I've been debating over this with a Muslim and he has pretty valid points. Allah, or Jehovah, is omniscient and omnipotent and omnipresent blah blah blah, he transcends humanity's needs, and he's not materially substantial. hypothetically, if there was a God store, I would gladly pick him up as my god.

I'm still waiting for those points to come up...

I wouldn't. It may be powerful, sure, but the rules of use are a real bitch.

Name one god that's exactly like Jehovah.

Brahma, Vishnu and other Hindu gods are supposedly omnipotent. What difference would that make, though?

Either way, Thor would kick his arse. I think an arse kicking trumps being verily smiteth.

Might makes...true?

But they're idols right?
to be honest I need some forte in a debate about why Allah is better than other gods. that's why I started this thread.

As are Allah and Jehovah, as far as I'm concerned.

Mayhap being smitten 'hip and thigh' covereth ye arse, and yea verily, most of ye other essential items?'

No way. If I was in the market for a god then it would be the meanest Goddess in the store. I want an utter bitch that will kick Allah's sorry arse back to the Jurassic. My goddess will have real breasts not man-boobs.

Hmm. Mebdh of the Welcoming Thighs sounds like my kinda goddess <swoon>

I'm with ya. If I was forced to choose, I'd be worshipping one of the paleolithic/neolithic earth mother goddesses, i.e. the Venus of Lespugue.

Ah, gentlemen. You seem to be after Bellona, goddess of war. But with rather better upholstery.

You mean Yahweh? What's so good about him anyway?

By the way, name any god that's exactly like one other god.

On the other hand, all gods are exactly alike.

Pure fucking fiction.

Technically, aren't idols thing like statues, such as can have feet of clay? I suppose that was before Islam was invented, with its virtual idol Mohammed who seems to be worshipped world-wide despite his feet being mired in genocide, child rape and other varieties of muck. Other delusions may apply, of course.
