it is more of a purported fact, or a "personal" fact, don't you think? As opposed to the kind of fact that is the same for everyone- such as, it is raining, or the temperature is 66 degrees.

The existence-status of that being is a fact that some do not acknowledge.

Oh, my.

Well.

Hmmmm.

That justifies a lot, no doubt about it. Too bad for me and mine, since you and yours have the Truth and we don't.

I'm wondering: Does your "fact" about "that being" you believe in the existence of and I "refuse to acknowledge" exclude, for example, the possibility that the Hindu pantheon, ie not a being, but many of them, might be the correct concept, and that therefore those who insist there is "a" being are in error in a significant way?

IOW: does "a god of some kind" include with respect the possibility that there are multiple gods?

There are 900 million Hindus, btw. Maybe some are lurking and might be interested to know.

Is the "fact" monotheism, or is polytheism also a possibility?
