...In theology, monotheism (from Greek "only" and "God") is the belief that only one god exists.“Monotheism”, in Britannica, 15th ed. (1986), 8:266. The concept of "monotheism" tends to be dominated by the concept of God in the Abrahamic religions, such as Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and the Platonic concept of God as put forward by Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite. Some forms of Hinduism also use this form of religion. Read full entry

know what you think the world
would be like today if all
religion except monotheistic
religion (ex: Christianity,
Judaism, Islam) never existed.

A lot different. Religion is part of culture (just read the classics or look at the pictures of the old masters), without Christianity and Judaism much of modern Western culture would be different. The absence of religion, monotheistic or otherwise, does not mean that scientific progress would occur unhindered. Just consider the state of the Australian Aborigines. They were without monotheistic religion and yet their culture remained neolithic, at best. As a matter of fact, Christianity was one of the major factors that held together the Roman empire (with the attendant advantages and disadvantages which this caused). So yes, the world would have been entirely different. Whether for better or worse is beyond my ability to predict. |

Since the apparent three SHARE A SINGLE NAME per Matthew 28:19, it seems that "they" ARE ONE. Mt 28:19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the NAME of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.... Name, NOT NAMES. |
