Monotheism came before polytheism

I'm sorry. I didn't realize Plato represented the entire population of Greece from all times. I admitted some Greeks were monotheists, I was specifically talking about the Greek myths that had a hierarchy of gods. Around 1200 BCE [1], many Greeks believed in the mythology. Plato was born around 428 BCE [2]. Plato may have held the concept that there was a singular God, but he came after.Sorry, I assumed that was common knowledge. Take the Iliad for example, where the Greeks under Agamemnon went to war with Troy to get back the "captured" Helen of Troy. Source number three is about the role the gods had in the war, especially what side they chose.Yes, the Greek gods did not work together as oftenly as the Trinity (doesn't change the fact that three God characters are worshipped in your religion). However, if we dive into the Bible, we do not see such constant consistency on the part of the Trinity. Matthew 27:46 "About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" (which means "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?")."[4] Obviously Jesus changed his mind when it came to that whole crucifixion thing.Mate, are you not even reading the things I say? I said that Egyptian cities may have had only one, monotheistic god, but they had polytheistic attributes, such as not deny other people's gods and even absorbing them.No, that wasn't a non-sequitor! I was talking about your Bible verse and how ridiculous it was. To quote from YOU, "21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles." Not only is this ridiculous to state that everyone's heart that wasn't a Christian turned dark, it is also insulting/ridiculous to state that every person that has ever lived had not only a concept of a monotheistic god, but your monotheistic god. If anything, that verse is just trying to find an answer to what happens to the people that never heard of your God, and the answer is burn them. I'm also going to throw in how it is also insulting to other people's religions to call them fools, and especially arrogant to suggest you are wise for believing in something that has yet to be demonstrated. You seem to think that for me to deny that monotheism came before, and necessarily evolved into, polytheism I must take the side that polytheism came first and started monotheism. No. The Burden of Proof is on you to show that you are correct. I do not have to show that the opposite is correct, just that you're reasonings and arguments are flawed enough to be dismissed. You also haven't shown that the polytheistic religion of the Nordic people were once monotheists, which would show that monotheism wasn't a universal concept that evolved into polytheism... That evolved once more into monotheism?Sources:[1] http://messagenetcommresearch.com...[2] http://www.ancientgreece.com...[3] http://www.booksie.com...[4] http://biblehub.com...;
