The "Godwins" Law is often cited informally as saying that in a battle between "God" and "gods", God wins (otherwise known as reductio ad victoriam Dei). The rule does not make any statement about whether any particular god, though, from context, one would assume that Yahweh (the Jewish God) is meant. It is precisely because so many gods existed in the world in the surrounding countries that Ezra made his statement about God's singular superiority, thus nullifying the power of non-Jewish Gods entirely. Although in one of its early forms Godwin's Law appears to have referred specifically to the Hebrew God Yahweh, other competing religions have since seized upon the idea and it is currently the most prevalent on Earth. The law is now cited by individuals in discussions held anywhere, from ch

  • The "Godwins" Law is often cited informally as saying that in a battle between "God" and "gods", God wins (otherwise known as reductio ad victoriam Dei). The rule does not make any statement about whether any particular god, though, from context, one would assume that Yahweh (the Jewish God) is meant. It is precisely because so many gods existed in the world in the surrounding countries that Ezra made his statement about God's singular superiority, thus nullifying the power of non-Jewish Gods entirely. Although in one of its early forms Godwin's Law appears to have referred specifically to the Hebrew God Yahweh, other competing religions have since seized upon the idea and it is currently the most prevalent on Earth. The law is now cited by individuals in discussions held anywhere, from church to school to political discussion, any threaded online discussion: electronic mailing lists, message boards, chat rooms, and more recently blog comment threads and wiki talk pages.
