Always to mind mind come three problems with definition of any concept of God:
1. First of all, we has to take anything or anybody that is someone like a hero, an icon, the best principle, the most super man, etc.
2. Further, we should check whether that deity's (a person, or a principle, or something; or many persons...) abilities are so ultimate powerful as we presume? Is this deity (or deities, or a person...) is the one and the only?
3. Finally, we need to be sure that what we presume as 'powerfulness' is really powerful thing. So, powers must do their function the best.
If a concept can't go through these question positively, then, hence, it won't be accepted as God.

So, powers must do their function the best. If a concept can't go through these question positively, then, hence, it won't be accepted as God. Expressions such as "God", "The Sun", "Rectangularity", etc., denote individuals or "one of a kind". So, to speak of God is to speak of only one divine being; however, this logical necessity does not imply that there is only one god or, to be sure, that a God exists at all. Historically, most countries have been polytheistic, for they empirically experienced many diverse powers, such as the stormy sky, the blossoming earth, and minor (smaller) powers. Monotheists inherited the conception that God (The God; a God) is an individual distinct from non-divine things, a particular being amongst others. What is postulated, but not given empirically, is that any God is personal (anthropomorphic: with a mind, a will, an inventive ability, and feelings -- as in the case of the ancient Greek myths). |
