Actually, the Gods of most religions claim all other Gods are lesser. Those of a monotheistic bent also have "there shall be no other Gods before me" type clauses that both affirm and deny the existence of other Gods.

Had a bunch more typed out, but I think I'm just going to let this end here.

I'd much rather talk about beer, fluffy pillows, and dust bunnies here in the UT...

As does the god of the atheist and the agnostic.

Fair enough.

“Actually, the Gods of most religions claim all other Gods are lesser.”
Stepping back a pace or two, would it be godlike to assert anything else? I mean, just how would a tribe of folks take revelatory information like this:

“Yea, I am Glurg the Lugubrious! Bow, for I am your God, and yea though I am more wimpy than the Gods of the Greeks and the Romans, yet I — wholly unlike them — am a bringer of chocolate, and handcrafted beer!”

...I’d much rather talk about beer, fluffy pillows, and dust bunnies here in the UT... Which is actually what it’s for, since there are religion threads and political threads. I found myself trying to scroll through the posts yeaterday, because, though I find the subject dear to my heart, I realized it’s really out of place here. So I just took my Nook and my Kindle and went to bed. Hopefully I can stay with the thread today. A little religion and a little politics here is always welcomed, but some days, one is overwhelmed when the data becomes redundant. (No apologies for that statement.)
