How Many Gods Are There?

[Mick-Talbot]

And do you think they argue amongst themselves or leave that to their minions?

[naomi24]

Stargazer, I’m not saying you’re a mischief-maker – since you agree with sandyRoe, I’m asking if you are. See the question mark?

[Stargazer]

Sorry Naomi if I misunderstood. I am not one of those who like to stir things up but I do read many of these postings and am slightly surprised that almost without exception people are anti God. By the way I am anti religion.

[mibn2cweus]

Count up all those who believe or have believed in a god throughout history and you'll have a fairly accurate count. I don't know of many who believe in the same god . . . even if they happen to be sitting in the same pew.

[naomi24]

Stargazer, the people I think you're talking don't believe god exists so they aren't anti him. They're anti what has been created around the myth.

One but apparently in three persons.

How Many Gods Are There?

Given their number and the subsequent odds of having chosen the right one, most likely one less than the one you believe in . . . or none at all.

[BlueToffee]

I wish I knew!

[Terino000]

I don't know if it is a question of knowing but of belief. I believe, but I cannot prove, that you should love your neighbour as yourself.

1. Say (O Muhammad ()): "He is Allah, (the) One.

2. "Allah-us-Samad (The Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, He neither eats nor drinks).

3. "He begets not, nor was He begotten;

4. "And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him."

I think there is only one..... ME!

The missus was entertaining a tribe of 5 year old gremlins last saturday to celebrate our grandson's birthday. Being a duteous grandfather, I walked in with those funny goggle glasses on and Mrs WW said "oh my god!"

[fredkins]

I wish there was a real god because he would have seen my dad as he really was, a good, caring ,loving father and never would have taken him from us.

[TigerV]

None. Why do you ask?

[chakka35]

"The Encyclopedia of Gods" which I have on my shelf lists and describes over 2500 of them from A-a to Zurvan, of which the Judaeo/Christian 'God' is one of the least interesting.

(The book is by Michael Jordan and is published by Kyle Cathie Ltd 1992 pb1994)

[ll_billym]

Seeing as they exist only in peoples minds then I should say there are slightly less gods than there are people, this because some people's minds don't have a god in them.

[modeller]

According to goodlife there are more deities than people on earth therefore that's about 8 billion.

Well, that's me convinced and converted. I can't see anything remotely inconsistent, illogical or refutable in what you have said. It is reason perfected. Thank you for opening my eyes. Point me towards the nearest Mosque. I need to praise Allah.

[douglas9401]

There are none, but Earth bound vested interests know when they're onto a good thing.

Just an opinion mind, each to their own, within reason.



No, the reason thing's not going to work, I'll think about it some more.

[cupid04]

ONE!

[vulcan42]

Cupid, why have you chosen one and rejected all the rest? Why is the one you've chosen more credible then the rest?
