Alright, if all the gods/deities/divinities/whatever you want to call them, got into one big fight, who would be the last god standing?

Well I guess beings like God.allah would win since they are supposed to be all powerful and sentient as well with everything underneath them.

Well, if all the gods are in the ring fighting, then they must all exist. But if they all exist, then which one is the correct religion?
This argument creates many conflicts and fallacies, so it is not possible to accept that characteristics applied to said deitified individuals are inherently true.
So as it stands that all religions say that "we are right and all the other religions are not so correct as us", this creates a logical fallacy in that they have all been proven true which also proves all of them to be wrong.
You see, we're in the ether man. The face values of the religious outlooks have to be discarded to fulfill the quota.

Well, if all the gods are in the ring fighting, then they must all exist. But if they all exist, then which one is the correct religion? 1. This is an entirely hypothetical argument. So we are considering your conditions in your premise. 2. Do you know what the definition of a God is? Anything can be a god if enough people substantially believe in it. An idol, a frying pan, a statue, whatever. Just because people make religions and gods doesn't mean that they are right. And because one is right/wrong doesn't mean the others exist. Personally I think it is more of the relationship one has than the label they carry amongst themselves, that is something that mankind has created, and will have flaws. This argument creates many conflicts and fallacies, so it is not possible to accept that characteristics applied to said deitified individuals are inherently true. But mankind created these fallicies to begin with, we created the religions and gods to begin with, but the "winner" in this situation (who need not be named since it doesn't matter) would be the eternal one that was not created by man. But you'll see that several are actually vastly similar, even if the rules are different. Only one would have the characteristics. But that one can have many different interpretations by many people, no different than anything else that has the multiple interpretations by many people. So as it stands that all religions say that "we are right and all the other religions are not so correct as us", this creates a logical fallacy in that they have all been proven true which also proves all of them to be wrong. And logic is itself a fallacy in this case because it works with only the resources we as humans have to go on to, it can define an undefined variable. x+2=? x=? So we as humans can't prove beyond a shadow of a doubt any religion, but faith comes in there as well. There are many other things we believe in often that we can't prove beyond a shadow of a doubt. You see, we're in the ether man. The face values of the religious outlooks have to be discarded to fulfill the quota. In this argument of course, but it's hypothetical to begin with.

C, you totally missed the point my friend.
We have taken the plane of thinking and removed it from Midgard and into a hypothetical universe.
Ergo, we use that universe's logic, and then our logic to interpret that.

Ergo, we use that universe's logic, and then our logic to interpret that. But I saw that and it looked flawed. If we are going to change the basic principle of how we interpret something in apply it in a hypothetical setting, we can't apply the exact concepts to our setting and deem it to be logical. From what I read it's like saying Spiderman vs. Wolverine. Then saying the match can't happen because they don't exist. From the way I interpreted it, the argument appeared inconsistent. I know your basic argument was the foundation of religion being based off of "we are right and noone else is" making them all wrong, but our limited knowledge brings limited logic in that argument. If that made sense.

Let me put it like this:
We had to put the square peg into the round hole, so we shaved of the corners to make it fit.
Although we have not put, in purest terms, the original version of the square peg into the round hole, we have put the CLOSEST POSSIBLE thing in.

It won't fit quite right, but it will fit as well as it ever could.

I'd like a royale with cheese.
Also, Goku would win. I mean, supreme kai is the best that the next dimension has. And he sucks compared to Vegeta, much less Goku. Its basically a sure victory.
