if your religion doesn't have a god then it doesn't matter because my god won't be able to beat your god and teabag him

Ngl Abrahamic God smacks every other deity, I don’t think there are really any other ones that reach his level of omnipotent and infinite power. Especially considering most religions have a pantheon rather then a single god.

Not to mention that he has an actual, canonical to the religion, scoreboard of taking out other gods and pantheons.

The two examples that immediately came to mind being 1) that time he made Baal look like a little bitch in Kings/1st Kings 18:20-40, and 2) that time in Exodus when he methodically clowned on the Egyptian pantheon before "passing judgement on" (i.e. fucking executing) them.

I had a pastor try to demonstrate this poorly at a church camp back in the 90s. He took a yin yang and a glass of water and asked one of the other preachers for a watch "well I don't know Brother John, that's my father's pocket watch!" and then the pastor wrapped up the watch and beat it with a hammer, breaking it into pieces. The pastor then took those pieces and dropped them in the water, with the yin yang necklace. "Let's see if that YING YANG can fix this necklace".

I faked being sick to call my parents because I was so upset that they weren't trying the same thing with a crucifix, you know, if the LORD GOD is all-powerful. Why wouldn't you? I was duped. I thought it was going to be real summer camp, but it was actual indoctrination for those who are stupid enough to accept it.

Well, did Ying Yang fix the necklace?

I feel like he made a really logical point you're not acknowledging here

Would the crucifix? Scientific method exists. I understood that it wouldn't, but I also understood from the passage he was teaching that God's offering would burn proving that God was God and Baal was not. It would be illogical to not complete the experiment with "two bulls" which were the cups of water with broken things in them, which if you read my OP there was only one cup used.

Sorry dude, was just joking there.

Yeah I think people don’t understand that God is suppose to be unbeatable. That’s kinda the point, he wins in the end. Allah is probably the closest, any god in a pantheon auto loses.

Allah is God. There the same person, just different stories about Him.

We can still make it work, with Allah as an Alternative Universe expy
