If one God can exist then why not many?

Sure, why not?

Or maybe none?

Only an open mind can experience a cleansing wind.

Oh but they do. Or did. The funny thing about gods is that when people stop believing in them, they fade away. But many gods are believed in at present so there are indeed many gods.

Sounds like lucifer was a critical thinking chap.

If i were an evil god, i'd say we can't have that sort of thinking infiltrating my slave creation. Better demonize him.

The toughest god will beat up the weaker one and then claim to be the one real god.

That whole free will concept is one big wrench in the gears, huh?

how many time does god need to try and create until it realizes free will is a bad idea for what it wants in its perfect design?

There can be many God's. The bible even tells us that.

Genesis 1:26 " Then God said, “Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.”

No proof the passage refers to the Trinity (especially since the Trinity per se is a man made concept).

So yes, there can be many God's.

Huh ? I only believe in one God and He hasn't faded away.
