There are plenty of other gods. You only chose to believe there is one because the Bible says that and it is your only self fulfilling reference.
To use the "majority" concept you used previously today, the majority of the world's citizens [2/3rds] don't necessarily agree with your premise of only one specific god.
And again we have the issue of time reference. The Romans, who took a form of Christianity with Catholicism 2000 years ago believed in many gods, from Jupiter to Apollo to Mars and Mercury and Vulcan, though what Spock had to do with it, I am just not sure. What will they believe in another 2000 years?

One God, many different forms. Christianity recognizes three. Other religions vary (and PLEASE DON'T print your list). Who are you to say it is not the same God? And how can anyone prove otherwise? Not Aard, not Stu, not me and not you! Aard will argue that the bible claims there is just the one true God. Which I believe. But to say OUR God is not the same as the Muslim God or the Hindu God or whoever's God is presumptuous. Sorry Aard.
BINGO
You are beginning to get the picture. The question on this end has never been about a god, it has always been about the Christian interpretation of deity. It has always been the Christian interpretation that somehow their god is the only god.
God likes stupid people?
You have to consider the educational level from the time of Moses up until now. Of course any "communication" from God then HAD to be simplistic. Layman's terms, you know? Superstition is right. But NOW, even in third world countries the dumbest person is infinitely smarter than the brightest people of that period. So the message changes but the premise remains the same. Do unto others...
Yet somehow believers trust those folks to have written down complex prophecies, concisely and without error.
If it wasn't for Christ, I might have a tendency to buy some of these points, and yet with Him , it tends to lessen the others credibility. There was no other figure that performed as He did, was as pure in heart as He was, was resurrected as promised and fulfilled some 300 prophecies written as early as 2000 years earlier. Were not talking prophecies that were not understandable before the fact like Nosterdamus or others. These were direct prophecy with detail. I mean, come on... a few fulfillments would be drastic, but 300?
So, if you have another godhead that fits that bill or even comes close, I might listen to the argument. Haven't heard of one so far.

unproven 'wives tales'
and the last one..
if you are asserting such: 300.
list a few?.. or you'll just refer us to some cocky book that some douche wrote in 'proving the bible' that you so often refer to.
Nope Swauve. I test both ways.
Maybe that's how you miss it?

Your definition of proof is incorrect then. You have no proof of the religions claims just supporting events. Just because the clouds are dark does not mean it is raining or even about to. But we have proof that you have no proof.

My question is that you cannot know that this is true.
If an experiment is to gain KNOWLEDGE and God gave us free will, is it not an acceptable theory to say that God wants to find out what we do with that gift? He may know the possible outcomes but can only influence those to a certain extent based on how he created us?
Seems a good point to interject the Omnipotence Paradox.
