Fight between the gods

[Quagmire]

By rational and objective minds.

There are no rational or objective minds known to exist.

 

[Viker]

the question is "do gods fight"

if they do fight then one of them wins.
one which wins is god because it's superior.
one which loses is inferior and therefore not god.
therefore only one is god.

That's neither logical or correct. They're still both gods, just one of them with a bloody nose and bruised ego.

Isn't the question "Fight between the gods" and "cause the gods battle with each other?" ?

this boils down to 2 possible hypothesis:
1. yes
2. no

Famous trick question: "Do you beat your wife only on Sundays?"

If one says yes, then they beat their wife.

If one says no, then they beat their wife (on other days).

But what if they don't beat their wife at all?

The question about fights between Gods would be ridiculous if there were no Gods at all. Answering "yes, God's fight" or "no, God's don't fight" both assume that Gods exist. The question would be impossible to answer if no Gods exist at all.

Most of the responses to the OP are about whether or not Gods exist at all.

God cannot die and suffer.

Do gods play chess, football?

Absolutely.

 

[Viker]

God cannot die and suffer.

Then Jesus was never and still is not god.

My theologians know better my God, than you.

There are no rational or objective minds known to exist.

So we can reject your claim here given you eliminate yourself (and anyone else) for having a rational and objective mind.

And your claim means science doesn’t exist either.

If a god can not suffer or die, then it is impossible that he was god. Your theologians agree with me! Ever heard of this thing called a crucifixion? Probably not.

it's very much logical, one cannot be god and defeated.

The gods in my religion work together

that's what most polytheists say, but so far I never heard about how they define their gods.

existence of at least 2 gods is hypothesis here that is assumed to be true.
you can disprove one of them but not both.

I don't understand that sentence. Can you rephrase it.

And your claim means science doesn’t exist either.

No it doesn't, any more than your claim means religion doesn't exist.

Then, they both were not gods to begin with. A god just beat down a helpless victim.

 

[The Hammer]

There are no gods known to exist. Feel free to have this battle rage in your own imagination

Tell that to my friends.

God indeed cannot suffer, but Jesus was god man, that is, both god and man.
he thus suffered as man but not as god.

 

[Viker]

This looks like one of those "my daddy can beat up your daddy" kindergarten level threads in the making. I'll stick around long enough to find out then leave when the crayons start flying.

I don't think you'll ever see the contradiction in that.

Help us, God.

"Help us God" (regarding people fighting in his city).

It is my understanding that Christians voted for W. Bush, and he made wars in Afghanistan (Taliban allies captured bin Laden, but W. Bush attacked them anyway), Iraq (had nothing to do with terrorism, though the regime was evil), and tried to motivate wars in North Korea (orange alert scare tactics) and Niger (Wilson/Plame incident).

Just exactly how is God going to help us with war if the pious keep making wars?

I want to see the Godly pillow fight too

but in mythology there are also evil gods, evil god doesn't care to kick some ones ***.

Most ardent monotheists pay little attention to polytheism and refute anything they bring up anyways.
