Of all the other gods out there, what makes yours so special? what makes yours the right god? doesn't every religion think their god is the right god?

Brief Response to The atheist claim:

This is a very often asked question by Atheists, Agnostics and Deists. How do we know that our God is the right God? Why not Zeus?

Firstly we have to define God. God is the creator of the universe. In order for something to create a universe it must:


1.) Exist outside of creation (space and time)
    -If God exists in creation, then he cannot be the creator of the universe. God has to be separate from his creation. 
2.) Be Immaterial
     -If God created matter, then he has to be immaterial, he cannot be matter. 


Let us take Zeus, for example-the god of lightning. Already we see that Zeus did not create the universe, so that should be enough to say he is not God. But Zeus is the god of lightning. We know that lightning is caused by a merge of high and low pressure. And that is caused by Earths weather patterns and that is caused by the sun and Earth's gravitational field and they are caused by space dust forming them and we can trace the causes all the way until we find that initial cause of the universe. So Zeus had a creator, that means he is not the creator of the universe. If Zeus had a creator and he is only limited to lightning and he has man-like features, then Zeus 1.) Exists inside of creation and 2.) Is material. So Zeus is not God. 

Let us take another example. Ganesha (the picture above). It is a God that resembles an elephant (material) and exists within creation. Therefore it is not God. 

The only God we can consider as being God is an immaterial God that exists outside of space and time. The God of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
