Is it just a historical coincidence that a large proportion of people scattered around the world, believe in a single God?
Why not several Gods or Goddesses?
And why is Thor, Zeus, Odin and Loki considered 'silly' by so many Christians and Muslims?
Becuase Thor and the gang are considered fairy tales by Christains
I'm pretty sure Hindus wouldn't think there was anything "silly" about polytheism.

Good point.
Because when the scams based on the Judeo-Christian god (Jewish/Christian/Muslim god) started they realized that if they had many, they could easily start seeming less and less godly. The reason Romans were so secular is because with every emperor each one god more and more akin to a god, and they kept on dying and dying. So if there's only one, no one else good bring it down.

because my God's are better than your God
There are many reasons for that. But I don't want to go into detail, as I don't want to offend someone with different views

More to the point, how can people believe in their god? Even if we could prove god it would still be a 0.0000000001% chance you could prove a particular god.

Don't worry. We would like to hear your opinion/explaination on the matter.
Actually the majority of religions historically DID think that there were multiple gods.
Even Christianity has some evidence of this. The Holy Trinity, Jesus himself, the existence of angels, the pseudo-deification of saints and figures like Mary.
Part of it is storytelling. Its easier to tell a story with many characters rather than just one. And it is a reflection of the complexity of human existence. Humans really do have hundreds of different faces. If you look at religion as a manifestation of human consciousness in a collective sense, it is very appropriate that their are multiple gods rather than just one. People are pretty complex, even on an individual level.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
