Polytheism Makes No Sense

All physical matter is made of the same core things. Protons, neutrons, electrons ... There can be no god "of" water, for example, because said god would also have control over everything else that's made of the same things water is made of... which is everything in the physical universe.

Even if we just have a theoretical set of "gods", that don't have designated powers over any one thing, polytheism still makes no sense. These beings can't be true gods if there are several of them. There would have to be some overarching concept that would make them "gods" as opposed to being something else. Whether it's some kind of power that is bestowed upon them, something in their DNA, or anything else, the mere fact that it has the ability to make things "gods" proves that this "overarching concept" is then higher, more powerful, more purely divine than all of the gods, and if this "concept" were removed from them, they would be mere mortals.

This also means there can be no god "of" music, or war. Without a higher being (in this case the power/DNA "concept") defining music or war, these things have no meaning. At what point does a disagreement become a war? Is it when some arbitrary number of people are fighting for the same cause? Is it when there's a certain amount of bloodshed? Is a simple fistfight a "war" just because there's violent intent behind the people participating in it? Also, when would a god "of" music have authority over a sound? Is there a certain amount of melody or rhythm that would need to be present for said god to have dominion over it, or to create/inspire it? Would such a god be incapable of creating certain kinds of music (such as noise or drone) because there's no melody or rhythm? Or is a god "of" music capable of having dominion over all things perceivable by the ear, including footsteps, wind, people chewing food, and so on?

In a monotheistic belief system, a deity is both a god, and the self-sustaining, overarching concept that facilitates divinity, at the same time. Thus, said deity is godly, divine, in and of itself. This is the most logical idea of a "god". A monotheistic deity has power over all things -- not JUST a small handful of ideas or elements -- and is the highest ultimate truth. There is nothing above a monotheistic deity, in terms of power or righteousness. Otherwise, the thing above that deity would be "god", not the deity. Also, terms like "music" and "war" can be given definitions by said deity, and hold up on their own merits. A monotheistic god of war would also be the monotheistic god of fistfights, small battles, and so on. A monotheistic god of music would also be the monotheistic god of all sounds.

I'm aware these arguments don't point exclusively to Christianity, but I feel they're important to say anyway. Polytheism is still prevalent in the world, and it's still leading its adherents astray. There are tons and tons of posts on here defending Christianity itself -- explaining why the singular, overarching higher power, is the God of Christianity, as opposed to some other kind of singular higher power, and I would very strongly encourage you to read some of them. The point of this post is simply............. polytheism is invalid!
