Densely argued. Claims that any argument to prove the existence of one god must also prove the existence of others. Not entirely sure I follow that. Good for the type of people who argue theology. On second reading I feel that I completely missed his jump from a posited creator deity, Aletheia, to a multiplicity of gods. Good argument for theism, but other than the argument that if you accept perceptions of one god as real you need to accept others as well, I'm not sure he has truly defended show more polytheism.

On a third reading I feel he has skimmed over problem of evil in an unconvincing fashion.
