If a sort of god has no limits, then there's no limit on its numbers.
The one God limits Himself to being the only God.
“God witnesseth that there is no God but Him, the Gracious, the Best-Beloved. All grace and bounty are His. To whomsoever He will He giveth whatsoever is His wish. He, verily, is the All-Powerful, the Almighty, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting.”
Gleanings From the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 73
The same logic applies: if one god can always have existed uncreated, then why not two? Why not many? If God #10, say, is omnipotent, then surely he would have the power to do this.
AGAIN, why would we need many Gods that fit the description below? Think about it.
“Regard thou the one true God as One Who is apart from, and immeasurably exalted above, all created things. The whole universe reflecteth His glory, while He is Himself independent of, and transcendeth His creatures. This is the true meaning of Divine unity. He Who is the Eternal Truth is the one Power Who exerciseth undisputed sovereignty over the world of being, Whose image is reflected in the mirror of the entire creation. All existence is dependent upon Him, and from Him is derived the source of the sustenance of all things. This is what is meant by Divine unity; this is its fundamental principle.”
Gleanings From the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 167
I think many versions of monotheistic gods are contradictory themselves, but why would multiple gods be contradictory?
It is the human conceptions (versions) of the monotheistic God that contradict each other; God remains forever the same.
As I've already alluded to, I don't think that assuming many omnimax gods creates any logical problems that weren't already inherent in a single omnimax god. However, omnimax gods aren't the only gods proposed by humanity.
You just hit the nail on the head when you said “gods proposed by humanity.” The thing is that humans do not determine what God is, God does.
Take Thor: you do agree that if Thor existed, Thor would be a god, right?
Why wouldn't your God be able to play nicely with Thor? Why would it be the case that your God and Thor can't exist at the same time?
IF Thor existed, but Thor does not exist, he is an imaginary god.
Thor cannot exist alongside the Abrahamic God because that God said there is no other God. Some people think the following verse means there are other gods that God is competing with, but that is not what it means. It means we should not worship false gods because there is only one true God.
Exodus 20:3
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
The New Testament further clarifies that there is only one God.
1Timothy 2:5
For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
And something else occurs to me: if it's logically contradictory for your god and some other god to exist at the same time, then if we can't exclude the possibility that some other god might exist, then we can't exclude the possibility that your God is impossible.
That is why we have scriptures of religions, to know the
truth about God.
John 18:37
Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
To use Thor again: if your God and Thor can't both exist together, then if Thor exists, then your God
cannot exist. This means that unless I can 100% prove that Thor does not exist, there will always be a chance that Thor might exist... which would mean that there's always a chance that your God is impossible.
That is why we have scriptures of religions, to know the truth about God. Show me where Thor has scriptures attributed to him, like Jesus has.
I do not evaluate God on His merits, that is backwards. God is the one who evaluates humans.
Any time we become convinced of an idea, we evaluated the idea and accepted it as true. You're convinced that God exists, aren't you?
I evaluated the Baha’i Faith but I never evaluated God. I was convinced that God exists after I evaluated the Baha’i Faith.
But all this is beside the point. Set aside the fact that you don't believe gods besides yours exist; do you acknowledge that if, say, the Greek pantheon existed, then there would be a whole bunch of gods even though none of them are omnimax deities?
IF the Greek pantheon existed in reality.
I cannot prove monotheism but I could make a good argument for it if I had time.
Seeing how you thought that "only God exists because only God exists" was an argument, I won't count on you being able to do this.
I guess you mean what I said “only one God exists because only one God exists. That was not an argument, it was a statement of my belief.
