All Gods are a manifestation of the NEED to create gods....thatīs clearly true.

I don't see it that way. Pagan gods are a manifestation of people's needs to be different from from each other. They want to be different in every aspect: identity, language, culture and even religion.

For example, my neighbor and I started out believing that you exist. With the passage of time, he became to believe that your name is Francisco, that you are short, blond, wear eyeglasses, and live in Cuba. I, on the other hand, became to believe that your name Francois, that you are tall, slim, and live in Brazil.

Each of us claimed you as his own friend. Later, we started to believe that Francois and Francisco are not the same. Sometimes I believed that Francois exist but Francisco doesn't.

Then comes along a prophet and tells us: "you guys have confused yourselves... his name is neither Francois nor Francois... his name is Pancho and he lives in Mexico City".

What is common between all those religions is that they believed in a supernatural intelligence.

They are also proof that gods fail, else why change them?

They didn't change them. They simply refined their understanding. In my example above, I used to think that you are Francois. The fact that I now know more about you does mean that I changed persons.

It is men who change their gods...add powers or family members or legends....gods donīt do this.

They don't change gods. They distort the idea of a God. Humanity knew about God when they were first endowed with consciousness. Then each went his own way, and their concepts of a God became distorted. God became Zeus to the greeks and Ganish to the Indians.

Since our minds conjure them up they are, by necessity, inadequate and must be refined and tweaked constantly

Clarified, not refined.

often at a great price in murdered "heretics"

Unfortunately yes, but Christianity does not call of that.

would a Protestant admit that his Jesus is the same as the Catholic Jesus

Of course.
