The World is Polytheistic

when fanaticism becomes the only option, it indicates a lack of philosophy
Then accept every god that ever was or is as your god. Or are you fanatically opposed to that?
If there were 3 reasonable people in a room, a Jew, a Muslim and a Hindu and they all claimed that their god is the one and only god then they could only conclude that each of them are worshipping the same god.
If a polytheist then comes in and says that one of his gods named Thor is tossing around lightning bolts outside then what other choice would the other 3 have then to accept that Thor is also their god.
Its either that or the whole world is polytheistic

what is the connection between tossing around lightning bolts and god?
In vedic literature you have vishnu and indra (who is likely to toss around a few lightning bolts)
still there is no confusion over the jurisdiction and potency of both of them
Your MO never changes, I'll give you credit for that. Consider yourself reasonable?
1 little, 2 little, 3 little monotheist religions make the world polytheistic. If you don't agree then denounce the other 2 as false. Regardless, we are talking belief in one all everything god here. That god cannot be anything but one and the same if you believe in monotheism. Forget about the polytheists for now, we don't even need them to increase the one-god total. Just how many one-gods are there in todays world?
Let's fish or cut bait. Do you believe Allah is also your god?
yes, by re-asserting the authority of the OP by deriding the suggestion that the premises it operates on are faulty
:shrug:
if discussing inter-religious issues in monotheism is your focus, why bring in thor?
like the sun, there is only one - like people's documentation of that experience, there could be many
certainly
revealed in a certain time, place and circumstance of course
Vishnu? Jupiter? Eros? Inti? Gitche Manitou? All high ranking gods. Could they be your god also?
Visnu can lay claim to being omnimax (that is literally what it means)
as for the others, well I know that Jupiter and Eros do not have such a quality
So Vishnu is Allah is Yahweh, Yes?
if they are all defined as omnimax, distinguishing them as separate certainly becomes difficult
Shouldn't be for a monotheist
phew !
just as well I didn't assert their difference

Shouldn't be any for a monotheist.
