They be fucking crazy, to boot, bruh.

Seriously, I'd shitloads of time back in my work travel days, and my reading materials of choice was comparative religions. There probably isn't a religion or cult out there that I don't know more than the basics about.

There is good reason why these polytheistic faiths were slaughtered mercilessly by the monotheistic faiths. It wasn't just the differences in faith and beliefs. These polytheistic faiths were nasty as hell to outsiders and "lower" members of society.

Even today, India is held back more by it's fucked up caste system and various cults than it's shitty government policies.

It is the creations and imagination of fallen beings who refuse to the revelations and Sovereignty of their Creator, God. Being a gracious Creator and allowing one to choose and not be “dropped dead” on the spot is enough for me to believe in Love.

Whether it be those above, as well as the religious atheists and astrology zealots, all other forms of man-made gods are false. One really has to go out of their way to dent the obvious in Macro and Micro Intelligent Design.

My friend says these religions are polytheistic in spirit but not in morality or universal conscience.

They're all false, what they preach isn't actually true.

I'll be completely honest, when I traveled to Taiwan it made me question the logic of monotheism. But then some Dominican Republican guy on THIS website (@Hispanic-Cool-Guy) explained that those so-called "gods" they worship exist, but they aren't actually gods, but demons. When I was that I was like, "OMG, that makes complete sense." That's why they have to make offerings to them so they don't piss them off.

I honestly know NOTHING about Shintoism and Shamanism, so I don't have an opinion on those.

Spiritual Satanism, yeah no way!

Voodooism is interesting from a cultural perspective, but they're basically a bunch of scam artists. They give people psychoactive or toxic plants and claim it is magic. Real magic doesn't exist. They can create "potions" out of natural plants to either harm or heal, but they can't make potions to make someone fall in love with you or get you a job.

Paganism is cool, but very misunderstood. I don't know if I necessarily believe that trees have spirits or that they can communicate with mythical creatures that roaming in the forest, but I love the sexualized aspect of it and how they connect with nature.

Hinduism is the one I'm most familiar and interested it, but I'm kind of starting to look at it differently now, after the Dominican Republican guy told me their gods are actually demons. Some of their customs are quite strange to be honest, but there are also many that I like. I think Hinduism is more than just a religion, it's a way of life. But I think it's stupid that they waste food for temple offerings, when people in their country are starving.

Seeing as I’m a norse pagan I feel y religion and other pagan religions push us to be better in our Time alive to respect nature and the cycle of life treating life Mor preciously but not fearing death as it is natural, but to make it memorable is the true goal. If you make your mark on history you never truly die.

Equally as silly as mainstream religion but much less uptight.

[LiamJHayden]

My mind can only conceive of a single infinite being, so I cannot believe any polytheistic religion.

Baseless. Just look at Hindu scriptures and you'll know. They're full of verses and chapters glorifying rapes, incest etc
