Q89. Can you show me a little of how their views differ?

Yes. Some regard Him as a kind of indifferent God, one who will neither do evil nor good. Some regard Him as a kind of ignorant and blind God, one who can neither know nor see through the clouds. Others regard Him as a God not worth pursuing, if following Him means giving up the world and their desires. And still others think He is exactly like themselves: with as little hatred for sin as they have, and as little love for holiness as they have.
