Neither of those boys is white, but if you add christ..then..yeah...sure. You could probably get away with using the lilly scale.

did you post to the wrong thread accidentally? I don't see how that could be a response to anything that's recently been said in this thread

You don't see how the/a difference between yahweh, christ, and allah was/is the practical need to appeal to disparate ethnocentric cultures over time and distance?
It's not like god was changing it's mind or character. It just kept getting rebooted for different crowds.

Personally, if I found out god was real, I would assume a lot of things about his limitations:
- I'd assume he can't create a married bachelor.
I graduated college as a Bachelor of Business Administration. I was single, i.e., an unmarried bachelor.
Next.
... but I know none, and therefore am no best.

There are a few possible options:
- God is bound by the rules of logic and can't create paradoxes. For obvious reasons a limited God is unpalatable to certain mindsets.
- God can create paradoxes but not in our universe. Not unless God wants to destroy it. The underpinnings of our universe are incompatible with the existence of logical paradox.
- God can create paradoxes and hold them in our universe but your mortal mind would be incapable of perceiving them. Your mind would either block them out in self-defense or shatter under the conflicting inputs.
- God can and already has done all of the above. We call it quantum mechanics.

I think you may have misunderstood.

If one god exists thrn, in all likelihood, others exist.
Why should I limit myself to one?
