Why "one God"?

There is only "ONE GOD".

why did you accept it? How does this make sense? What are its properties? (volume, weight, mass etc,). What was/is its necessity?

Please post your comments.
Thanking you

Simply because who is only "One" and "Above all in all senses" is eligible to be named as "GOD".
"His" volume is above all,
"His" weight is also above all, &
"His" mass is also above all,
Simply :)

I think it depends on what religion we believe in.

For example Atheists don't believe in any religion hence they don't believe in any God./Gods.

For the religion which i believe in is saying that God is only one and that his reality isn't the same as ours and hence nothing that we know can be comparable to him, so simply describing him will be a matter of guessing.

Beh. I believe in Many Gods, not just one.

How is that ?

For example we have only one sun for our solar system.

We do. But that Sun does not operate alone. That Sun exists because of an earlier Sun. In fact, everything in this Solar System is made from the Dust of a Dead Star.

We have Earth, as well; a separate Being from Sun. Moon also is there. Plus the thousands of Others. To say nothing of Gravity, Magnetism, and other Forces, without which, none of them would exist.

Not one governs all the others. They all work in tandem together.

...

And there are plenty of Star Systems that have multiple Stars.

There are as many gods as anyone decides to feel like believing in, of course. Nor is that number necessarily a natural or stable number either.

I do not accept it. I'm a hardcore atheist and anti-theist.

It makes sense to many people because gods are human creations, and the idea of universal monotheism is a powerful lure for people who dream of an united humanity with certainty of destiny.

Most deities, and certainly most monodeities, are beyond physical properties, or perhaps have existence itself as their personal boundaries.

Deities have varying needs according to belief,

Everything is in plurality isn't correct statement.

I ain't saying how the sun came to existence but the fact that we have only one sun for earth and not 2, we have only one H2O which is water ...etc, so the argument that everything is in plurality doesn't make sense.

Who are your Gods that you know them.

I have already said that i believe that Islam is the truth and hence i believe what it says, some others don't believe in any religion and then they don't believe in any God/Gods.

That is my opinion and i don't know why it bothers you.

Why do you believe Islam is the truth though when it contradicts clear simple arguments like the one I have so far put forth? I could bring other arguments, but there's no need to bring a house to crush an ant, and you've yet to show monotheism stands up against the simplest of arguments.

Monotheism just makes sense to me. All is one, One is all. It feels right. You can only have one beginning of everything and one end of everything. And one God to make it all happen.

But, aside from that, I believe in Monotheism because I've had an experience and have come to know the reality of the 'Abrahamic' God. Monotheism or Polytheism never really came into it, And what I mean by that is that it wasn't really a choice.

The Bible reveals there is only one true God; "one God and Father of all." (Ephesians 4:6) Since I am convinced the Bible is God's Word, I accept the reality that Jehovah is the One and only God. All other gods are false and nonexistent, IMO.

Yes in YOUR opinion because you certainly can't prove otherwise. How can your god be the one true god if there are no others to begin with?

There are plenty of false gods. None of them can prove their Godship.
Jehovah does and has proven his claim to be the only true God, by
  • Foretelling his future purposes and bringing them to reality.
  • Acting in human history when his purpose required it. Example: Jehovah destroyed Egypt as a world power to release the Israelites from slavery and to magnify himself as the only true God.
  • Revealing himself through his creative works
  • Providing his Son as a ransom for sins and resurrecting him from the dead.
  • Recording the truth about himself, his will and purposes in the Holy Scriptures
  • Raising up a great crowd of witnesses who worship and serve Jehovah at all costs

OK maybe there are possibilities of the existence of multiple Deities. But I find myself comfortable with the idea that God must be omnipotent and one, since He don't need many forms to do His work. If I were a polytheist I would have gone with the path that believes that there is either a Godhead or all the Deities are part of or just different versions of the Supreme One. But it is also possible that maybe there are many Deities and that they may not be omnipotent. I am still trying to find out though and it is ultimately the truth that matters.
