To me, immortality is the factor.A god is anything or anyone who is attributed a might that is greater than the one attributing it, so the statement that there are no god(s) is false. Correct?
Might in what, exactly? An adult gorilla is far stronger than any human could ever hope to be in the muscular department. Dolphins can out-swim us any day of the week... oh, and so can sharks, and catfish, and minnows, etc. The jaw strength of a crocodile is something no human could ever hope to possess. Are these creatures gods, in your estimation? You want to talk staying power? Look at trees. Some outlive humans by years numbering in the hundreds. And I'd like to see a human hold their place on the Earth in the middle of a hurricane as well as many trees can. Can plants be gods in your opinion?A god is anything or anyone who is attributed a might that is greater than the one attributing it, so the statement that there are no god(s) is false. Correct?

I mean all gods are immortal and that is why they are greater than us.Well, is that a personal requirement or a common use definition, or, well . . . you are just specifying. You would agree that a god doesn't have to be immortal, but you would question specifically immortal god's existence, is that correct?
Obviously not.
The might of the president of the Russian Federation is a lot greater than mine, but I don't regard Putin as a God.
