After you enter your final option, you still have to click "Add" or whatever to bring up yet another blank one.

I can't vote in the poll. I don't believe in a 'being'. 'Being' suggests personification, and I do not believe the higher power is personified.

As to the question of how many... 1. God is everything/everyone and everything/everyone is god.

for me pantheism seems atheistic.
I guess its just my literal mind.
If I believed in God I would have to go with the guy with the beard that wrestled Jacob
and ate with Abraham. If something is not physical I have a hard time thinking that it
is real.

of course.
and of course I am a anti-Platonist.
so I reject the priority of Ideas over Objects.

Interesting. I'm a thinker, and ideas are quite important to me.

touche'. :) I don't reject thinking I reject the idea that the Immaterial (unreal)
is more important than the Material (real).
for instance I don't think communism is more "real" than the life of my child
or that the republican party is more "real" than a chair rather that both things are
less real then my daughter or a chair.
Theistically it comes down to an aesthetic argument.
If God exists and is the supreme being.
then the quality of physical existence would be necessary to make him supreme.
because in my opinion existing physically is superior to existing as an Idea.

Heh... not touche'. I really don't think one has to be put above the other.

Perhaps there should be an "Anything is possible" option..

I believe that religion is man-made, that all the gods and goddesses are probably different interpretations of the same thing.. Based on that, I was about to pick the first option, but realized I can't because I don't know that they truly add up to One... maybe Two... maybe Fifty... maybe Nothing...

I am but an ignorant, unseeing hominid... I have no truths, just ideas.

Me too, I thought maybe a discussion on whether or not they were Knights in Satans Service; the rumor that went around when they were popular, along with rumors of Satanic messages when the records where played backwards.

Attention getting topic header, I think. I believe many people will give it a look.

@ Philoslogos:

That neccessity to click on another poll option to create an additional blank poll option before you click submit, is not user friendly, but if you realize you forgot to add the additional blank poll option and find your self at the blue screen that asks you if you want to view the message or return to the forum, you can go back to the previous screen and add the option. That saved one of my polls.

After you submit this correct poll you can erase the first incorrect poll if you get to it before someone else does. If they do and you can't delete the incorrect duplicate poll, I think a moderator wouldn't mind deleting or locking the duplicate poll for you.

Sorry, if there is too much detail in that explanation, but I have a hard time KISS.

As far as the poll I would go with TeaEarlGrays option, except I will leave open the option of being beyond my understanding of personification and imagination. In other words God is everything I know, don't know, can imagine, and can't imagine.

For the KISS version: God is All.

Isn't that one divine entity?
