See, that is the problem with this entire thing for me. You dismiss things without even properly understanding them, as is apparent by your complete lack of understanding of what Buddhism teaches and is about... and yet claim that you know the truth because you found this God.

And then you try to take the path of science to prove you are right, when you dont even know half of the other variables that could exist. Perhaps your God is one of many, and a lesser God at that. Hence his worry of people worshiping gods other then him, as is in the scriptures. And perhaps, since the entire concept of God(s) are hypothetical at best in terms of proving existance or non-existance, if you had taken the time to not be so instantly infatuated with the first neato thing you came upon, you would have found some of the Greater gods, ones that were greater, more benevelant, and more everything, then your God.

The lovely thing about that entire little hypothetical is, you cant prove it isnt possible. By the same reasons that your God can exist, so can other gods, and you cant disprove their existance. God himself made it a crime against him to worship any other gods. Thats a pretty interesting thing to think about... why not say false gods? Why not say psuedo gods, or anything else to make it so he was saying that he didnt want people putting fake gods before him... instead of other gods.
