Takes to long to list.

Why does that matter?
I said believe, not worship.

Why are they fake and your God is not?



Think outside your Western world box.

There's 7 billion people on this planet.. Some who live in remote areas and have never even heard of your God.
What happens to them?

I'm very glad you asked this because I have the answer. There is only one God and one way to Heaven. That is through his son Jesus Christ. The purpose of human life and why everyone is here is because of his sacrifice and his mercy so that we could live and accept him to see Heaven. God witnesses his truth to everyone. If it's not through christian friends, missionaries, or churches, it's through dreams, visions, and other supernatural events. A lot of people assume that people across the globe haven't heard about the good news of Christ but that is a lie. Billions across the world know who he is. Whether they have accepted him as their savior is their own issue. But all of that doesn't matter anyway. We are in a new age. God is getting ready to reveal himself to all life on planet Earth in a way that NOBODY will be able to deny. The great outpouring is coming soon.

No...you don't "get it".

If Michael Jordan is a "God" to someone...it means nothing more than that...someone chose to perceive Michael Jordan as a "God". He doesn't have to be perceived as a "God" by anyone else.
And no one...even the person that may perceive him as a "God"...is required to worship him, or any other "God" that is perceived by them or anyone else. They can worship if they choose...but that is also their choice.

So you're admitting humans are created Gods.

"Admitting?!!"---That's what I been tryin' to tell ya!!
Anybody can create a "God" out of anything or anybody...all they have to do is perceive it/them as a "God".

Same way all that giant list of "Gods" you listed came to be "Gods".

But here is the difference. You imply they aren't "God" because they are created by man. I state that they are "Gods" by that.
You define a "God" so narrowly...you feel "created Gods" are not "God".
But...the FACT is...the definition of "God" is much broader than that. I already proved that to you.
Though you don't want to accept that...because then you have to accept "God(s) Exist"...and your Godophobia will getcha!

I don't think he understand that you are just saying that "Gods" for sure exist just like "vampires" for sure exist, or how "harry potter" for sure exists. Alacran doesn't want to hear it, although all of your posts so far have been correct and consistent, he simply doesn't want to think about it the way you are, perhaps because he is indeed afraid of the very letters g-o-d(s). Also, if I were you, I would report him every time he insults you for trying to make a point.

CONTEXT.
CONTEXT.
CONTEXT.

A God in the forms he is using is not the same as what is being discussed

Moderator cut: delete

The word GOD is real and it exists. But that's IT.

God as a tangible real detectable thing does NOT exist.

Harry potter does not exist as a real detectable thing, but the word itself DOES.

Can you not understand that?

How many times do I have to keep repeating the same thing?
