the question well and we can discuss whether it makes sense and how to examine it. I don't understand the question.

The meaning of the one and only one and no more is first of all to say that everything you know or imagine or think about is not the one. Because the one is only one.
