Oh, wait... they changed that around when they adopted it for Christianity, right?
Yeah, like the whole one God thing was so original. At least ours can pull some Devastator type shit and be three people at once.

I have the strangest mental image of Dick Cheney as Emperor Palpatine, yelling "Unlimited Power!!!" while shooting lightning from his hands.

Many African tribes had developed a belief in a single Creator-God before any of the "Western Religions." While they also believed that spirits existed -- i.e. ancestral spirits, animal spirits, forest spirits, etc, the World was the result of one creator God.

Well, they both started out good.......and slowly let power corrupt them and blind them to everything else.
They say that in the Army,
the women are mighty fine.
They look like Phyllis Diller,
and walk like Frankenstein.

Shinto believes in one sun goddess, but "the 8 million kami." In any event, I said "for the region."
