Believers, please differentiate these gods.

[MJ the Skeptical]

This is a milder version of the "what distinguishes your god from other supernatural entities?" question I keep asking, and am repeatedly brushed off for.

Not really, to the theists, God C represents all the other gods.

If you are encultured by your geographic location to believe specific supernatural entities are real, and then move to an area where the beliefs aren't shared, everyone will look at you cross-eyed when you talk about your supernatural entities. For them, it's "common sense" that theirs exist, and they've never heard of yours, so they sound ridiculous.

Which is always a good point to make to them. Good on you.

Several hundred years ago, this effect would have been much more pronounced, but it still applies.

The theists hundreds of years ago would try to have us killed just for talking about this. But yes, less people had access to others culture or personal sect of religion.

If the people not produced by your culture hold different supernatural entities as existent, but have never heard of yours, what is the distinguishing characteristic that makes your beliefs true, and their beliefs false?

The common things I hear are; Christianity is true because of the number of Christians, that Christianity has a long history..thanks to Rome..or that there is no other religion with [enter bullshit here] Characteristic X or Characteristic Y of their religion.

It seems pretty telling that the "rational true believers" don't have an answer.

To be honest, I sort of made this thread knowing they couldn't answer me.

But who knows, maybe one of them could've surprised me...but they didn't.
