Origins of the Judeo-Christian god and religion

Of course the bible doesn’t support the validity of other gods! It was written to support it's particular religion and in turn re-enforce that religion's god.Strewth. To assume otherwise would be like expecting Microsoft to extol the virtues of Mac OSX and or Lunix in their own Manuals for XP. It not going to happen. Microsoft is out to push its brand as much as the Bible is out to push its.It is just, you are so slavishly committed to this one brand you have bought into the propagandas ”word for word’ that when you are told that your god is the one true god you except that blatant and obvious propaganda as self evident truth.Come on Faith. Wake up and smell the spin.

And lo, the Word of The great God Bill was heard even in the land of heathens. Bill saw this and thought it good.

The mighty BSOD is his divine punishment for daring to doubt in his supreme infalibility.

As you freely admit, people do invent their gods. You even state that all but one are the invention of the human mind. That is quite a large list of gods you dismiss as mear inventions. Click here to see How vast that list truly is.Now: how do you actually justify the claim that out of all the gods listed on that site, that you freely assert are simple inventions of humans, that the one and only the one you happen to believe in is the only one that isn’t equally an invention of the human mind?If the MANY THOUSANDS of deities, that you don’t believe in, are in fact fictional entities then the odds are overwhelmingly in favour that yours God is also a fictional deity. It’s just that you happen to believe he is real, just as the followers of ALL those other gods believed their god/s were real.

“Our god is SOOOOO much better than your god. Look, look here in this book we wrote to tell you how super he is. See? It says he is so super and the one true god. Wow! Isn’t that great? Praise the Lord: how else could a book we wrote confirm our beliefs so utterly if it wasn’t all divine truth!?” Why? Why is there no point? Is it because I refuse to take the words in the bible as true because those very same words tell me they are true? Do you believe? Do you take that as self evident truth? Does the fact it clearly states that what is written is the true word of god, hold no sway with you? No? Why not?Hang on . just noticed something. Previously on Faith Radio . {my bold}So you have changed you mind as to the existence of all other gods? Seems that way. So: why the switch? Would you prefer to let all the other - lesser - gods exist under the dominion of your god, rather than decry this extended pantheon as ”utter fiction’ due to the real questions that doing so naturally raises as to the validity of your own god’s existence as anything other than fiction?

Not wanting to come over emotional or belligerent, I do humbly have to ask you to re-read your post (#200, of this thread) You clearly state that “ . people DO invent gods, all the others”. To me, at least, this is a clear statement that you believe all gods other than your own are inventions. Then in #220 you call your god ”God of Gods” and give him jurisdiction “over all the gods of earth”, this is a clear statement that you believe that these other gods exist.So which is it?
