The word monotheism comes from the Greek monos, which means one, and theos, which means god. Thus, monotheism is a belief in the existence of a single god. Polytheism, is the belief in many gods. Neither definition specifies whether such gods need be "omnipotent, omniscient, or omnipresent" as there is no need for them to be as such. Therefore the teapot and FSM do qualify as being monotheistic gods in this respect.

Also, there is no need to liken the FSM to the teapot, just as there is no need to liken either of them to any other gods any more than there is a need to make any comparisons between Buddha and Allah. It was your choice to do so, but it was incorrect to assume it necessary to define any of them. Therefore I'd just like to reiterate, that the teapot and FSM are indeed monotheistic gods. Now if you like you can argue that they aren't as impressive as an "omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent" god, but that in itself does not make them any less valid, just less appealing to worship. BTW, since it is stated that the FSM is the one and only god and it did create the universe, I do believe it is just as worthy of being worshipped as much as any other god you may have in mind.

<edit> Wow, it's late. Good night all.

It's fun, isn't it? Playing with the idea of proving God, or not?

Consider, the only way we prove things is with what we have to prove them. What we have are the things of the universe, and there are a whole lot of these that we don't yet know how to use, maybe don't even know they exist.

So how are we ever going to prove a God Who, in part, exists outside the universe?

Exactly! We build a house, and sometimes we are in it, and sometimes we are outside of it.

Think about a zoo. We build the zoo. Sometimes we go inside it, and sometimes we go outside. But we often keep the animals in cages, so that they can't go outside of the cages, even into the zoo proper, and certainly not outside of the zoo.

I'm very sceptical of anyone who think's it's cool to talk about God, but wont acknowledge him, in the form of 'G-d', yet you use the full word 'Devil'.. why dont you's who do this say the word GOD?

Why are you so afraid of 'O'?

This is more than a valid question, for there are many religious 'sect's', or 'cult's' who are nothing more than religioun's. To be a member of a religion, you must believe in god or his/her opposing factor. What are you afraid of, creating the 'graven image'? Answer - YES. This 'graven image' is not the letter O, the number 0, but the LOOP, where life repeat's itself in all it's guise's, this would be the EVIDENCE of god full stop. But no-one will accept this. It's like, not quite a donut shape, or a toroid, but akin to these shape's, it's more like a loop where we discover everything in existance fit's into the smallest space that no microscope can see, even the hydron collector has problem's with it, for scientist's are 'seeing' a third light created when splitting a light particle and sending it (them) through two slot's, and when this happen's, it has been noted that there APPEAR'S a third light particle, yet everytime the scientist's attempt to record ths FACT, they cannot. They can see it for sure. They know it happen's every time they test.. but try recording it using camera's, or any scientific equipment as advanced as even the hydron collector, nope, they cant. They can see it with their own eye's, as can we if we had that type of access, but we cannot 'scientifically' prove what we see. We can agree, debate, argue, go fuckin insane, but we KNOW we can see the 3rd light, that, according to all our knowledge, CANNOT, but does, exist. Allow me to remix 'Thou shalt not create any graven image' - Thoust CANT create any graven image, ha, fuckin ha. This is proof of an intelligence that allow's us 'seeing', but NOT recording, said graven image, and lol, the FACT that this 'image' is nothing more than light. Or as I stated in earlier post's, the test equipment cannot record it, because they have not been made to. By design? Who know's

This thread has provided more than enough evidence for the proof of god in the following format:

'Proof' is regarded as accepted by many, as it was before any electronic gadjet's were made to provide scientific proof, in the form of test equipment or the like. By splitting one light particle into two, and as they pass through the 'card' with the two slot's in it, the third light is produced.

Religion cannot really be used in this 'search', for no matter what one religion 'MAY' accept as proof, another will decry it as nonsense, despite the fact, 'Seeing is believing'.

I on my own provided more evidence using nothing more than my own head, and the fact that knowledge is wisdom, and far superior to any book conceived by man.. after all, just like the hydron collector, the religious book's only tell us what they want us to see, using nothing more than what is, at best, hearsay.

Do your search for the creative thought that grew in the abyss (of time - time is the abyss), for time existed before the creation spoken of in said book's.. This creative thought, is the first action of the mind that allow's us to form the word'(s) we speak. The thought come's from this 'chaos' (dunno why they call nothing, chaos) and vibrate's becoming the sound this diety used to speak the word's 'let there be light'. Look outside. How does all that fit in your head? It cant.

Because it's not up there.. Only when you learn to become 'formless' will you know the truth of what is written in this post alone. Accept it or not, this is the story of creation in it's simplest form.

Your just not allowed to record it.

That, is nothing more than man made nonsense (letter's n number's) which mean nothing in a formless world. This world, and all in it, only have form because we have been 'shown' it by said light, without that light, what we ALL wrote mean's nothing..

If is true, then negative zero divided by x—such that x is an element of the set of all real numbers or an element of the set of all complex numbers—equals negative zero.
