When atheists make the argument that "we are all atheists, about most of the gods humans have ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further" the most common Christian response is that pagan gods aren't tri-omni while the Christian god is. however, some pagan writers such as gemistos plethon applied tri-omni principles to pagan gods, so this isn't really a proper counter argument. I got the idea for this thread from the Lutheran Satire guy's video about the one god further argument.
>I'm a turbosatanist fallen angel that speaks like a chatbot pretending to be a Christian Sure buddy, you're not a true religion. Tho.
>>18721011Isn't it kind of tautological to say that should be the criterion? I could just as well that Thor is categorically different from the Christian God because Thor has a bitchin' hammer.
>>18721011I'm not really sure about either of the two claims in the OP:>the most common Christian response is that pagan gods aren't tri-omniI don't think I've ever seen this response. >gemistos plethon applied tri-omni principles to pagan godsNo idea what those principles are, but none of the gods were triune so the proposed 'most common Christian response' would still hold.
>>18721035watch the lutheran satire video I'm talking about and see his "Argument"
>>18721011>some pagan writers such as gemistos plethon applied tri-omni principles to pagan godsAlso Hindus believe in Brahman and the Ancient Egyptians believed every god was an aspect of Amun-Ra, but I don't see retarded e-Christians calling them monotheist like they constantly do with Greco-Roman philosophers.Having a first cause is not monotheist, nor is it at odds with polytheism.
>>18721011Plethon’s view shows that “tri-omni” isn’t uniquely Christian, so that response doesn’t by itself refute the one-god-further argument.
>>18722574yes, that's exactly my point. Pllethon believed Zeus was omnipotent, omnisceint, and omnipresent, and he associated Zeus with The One from neoplatonism.
