The problem with simplifying it that much is that even within the group of people who believe in the Judea-Christian God, everybody still perceives Him differently. Throw in non-Christians as well as people who are simply not religious at all and you've got a the most fantastic makings for a long and enlightening discussion. You see, before you can decide if Eru is equivalent to the Judea-Christian God, you've got to figure out just who or what the Judea-Christian God is. It's like staring into shadow and trying to compare a hidden object to the one in your hand. You can't make a blanket statement about it. You can't even make a simple statement until you get some sort of idea of what it is that's just out of view.
