Checkmate Polytheists

[idav]

A true god would hoard all the power. Polytheism cannot win against Yahweh when they split up all the power like that.

Need I say, Check and Mate!

Compassion yields power.

 

[idav]

As soon as some power is shared, then that god will turn around and take the rest of it. Multiple gods just can't be trusted.

Good thing I don't worship Yahweh.

Good for you, true monotheism would end up putting the smack down on some trinity when part of god is busy fiddling with humans.

True. It's one thing to let a dog eat from the table but quite another to expect a dog to set a table.

Correct, dogs is a perfect reverse analogy for gods. Dogs will start eating all the food as soon as you share the table, keep them on the floor.

Ah, but pagan gods could swarm up on a mono-god. It's that old question about a horse-sized duck vs duck-sized horses.

An expected move in Game Theory.

I am afraid your trying for a stale mate but this will not work. Uh....horsey sized duck takes castle thingy. Checkmate again!

And, of course, feed them what used to be on the table. It's their due, after all.
