So, it is of no surprise to most people that the belief in a singular God (Monotheism) is the most dominant worldview with roughly 55% of the worlds population being either Christian, Muslim, or Jewish, as compared to polytheism.
With that in mind, what makes Monotheism the greater of these two views? What makes the belief in one Deity, superior to that of many deities. What advantages does this bring to the spiritual table? Any disadvantages?
It is not superior at all what religion you are ind does not matter in my mind, I am a Universalist.
However I did change from being a Pagan to a One God creator God person. But and I am interested in Judaism.
However I did not do it because its right. I was studying different God and Godesses at my old UU church. They were in the Verity system so I tried to stay with it. But I also wanted to study the Egyptian Gods and Godesses because I was interested in and also interested in Heathen Gods and Godesses because my ancestors were Heathen.
So I could not figure out how I wanted to go with it. There are so many things involved with it including the tarot card and Astrology. I'm still interested Astrology and Tarot.
Other arts crystal ball reading all sorts of stuff that goes with it. Just having all those possibilities with it, layer on layer, I spoke to my recovery sponsor about who should be my higher power. I agreed it would be less confusing and easier for me to serve one God.
Now I have also thought about serving Brahma too, who is Hindu but a one God system. But for now I worship one God but sometimes I use different names for him . So I am still very universalism my thinking but worship one God.
Some of my Christian relatives think its great I got away from the Pagans, they think God did it. Well I have not nor will I ever renounce Paganism. I think its a fine religion for those brought up in it and those who are stable while practicing it and like the Different Gods and Godesses.
Actually most people don't know this. I do practice Zen meditation which comes from a different religion Buddhism which also has a Pagan branch of Gods and Godesses. I don;t go by it but when I meditate I have a oneness with nature still so I feel very much the connection with nature,,,,,,,so somewhat still nature based I guess.
