Actually it's around because if you read the early sections of the bible [after the Genesis story and the Noah bit which were kind of like plugins], the God Abraham is talking to is incredibly polytheistic [as is Ur itself], so it makes sense that that "Anti Polytheism" bit maintains its way into the Moses story.
Of course all of this promptly falls apart at the 3 in 1 god trick.

You actually found a post I made a while back! Good for you!!! Too bad it's been like, over two years since then and I've learned more about global warming. Plus who says opinions can't change? Opinions can change. But YOU never admit that. Do you want me to search where you claimed that you always thought GW is real but not man made. See you admited that now because I caught you. You are always sure you are right you dismiss hard cold facts you refuse to look at evidence (for example you didn't even look at the link I gave you) When people overwhelm you with evidence you just ignore it and play the victim card heck I even think that the more people tell you you are wrong the more you think you must be right. For example is Obama an US citizen? Or a Christian? In 2 years time after gay marriage is adopted in all the country and no gay will sue the churches and after "Obamacare" is proven to be a very good idea (in 10 years maybe) will you admit what you are saying now is wrong. I honestly don't want to gang up on you as this is not " Gang up on Robert " thread but this constant victimization and "lalalalalalalalala... can't hear you" attitude and your dismissal of every proof and reality based on uninformed sources (including your parents) is bordeline insanity. Know what? This is my last response to you ever. I will stop responding/quoting you because it's incredibly tiresome and if I ever break this promise please call me on it

It's not up to us to interpret or judge the Word of God, or even what you've been told is the Word of God.
Look in the mirror. Your very life is a miracle.
It does not matter if you believe in God or not.
Like gravity, God exists...period, whether you believe He does or not.
Love your Creator, whomever you believe your creator is. Just be grateful you exist and have been granted powers.
Then love people.
...and that's all I have to say about that.

The thing is, though, take someone like S. F. Giants, who has outright insulted my and my life many times before. Does he get ganged on? No. Why do I? Because I'm different. No, its because he's insulting one person (you), and nobody else is involved. You offend large groups of people, then seems surprised when they all want to reply. Plus there's the obvious point that he doesn't keep turning threads into discussions about himself, which tends to prompt replies anyway. On the occasion that he's posted things that more people haven't agreed with, or been ruder to groups of people, the mods have been a lot stricter with him, and I know I and others have argued with him on plenty of occasions anyway. PS: how you think anyone else acts is totally irrelevant to how people see you. That's just mean to accuse me of that. There's a difference between posting your opinion, and saying "you are all wrong and I am only right" To be honest I don't care how people treat me, but when you start claiming that I'm doing things that I am not doing, then it get annoying... You actually found a post I made a while back! Good for you!!! Too bad it's been like, over two years since then and I've learned more about global warming. Plus who says opinions can't change?

For example is Obama an US citizen? Or a Christian?

Know what? This is my last response to you ever. I will stop responding/quoting you because it's incredibly tiresome and if I ever break this promise please call me on itSo because I change my opinion about something I am thus a stupid person who disrespects everyone, but if someone else changes their mind when they find out they are wrong, they are given respect? I know that I'm more vocal, but I've apologized before on here, and people claim I'm still rude? Maybe/ Maybe I won't. I still don't think Obamacare or gay marriage is right, and even if gays never sue the church I still will disagree with it. Obamacare is so obviously bad it's not even worth arguing about. Looks like I'm not the only one with an attitude on here...

That's just mean to accuse me of that. There's a difference between posting your opinion, and saying "you are all wrong and I am only right" True. And you do the second one most of the time. I'm not sure which part of my post you think was mean, but yeah, I'm accusing you of being rude and offensive to a lot of people a lot of the time, and of frequently making threads into discussions about yourself. To be honest I don't care how people treat me, but when you start claiming that I'm doing things that I am not doing, then it get annoying... For someone who supposedly doesn't care, you sure bring it up in threads a lot. And as for what you are or aren't doing... well, your opinion on what is or isn't offensive basically revolves around what is or isn't offensive to you personally, not what anyone else may be offended by in your posts. In other words, yes you're often rude or offensive to people, and never seem to notice because you don't seem able to understand the idea that some people aren't like you. Then, as soon as anyone points it out, you act like a victim and claim people are ganging up on you.

That is incorrect. Romans 1:20 - "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse." In other words, even if people aren't 'told' about God, they should have a basic knowledge of the world around them and how complex it is which shows that it was a 'creation' from a 'creator'. If they deny this then they are without excuse. I think science gives us a great understanding of the world and how it works A few things that simply don't make sense: The Bible says god created light on the first day (Genesis 1:3) but he created the stars on the 4th day (Genesis 1:16). That just doesn't make sense. There's a talking snake that tricks you into eating fruit (Genesis 3:1). God decided it was bad for people to build a tower towards the heavens so he waved his magic hands and no one spoke the same language any more (Genesis 11:1-9) Jesus (who is "god" as a part of the trinity) has to get himself killed to settle a debt that he (god) imposed upon himself. If one is to believe what the bible says, then adultery is punishable by death (Deuteronomy 22:22), if you find a virgin and sleep with her you can pay her family 50 shekels of silver and she will then be your wife (Deuteronomy 2:29), you can't grow two different crops at once or wear clothing made out of two types of materials (Leviticus 19:19), you can't cut your hair or beard (Leviticus 19:27), etc etc. It just doesn't make sense to me. In order to understand at least "some" of what the Bible is saying to you, you have to be able to interpret "symbolism." Don't take everything literally. Remember, the passages to this book were written eons ago when languages were completely different than they are today. They were also written in Hebrew, Arabic and Greek. You have to be able to take these things into some kind of perspective. If you read the St. James Bible and try to interpret it without some serious help, you are going to have difficulty. I suggest that you get access to a Thompson Bible and see how it's written in modern English. That "might" help you some but you also need to have some Bible scholars around. Consider some type of "Sunday School" class in your area. Of course, all sects interpret the Bible and the Koran differently so you mostly have to use your own judgment to figure this stuff out. Good luck with that.

And sure enough instead of trying to kill the topic and let it die, here come more responses repeating everything... And "sure enough" there's Robert the victim again trying to tell someone else they're in the wrong for continuing a conversation he started in the first place. If you keep arguing your side of things, then so will I. I don't know why you'd expect any different. We're not playing some sort of Law of Robert game where you get the last reply and everyone just has to listen to you and try to guess when you've decided they can;'t reply anymore.
