Could there be more than one god?

Answer 1

That depends on what you think a God is. The common catholic perspective is that he is three beings in one (father son and holy spirit), so I suppose it could be said that the one god in monotheistic faiths is the collection of all higher intelligence or energy (not to sound too feral, just using broad language). If you assume (as I do) that god is not physical in the sense of being made of earthly matter, but rather just energy of some sort (in however many forms you happen to think it exists), then the entity you know as god cannot really be measured quantitatively (ie: counted), but qualitatively (measured, as with volume or electricity).

If you count any 'supernatural' or even magical being as a god, then I suppose you could say there are heaps of them in any religion (ie: angels, saints, the devil etc), but this is not what the word "God" commonly means in our language, as it has in others. If god to you means the boss of all such beings, then there can't really be more than one, unless they have differing morals, in which case a human could only really choose one of them anyway.

In short, No, at least by the commonly accepted definition of "God" in the English language. A very open topic which you need to think for yourself on.

Answer 2

only one he did mentioned the others were quoted as not real.
