You find it difficult to stay focused on the topic? The point is, your allegation of Isaiah's monotheism is faulty.
Unfortunately for Data again, he's 110 % wrong.
Data again reveals his utter ignorance. What would one expect of a self-taught idiot ?
Isaiah 44:6 contains a clear statement of monotheism: "I am the first and I am the last; beside me there is no God".
In Isaiah 44:09–20, this is developed into a satire on the making and worship of idols, mocking the foolishness of the carpenter who worships the idol that he himself has carved.
The ENTIRE Book of Isaiah which this guy never read, is a set of admonitions to the Jews that the Exile was caused by their worship of other gods / idols.
I mean, look at the big picture. He doesn't even get the subject matter of the entire book.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
