Pretty deep theological/philosophical thought from a bunch of you folks described as bronzed-aged nomads.

There is one God, the God who is "what is." Everyone in this thread (perhaps even Jeff) agreed they believed in this God, the one who is "what is."
(That everyone agreed with this is somewhat encouraging, because the name by which God revealed himself in the Old Testament translates into English as "I am" or 'I am what is.").

Your god is a dipshit. Ask a Hindu, or a Pagan. Pagans are one of the fastest growing religions, making a huge comeback.JoltinJoe wrote:How can there be more than one God other than the one who is?houndawg wrote:

Hey, sometimes you gotta believe something that all logic tells you can't possibly be, right?

The Jews, that recieved the 10 commandments, believed in mulitple dieties but were loyal and obeyed the God that delievered them from the Egyptians (henothiesm). The 1st Commandment can be interpreted to forbid the Israelites from worshiping any other god but the one true God who had revealed himself at Mount Sinai and given them the Torah. Additionally, it can also be read as henotheistic, since it states that they should have "no other gods before me." The existence of other gods is neither confirmed nor denied. These early Jews still worshiped El and Baal (to name a couple).JoltinJoe wrote:That's not really true. There is no list of "gods."houndawg wrote:

The bible was written by man to convert people to Christianity.2 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery;
3 Do not have any other gods before me.
4 You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth
5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me,

I think if there were a bunch of actual Christ-like Christians out there, rather than the douche-nozzles in polos with popped collars that act better than everyone, that Christianity might be more well accepted...
I absolutely agree with you.

This is why you remain the dim 1.6%. This is why the atheists continue to remain an irrelevant, microscopic minority. People ignore you because they know that you don't even understand their point of view.
You guys need to rant and rave on message boards, and write lengthy tirades on your own websites, because you are otherwise ignored for the extremist nut jobs that you are.

So, to say thier is only one God when the forbearers of your religion worshipped other gods before AND after the manifestation of "YAWEAH" is weak.

It was more of a philosophical than theological point anyway.

Joe, you're stuck with defending the theological absurdities of your religion. You cannot entirely separate it from the purely philosophical. Sorry, dude, and good luck with that.
Regarding - God, a higher power, a force, whatever one want's to call it - IT does not give a **** about the affairs of man.
