I forgot to add that monotheist gods are

intolerant of other gods:  No other god but me -

to be a member of the pantheon - 

almost a million in Hinduism.

No monotheistic god would elevate

humans to their level, in the stratified

hierarchy of god and humans. This would be 

an  invitation to Idolatry, deification, parallel 

worship and democratization of the 

spiritual world.

I suspect that there is a confusion here between

Igbo and Hebrew theology.

When did the over jealous god say that?

Is he ready to compete with other gods?
