Why only one? What logical reason is there to think that there is only a single god like being?

Polytheism is nothing new. In fact, monotheism is a relatively recent invention.

Yet I only see people advocating for a single creator. That makes me think their reasoning is grounded more in their beliefs than any honest attempt at reasoning.

Interesting. It takes two people to create a person, but it takes one god to create a universe...

On the other hand, how can one assume that god has any particular property, such as even being countable?
