I often saw Muslims, who are silly enough to think that whoever has more monotheism wins, claiming that Christian belief in trinity is some kind of a polytheism.
It’s not, of course, it’s just one of the first real example of modern thinking in history, because today it isn’t uncommon to say that the same thing can be both wave and particle, or that a cat can be 50% alive. Apparently, a Muslim god can do everything except:
- be incarnated
- be incarnated while remaining in his original state
- be incarnated while remaining in his original state, and act as a spiritually uplifting and comforting force at the same time
Apparently, the only thing their God is capable of is sulking and killing, but that’s fine as long as he isn’t complex enough as to confuse his believers regarding his quantity.
After all, water is complex enough that it can be ice, water and steam in the same picture, but somehow such triune complexity is beyond Allah the akbar.
Its weird though, how Arabs denounced polytheism and adopted only Allah. Some scholars even say that Allah was one of the gods worshiped but was different in character
Monotheism is attractive because it’s a simple enough idea that the stupidest person can understand it and claim its superiority, and as such seems to be a sirens’ song to simple minds, especially the intolerant and violent ones.
Allah probably seemed like a perfect god for warring desert Arabic tribes, some kind of motivational force used in war that happened to spread through battle.
I think that is the reason why is he such a killing machine (his only power) and angry god, unlike Krishna who is both warrior and intellectual.
Allah is not a killing machine. Allah is a whining pussy, prodding his followers to be killing machines for him because this almighty god doesn’t seem to be able to fight his own wars and kill his own enemies. Krishna is a warrior, he fights his own wars. That’s a whole different matter.
