Re: Is Christianity Polytheistic?
Personally, I think that if the gods are real they would be known universally by many names. For instance, just about every culture has a deity that loved mankind so much that he sacrificed himself for the salvation of mankind. To the Greek, Prometheus gave man fire, the spark of all technology and knowledge. To the Egyptian, Osirus slayed the serpent and taught man how to farm. To the Asians, Buddha sliced off his flesh to save mankind and taught them now to achieve enlightenment. To the Narn, G'quan united his people and fought off the dark forces that were occupying their homeworld. And to the Minbari, Valen led the Minbari to victory over the Shadow forces. To the gentiles, Jesus gave them homosexuality by teaching them how to fish for men.
And then there are all these divine figureheads who kept trying force the people to believe that they were the one true god.
There are just too many coincidences to ignore. So, surely the gods must be real, and man has known them throughout the ages by many different names.

I, as a Christian, could argue that the majority of greek deities do not qualify for God because by my defintion God does not marry or procreate...
So, the christian god is impotent?
