    Multiple religious identities is the norm in most of the world, just likle bilingualism (and some would argue bisexuality).

    male devotees

    Is anyone else a male devotee of the Goddess? Many people find it strange that they find out I am devoted to a female deity when I'm male. They are even more suprised when they find out I'm not gay or a feminist.

    Indigo children.

    I was an indigo child. It's quite a painful experience because everyone else is so young and indigo children are so old. Any questions about indigo children ask me. Of course not all indigo children are the same.

    what's your favourite...

    Aphrodite was Uranus and Gaia's daughter, not Zeus's. She is older than Zeus. My favorite would be Dionysus but I don't know why.

    A myth is a story meant to explain something we don't know based on what is already known. Therefor, scientific theories are technically myths. Myths, religious or scientific, are not necessarily wrong.

    Cao Dai

    Cao Dai seems to be a syncretic religion. I know they revere the left eye, it being the window to the soul since the heart is on the left side. It's relatively young, starting in the late 1800s. Mixes Hinduism, Taoism, Buddhism, Catholicism, traditional Vietnamese beliefs, and maybe more.
