Let's start off this sub-forum debate between Monotheism and Polytheism with a Historical Argument.
Since the majority Polytheistic Religion of today is Hinduism, here's a question for Hindu Friends.
"German archaeologist and linguist Max Muller argued the same for the Hindu religion:
There is a monotheism that precedes the polytheism of the Veda; and even in the invocation of the innumerable gods the remembrance of a God one and infinite, breaks through the mist of idolatrous phraseology like the blue sky that is hidden by passing clouds.6"
From:
https://answersingenesis.org/world-religions/does-monotheism-predate-polytheism/The argument would be formulated like this (1) Monotheism and the Reality of a Single Creator God is older than the idea of many false gods (2) it's reasonable to think this collective memory of humankind or historical remembrance of civilization emerged from a revelation of God to man (3) Therefore, it's reasonable to believe God wants His children and His devotees to be Monotheists and not Polytheists.
Thoughts?
Let's Debate.
God Bless.
