Have another pearl on me from Mike.
If one posits the existence of a god or gods able to communicate their presence to human minds, then as an inevitable result of the existence of that god or gods, it would be expected that all humans, or at least the priests who claim communications with the god(s), would have a unanimity of opinion as to how many gods there are.
Likewise, if one posits the existence of a god or gods able to communicate their existence to human minds, then as an inevitable result of the existence of that god or gods, able to communicate to human minds, all theologies would be in accord, and there would be no need for missionaries, let alone inquisitions and holy crusades. The religion of Abraham would have stayed unified, rather than split up into Christianity, Judaism, Sunni, and Shi'ite over what amounts to a bunch of soap opera arguments.
But there is a diversity of opinions as to how many gods there are. And there are missionaries, crusades, the inquisition, and the burning of a million heretics.
The world is not as it would be if there was a god or gods which could communicate their existence to the minds of humankind. None of the conditions which must inevitably follow the existence of a god or gods able to communicate their existence to the minds of humankind can be found anywhere on Earth.
Quod Erat Demonstrandum, no such gods exist.

http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/ATHEISM/inquisition.php#ixzz3UCkn2sq1I like this post.. it's almost as if in accord with what I have been saying:
With regards to god, how many subordinate's are there? I agree that many societies could at least get a grip, and work out just how many there are. Me, I KNOW the angels are planet's, and henceforth, so must the demons be. There you are, that's how many angels and demons there are, just look up. Now agree on how many there are.
Now we could go all fantastical and say:
The cardinal points are angels/demons. The hours of the day, down to the minute of each hour, and the second of each minute also have names.
This is not about who is angelic or demonic, but proof of allegory. For instance, I notice earlier post's on Thor, god of.. THUNDER. Zues, god of the sea.. Who is the winged messenger?
What ilness did you get today? Are those negative thoughts really yours, or is someone else thinking of you, and hence you think? Ears not hot? They must be talking about someone else.. Get the feeling your being watched? Your not wrong.
All is cause and effect, know the effect's of your cause, become god.
So what I have been saying all along, is the proof is staring you in the face, not that god exists, but that angels and demons do. therefore it stands to reason that they are subordinate to THEIR laws, and do what has been proven for at least 64.000 years, or NO religion would exist, for they'd have no evidence that would be of any use if there were indeed none. The fact they have been fighting for the hearts and minds of men, is because if we were taught the proper stuff, we would become more powerfull than those who want us as SUBORDINATE to them, them being religious freaks on a power trip.
The fact the universe is a mental construct creates one thing you fail to realise, in that if god COULD make his presence known, he would have to do so IN this mental construct, proving he COULD communicate with humans, mentally, and the next would be completely unaware of it.
