Which is why the suggestion surrounding Autotheism with a dash of Solipsism.
Is it necessary to believe in something outside yourself? Something unseen that is identified in its deific characteristics by other people who claim it spoke to them?
When you know that at the root of your life (your being impersonal as is "you), you work to create those things you want in your life. And of course you have help. But it all starts with you. And proceeds with your conscious awareness, or delusion as some would say, as pertains to the transient illusion that is the seeming solid reality of this life.
Often people give respect and honor to other peoples gods. While committing to self-deprecation as a means of supplication. Believing this will garner them reward and identification as one blessed.
If there is a god would it need us to give it praise so that it feels worthy of the name? To feel secure in itself? Often, that is what religions tell us.
Meanwhile, if we don't respect ourselves and our potential on all levels, what good are we to bow before something we think wants us there to give it high praise? Would it want an underling, a self-conscious insecure groveling creature to give it worship? So that it could feel good about itself causing that posture in that what its created?
Or would a true higher power realize since it created everything, including us, that when we honor and respect our power and potential that we're honoring the power and potential in our source.
Did you know satanists, who are atheistic hedonists for the most part, use a woman's body as the altar in their rituals? Because the human body is the platform from which all reality in the name of humanity begins. And woman, who is the only one in our species who gives birth, is the channel to arrive empowered here.
Love You! It's not a slogan.
