    I prayed to all the gods, none have answered back...

    Okay so many have pointed out that many deities are not specialised in healing. It's true I have not prayed to healing deities specifically. Perhaps I can try that. Healing is important to me because in another life if I was healthy I would be a doctor myself. Even before I developed my illness...

    Interesting. A quick google search references Equimanthorn as related to Odin and his Stallion. Am I right? Can you explain more please?

    This is lovely, thank you. I really appreciate this answer.

    For me all the proof I really need is if one did what they claimed to do. Jesus is meant to be a healer for example. But I am not healed. Even though I was sincere in my faith for so long and didn't commit to him just for healing. But realised eventually no one was answering my prayers. So.... Yeah?

    Yes lol I am seeing a doctor thanks :) But I have an illness that doesn't have a cure right now. It can only be managed. Which is still good. I am not complaining, doctors are wonderful. I think really there needs to be some actual evidence that these deities exist.

    Yes, I can relate to this. When I really questioned everything I believed in, in the end I wanted to continue believing in Theism because I was afraid of dying. I try not to let that fear control me now though.

    Thank you, this is a really brilliant response and explains everything clearly. I think your way of seeing things is cool.

    What do you make of God/s

    Not really but the term has been expanded a lot since Jung.

    Thank you. Can you tell me why you believe what you believe? I want to know more about the idea of reincarnation and what makes people believe in it.

    So do you believe in God now or not? Your answer is unclear, but you said that we manifest our own gods. Does that then make them real? Or just images within the mind?

    What do you make of God/s

    What Jung came up with. Hard for me to explain. Sort of like a love deity represents the archetype or 'image' of love, then we idolise it to take on those traits. If that makes sense?

    Yeah thanks, things have remained amicable between us :)

    I prayed to all the gods, none have answered back...

    Interesting answer, but I have to reply similar to above. If I was a doctor and some nice lady came to me asking for help curing a condition that she has and it's in my power to relieve her burden and she offers something in return that is valuable to me (such as a bit of money), why wouldn't I...

    I prayed to all the gods, none have answered back...

    Why not? If they are supposed to be greater than us and have magical abilities, why couldn't they heal me if they wanted to?

    I prayed to all the gods, none have answered back...

    I do both equally..

    I prayed to all the gods, none have answered back...

    Okay. So I am chronically ill. I was raised in a Christian family. My mum kept telling me Jesus would heal me. But after time I realised my belief in him and prayers were doing nothing. Even when I tried sincerely to hold onto the faith. So I became atheist. But every now and again I still get...

    What do you make of God/s

    I don't believe the gods are real, but more like personifications or archetypes. Egyptian- I think I would've loved to be Egyptian, I think the Egyptian gods are very aesthetic. Greek- Greek deities are classics and we can all relate to them in some way. Roman- I think they are mostly...

    Spiritual Enlightenment: what is it/what it is.

    That's not what I said, that's what you interpreted :) Yes I have learned, evolved and progressed through life experience, as children do into adulthood, but that's not to say I believe there is a journey that takes us to a final destination. It's not a means towards an ends.

    Spiritual Enlightenment: what is it/what it is.

    I'm in agreement with this 100%. All that time wasted searching for some elusive truth when the answer was right in front of me all along. Enjoy life, love hard, be happy. Simple :)
