    Mormons: Monolatry/Henotheism Question

    Hi All, I have a question for Mormons: I've frequently heard that Mormons believe in Monolatry--the belief that there are multiple gods, but only one is to be worshipped. (I think Henotheism means essentially the same thing, but I'm not entirely certain). I also understand that in Mormon...

    Pagans/Heathens do you believe in an all powerful God above the rest?

    Howdy! Just to clarify right off the bat I am talking about you personally. There is obviously not any ideological body that would declare what pagans believe or don't believe. I was checking out a book called The Search for God in Ancient Egypt. The book is by Jan Assman and has been...

    Why are Your Theological Beliefs Correct?

    This thread is inspired by this thread that I made exactly two months ago. I realize now that thread had certain errors to it that I desire to correct with this thread. First, that thread was in Interfaith Discussion, which is fine, but looking back on that thread from the very beginning there...

    How has Hinduism survived?

    Many polytheist and pagan religions have almost disappeared : from the Greco-Roman to the Egyptians. How has Hinduism survived the occupation of India by the Mughals or the Christian missionaries? Hinduism is a fast growing religion. My take on it is that George Harrison was very influential...

    The POE From a Heathen Perspective

    Over the past week or so, Meow Mix has made a few wonderful threads illustrating the Problem of Evil (POE) and the inconsistencies (well, problems) therein. In a nutshell the Problem of Evil is as follows: "God Almighty is the highest good!" "Well then why is there a load of bad in the world?"...

    Christian Polytheism explains Strange Verses of Bible

    If something feels distasteful to extremes, then that something is certainly wrong. Hear your heart! I have no conflicts with the seven Church Councils. I am not a heretic. I speak for my Church. The highest authority in Eastern Orthodox Christianity is the first seven Church Councils. I can not...

    Reconstructionism vs. Revivalism

    How do you guys differentiate between these two approaches? I've considered myself a reconstructionist for a long while, but only more recently learned about revivalism as a separate thing. I'm still struggling with understanding exactly what the distinction is, and so far my experience with the...

    VINJEØRA, Norway – Archaeologists have found the remains of a “mortuary house” from the Viking age. Vinjeøra is in central Norway, 377.7 km (234.7 miles) northwest of Oslo. When a house-like structure functions as a coffin to indefinitely contain a corpse, people label it a “mortuary house.”...

    Within the Arena of Human Accountability: God vs. Gods

    I was speaking with my brother on a number of topics and he more or less accidentally blurted something out in a fit of thought that got me thinking. In the case of belief in multiple gods that each attend to an area of reality - for example a wind god, sun god, sea god, etc., the humans...

    Difficulties when it comes to Polytheism and me.

    I have come to discover that I rather like polytheism. Well at least certain gods from certain pantheons. The issue I personally have is actually believing in or doing anything with these gods when I can think of no rational arguments for said gods actually being a thing. It seems to me...

    Bias , monotheism, polytheism and arguments

    We all have our own personal bias whether we recognize it or not. We all have things we favor and we all have things we have personal issues with. Sometimes these bleed over into the arguments we will and won’t consider and why we agree with one side or another. I notice in myself a bias...

    Pagans: Are the stories of pagan gods literal truths or allegories ?

    This is a question more for pagans than anyone else. Are the stories of the gods literal truths? Did they happen exactly as described or are they representations of something else? How do you view the pagan gods ? What are they really?

    Polytheists and Pagans: What lead you to your spiritual path or pantheon?

    As my own interest in Paganism/polytheism has been kindled I figured I would ask you all what lead you to your current spiritual path? Did the stories of your gods resonate with you? Did one path or another simply "click" with you the more you learned about it? I would love to hear your...

    Let us say I was interested in becoming a pagan. How important is the pantheon one such as myself would choose? What kind of resources could I get to learn more about paganism? Could I use my own ideas of gods or do I need to rely on an older model? Any information would be appreciated. Also...
