Suppose for the sake of argument that the Judeo/Christian/Islamic god exists and that it has performed many great feats of strength and power as described in the various sacred texts. How could we possibly know that this god is not simply a puppet on the string of a greater god or goddess who is more powerful than this god? Suppose the super-deity decided to purposely delude the Judeo/Christian/Islamic god into thinking that he is in control of the universe, when in fact, he is not, and is simply a creation of a more powerful deity?
I understand that this is a far-fetched thought experiment. Yet it is a valuable one in that it shows how we can never ultimately prove that the claims of a monotheistic religion are true.
