All your answer proves is that you do not realize that there is only one God. I assumed you did, but I was wrong.

The existence of polytheistic cultures does not "demonstrably disprove" that there is only one God, any more than the existence of dog-worshippers proves that my dachshund is the Creator of heaven and earth.

Their existence disproves Chesterton's nonsense statement. The ancient Greeks did not believe in a singular god, yet they believed in many things that contributed to our society.

Like abortion, right? Only in their case it was the father who could unilaterally order that the infant be "exposed" after it was born.

Second, even if true, there's no empirical way to deduce you picked the right one.

Your second statement is self-contradictory.

If there IS only one God, there cannot be any other one to pick.

So it is meaningless to speak of "picking the right one."

Smug condescension FAIL.

IF being operative word.

there cannot be any other one to pick.

You guys are hysterical. I always laugh when a Christian tells me he's a monotheist.

I laugh when an atheist ties his shoelaces together and trips over them.
“I *meant* to do that!” he says.
