Christianity is a polytheistic religion.

Before I get much into my argument, I would like to clear this whole issue up about which definition of god I was using. Consider this, one word can mean many separate things, correct? This is true with the term "god", which can refer to the specific christian concept of god, or it can refer to the generally accepted definition of god. Unfortunately, the English language has not produced a system of distinguishing these two terms, and so even if I am referring to the latter, I still use the same word. Now, when I started this debate, I meant that Satan was a god per the generally accepted definition of god, not that he is described as a god by the bible. It is absolutely self-evident that I was using the word god to mean the general idea of what god is, because otherwise I would be contradicting myself. And since it is the only logical way to use the word in the way I used it, there doesn't even need to be argumentation about what my own words mean. Trying to convince me that I meant something different than what I actually know I meant is futile. If we are using the Christian definition of god, than I would be declaring that lucifer and yahweh are the same people, which is clearly a contradiction. To assume that this is what I meant is silly. It matters not what a religion calls their gods. A religion could call it's gods "bananas", but the English word that describes those things is not "bananas" it is "gods". So when speaking English, we refer to things which meet the definition of god as "gods" despite how religious people call it. The dictionary is more reliable than the bible when trying to find the meaning of words. My opponent says that Satan is not a god because he has limited power in the world. Many religions have had gods with limited power. In fact, one of the definitions of god on dictionary.com is "a supreme being according to some particular conception". This is one meaning of the word god which implies a god with limited power. Satan fits this criteria, and could therefore be called a god. The god of influencing Humans to sin or something along those lines. My opponent stated: "...Christianity does not have minor gods. Find a verse in the Bible or some Biblical text that says directly that Satan is a god." I can provide proof without quoting the bible. First of all, we both agree that Satan is a spiritual entity which has influence on one aspect of reality, correct? Well, this fits the afore mentioned dictionary.com definition, and therefore he could be considered a god. *I am not speaking Christ-ish, I am speaking English, and in the English language, the word god can mean the god of one aspect of reality.* My opponent stated: " However, this being a debate about Christianity, it was not absurd for me to have assumed that he would be using the definition of the Christian God." Yes, it would be completely absurd, because it would be a contradiction. What you assumed is irrelevant now, though. I have already clearly told you what definition I meant, yet you continue to "assume" that I meant a different definition. Sometimes a word means 2 different things and you have to clarify which one you meant, but you can't ignore that.
