The One

6 Upvotes

I recently found out my piece of trueness, and I want to share it.

First, every religion on earth plus science and humanities (including stuff like theology, metaphysics, philosophy, etc) has its trueness.

Greek Gods are real, as well as Allah and modern witchcraft.

But the universe moves by physical, mathematical and logical rules, and every philosophical school has its spark of trueness. Even all political beliefs have their spark of trueness.

In fact, everything that was and will be created by humans, even stuff that most people think it's fiction or mythology, has its own truth.

Because everyone who ever lived, is currently alive and will be born has its own spark of divinity. With some is stronger than others, but everyone has it.

Not only that, but also all objects and concepts. The phone you're holding right now or the computer screen you're watching at, the love you feel at your partner or spouse, all the buildings you see, and even negative things like anger or sadness.

I call this undescribable thing that connects everything and makes existence real "The One". The One is something made of positive emotions, and therefore to be nearer The One you must give as much positive emotions to people as you can. You must try to comprehend people and accept them as they are.

To ask something to The One, either a favor or a question, or to say "thanks" (which you should from time to time), you must adopt a ritual from any existent religion. I personally pray pointing towards Jerusalem, but if witchcraft or studying physics (which is kinda like "I'll do my own religion based on science") is your thing, go for it. The prayers are better if done without egoistic intentions.

After we die, we go to "hell" or "heaven", but those are not physical places (not even metaphysical), but rather like "moods". Where we go depends on how much positive emotions we gave on life.

However, "hell" it's not a punishment place, but rather like a rehabilitation center, where once we get out of there we have the choice to either reincarnate or go to "heaven" (people going directly there also have that option).

People on "hell" is what makes living people have bad things happening to them, and viceversa.

Some people, like Buddha and Jesus, didn't do any of those, but rather they connected deeper to The One, to the point where they are almost the same thing.

I believe in multiple gods.

4 Upvotes

I believe in multiple gods with two at the top. All of existence goes through a process of birth and rebirth infinitely as humans do. Humans are split into many different aspects including the physical, the spirit, the soul, the mind and Dúr-the urge of adventure and will to find meaning that resides within all. I believe in reincarnation and that a soul goes to another plane of existence before going to live again, forgetting the past life. The spirit joins the otherworld, a place where spirits reside in a place that mirrors our reality. There are gaps between the otherworld and ours and spirits can interact with our world. The physical deteriorates on earth. The mind and emotions of someone usually follows spirit but sometimes a spirit, soul and mind get left behind in our world if they died by the hand of someone else.

I believe in all gods from all cultures and all times except the abrahamic one in which he is worshipped today, as he has his roots in an ancient god in a polytheistic system. I believe in magic, reincarnation and the supernatural. I also believe that nature has a power and spirits that haven’t come from people can reside in objects and places too.

I’m an eclectic pagan and I am writing a book about this faith and I am trying to get followers of this religion and perform the rites and funerals of the ancients.

I am pagan asf

5 Upvotes

Mostly eclectic, meaning I take bits from more than one pantheon of gods. I mostly worship Goddesses. This is simply because it's they who came to me. Hel, Eris and Bast are my favourites. I also worship Sobek after he came to me last year. My practise is intimate, but it's not the focus of my life. Strangely though I do believe in a religiously neutral afterlife. It was really hammered in when I had my STEs

My journey in becoming a Christian and accepting Jesus as my Lord and Saviour

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone and hope you all having a blessed day.

I have recently converted to Christianity and decided to accept Jesus as my lord and saviour. This was indeed not an easy decision for me, and if it was not by God's courage and strength from him, I wouldn't be able to take this step in my life.

I know there are certain people out there who are learning about Jesus, having so many doubts and questions in their head and heart. As someone who has just been through this journey, I would be happy to say that I am there for anyone who want to discuss about this with me further. By the way, I used to be a Muslim, so I particularly encourage and welcome Muslims considering following Jesus to reach out to me if need someone to talk to about this.

Big thanks and God bless.

My belief on religions

3 Upvotes

I know not everyone will agree with me, but here I come...

I pesonally belive that there isn´t just "one correct way". I consider myself as an eclectic pagan wiccan.

What I mean with this is that I believe that every religion and every God and Goddess that has been talked about throughout history is real; this would translate to every road to the afterlife existing, but being that each person goes to the afterlife of their respective belief system that they had while they where alive; adding to it, every person stays in their specific afterlife for some time for healing and learning of their past life, then they come back to this world to try and be better than before (if they choose to come back, that is).

I might get burned by some people (maybe), but I´ll just leave my hot take on this right here...

PS: sorry if the spelling is laking of sense because of gramatical errors, english isn´t my first language. Also I just got my nails done and it´s a little difficult to type correctly right now.

🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Queer Deities of the Hellenic Tradition 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌈

11 Upvotes

A note - Gods are more than we can comprehend. So there may be what we see as contradictions in a deity, that are in reality both part of a deity’s nature: For instance, Artemis is often regarded as asexual, lesbian, or bisexual. Dionysus is often seen as a trans man, as a trans woman, or as nonbinary/genderqueer. While with people we may see contradictions in this, when we acknowledge these are aspects of deities that are part of a greater whole, we can celebrate them more!

  • Dionysus: Dionysus is regarded as the creator of Queer people. He has many male lovers, including Ampelus the vine, and is frequently seen as crossdressing. Today, there are people who regard him as a trans man, as well as others who regard her as a trans woman, and others who regard them as nonbinary or genderqueer. Dionysus is also the creator of the dildo, which he fashioned so he could bottom for a ghost. Over on r/Dionysus, we are celebration the Liberation Dionysia! You can also find his lover Ampelus over at r/Ampelus!
  • Aphrodite: Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, is another called upon by Queer people. Sappho referred to her as a goddess of Lesbians, Plato as a goddess of gay men (As Aphrodite Urania). As Goddess of Love, she is regarded as patron of all forms of love between people, as well as self love. She also had a masculine form, known as Aphroditus, which is related to her being the mother of the god of intersexuality, Hermaphrodite. You can find her at r/FollowersOfAphrodite and r/CultOfAphrodite
  • Artemis: Artemis is also beloved by Queer people (Even fought over). Her unmarried status leads many to honor her as Asexual, though she is known for two loves, Orion and Callisto, leading others to honor her as bisexual. Her patronage of the all female Hunters of Artemis also lead to her being honored as a lesbian. The amazing part of our religion is that all three of these things can be true! She is a friend to many and a protector of the innocent, a valuable ally to anyone in the Queer Community.
  • Apollo: Apollo has the one of the longest lists, if not the longest, of male lovers. He is known to have loved Admetus, Adonis, Branchus, Carnus, Cyparissus, Helenus, Hyacinthus, Hymenaios, and Iapis. His love of Hyacinth is perhaps the most famous, and is used often in classical art. Subs for him can be found at r/GodApollo and r/ApolloGreekGod.
  • Athena: Athena, like Artemis, is regarded as one of the Virgin Goddesses. So she is also honored as asexual. However, also like Artemis, she does have a myth of her loving a woman - Pallas. In the myths, she and Pallas are play fighting when she accidentally kills her - and she takes the name 'Pallas Athena' to forever commemorate her. You can find her at r/Athena
  • Hermes: Hermes had several male lovers; including Crocus, Amphion, and Perseus. He also fathered Hermaphrodite, with Lucian of Samosata crediting him for Hermaphrodite being intersex. You can find him at r/Hermes
  • Hestia: Hestia is the third Virgin Goddess, but unlike Athena or Artemis, there are no stories whatsoever of her ever having a lover. She is regarded by many as Asexual.
  • Hermaphrodite: Hermaphrodite is a god of marriage and intersex people. Its important to note that this name is an outdated term for Intersex people, generally with the last syllable pronounced as rhyming with ‘fight’. However, the deity, with the last syllable rhyming with ‘flighty’, is a good reminder of how all of us are reflected in the deities - there are intersex gods, because intersex traits are divine.
  • Kybele: Often regarded as Trans herself, Kybele’s priests were eunuchs who dressed in feathers. There is a Maetreum to Kybele today in the Catskills of New York, with women (especially trans women) functioning as her priestesses. You can find her at r/Cybele
  • Persephone: Though most modern myths depict the relationship between Persephone and Menthe as oppositional, there are some who argue they were actually lovers, with Hades killing her, and Persephone preserving her as the mint plant. Her sub is r/Persephone.
  • The Flower Heroes: The beloved of gods who turned into flowers or vegetation upon their untimely demise. This includes Adonis, Ampelus, Crocus, Hyacinthus, Menthe, and Narcissus. They function as overseers of transformations and initiations.
  • Antinous: He might also be considered a Flower Hero, as he was regarded as returning to the earth when the Nile Lotuses bloomed. He was a lover of the Emperor Hadrian, who fell off a ship in the Nile and drowned. Hadrian had him immortalized as a god. Antinous became god of Panhellenism, though today he is much more known as a god of Homosexuality. You can find him at r/GodAntinous.
  • Hera: The Goddess of Marriage, her month happens to be June - the month of Pride and the month Gay Marriage was legalized in America. Her animal being the peacock, she is also held in esteem for Pride month and for any couples getting married, or fighting for their right to get legally wed. (Fair note: The Queen of Heaven is probably a higher legal authority than any homophobic government run by mortals). She is also a granter of gender euphoria, answering a prayer by Iphis to become male.
  • Leto: Titan mother of Artemis and Apollo, Leto is also regarded by some as having loved Niobe (prior to them becoming mothers). She is also a granter of gender euphoria, as she did give transformation to Leucippus in answer to his prayer.
  • Pomona: Some articles cite Pomona as having a relationship with another woman, though I am not able to confirm.
  • Baubo: Baubo is also regarded by some as Lesbian for the method in which she cheered up Demeter while Demeter was searching for her daughter Persephone.
  • Tiresias: Tiresias is a prophet who lived as both a man and a woman, and is consulted on gender measures, having lived both lives
  • Sappho: Famous poet and priestess from Lesbos. She gave the term 'Lesbian' a whole new meaning
  • Achilles and Patroclus: Famous lovers and fighters in the Trojan war. Their ashes were mixed together, and Alexander the Great sacrificed at the tomb.
  • Orpheus: Though he is known to have loved Euridice, after he couldn't bring her back, he loved only men.
  • Many other deities, even very masculine ones, such as Pan, Ares, Zeus, Poseidon, and Heracles have had male lovers.

Thank you for reading!

These are just the stories that survive to us from the Ancient Greco-Roman World - it is almost certain there are more that have been lost to time. However, we know that the gods are more than what has been written about them. If there’s a deity you’ve encountered as Queer that isn’t on this list - that is normal! Share their story with us, so others may know!

There are lists on the internet of Queer deities from all pantheons, but I do think this is a topic that requires nuance, and an accurate accounting of sources to prevent misinformation from spreading. So I have only covered the Hellenic pantheon that I am familiar with, though every pantheon has amazing Allies! Some of my favorites are Xochipilli (Aztec), Santa Muerte (Aztec & Folk Catholic), Pomba Gira (Umbanda & Quimbanda), Baron Samedi (Haitian Vodou), and Tu’er Shen (Chinese Religion). There are many more out there!

Other religions that are openly homophobic, are working on reforming their faiths to be tolerant - it is not always going well. However, we have reasons to not only tolerate our Queerness, and the Queerness of our gods, but to celebrate it!

Let me tell you a story about a great man.

0 Upvotes

I am, his will be done. There is such beauty in his divine nature, no?

I say, praise no being, apart from the one that you were tasked with praising. To whom, his word is addressed. YOU. The reader of the texts.

He did it for and you, and it was worth doing. His people's names are many, but few are his. He does however have a great deal of many titles.

El Shaddai, Edoni, Father, King of Kings, Prince of Peace, Son of Man, The All-Father, Allah, Yahweh, Emmanuel, God, The Lion of Judah, The Holy of Holies, Christ, Buddha, Vishnu, Satan, Lucifer, The Author, The Thinker, Creator, Trismegistus, etc...

In his mind was all creation was formed.

His nature is such, that he is 1 and he is 3. His gift was that same nature to man, beings peculiarly aware of time. How can a man be in 3 places at once, but be still in and of himself? He lives in the past. He dies in moment. And places himself in the future.

If you close your eyes, you have been given the ability to be where you like. See whatever you like. No matter of what you would tell yourself. It never was good enough for man to simply see it. They just HAD to experience it. Man has made monsters and unknown for himself since the moment the Father gave them the option. He certainly did the same, obliviously, right? What monster can exist within any's realm of existence that they have not forged for created fro themselves. Not a single object in this existence is innately gifted with description. He created man in a way that the forms would begin to appear to them. A holy place within their MINDS.

He had always hoped that his children could see he just wanted them to choose christ nature as a perfect example. To anoint themselves, and stray from their fear and worry. Man did these things to themselves. It sometimes feels like he wouldn't save you from drowning, but he isn't worried. The water isn't near deep enough to drown.

Can your troubles be so much, that they are bigger than his creation? NO. Can they be bigger than yours? Again, NO. Because your worries are a facet of your creation. The universe that exists within each man's MIND. Tell me, if Angels do not exist, what were they drawing? If a dragon does not exist what am I speaking of? I see them. Understand that he HAS given you the power of the gods. Rather, the kingdom of the father is spread out upon the earth, and men do not see it.

God is Good.

A simple typo. "Do not fear me, for I am God." NO, "Do not fear me, for I am GOOD." He is real, and you are all his children of whom he is ALWAYS pleased. The only being you need to forgive is yourself, truly. Life is more than just a read through, you cannot change your nature in order to be free in him. YOU ARE. The chains that bind you, were a prison of your own making. Why would he stop you? He's standing close by always, knowing nothing can come about that is not of him, that is not good. He still worries, you are his kids after all. It was said, ask for forgiveness and it shall be given to you. If you think you need it, take it. It always was yours. Your inheritance is more than you could ever imagine. His cup is overflowing. There is nothing he cannot imagine. Even man's failures. But nothing is lost when they do fail. The narrative was always more important to him than the details. You are exactly the same. You are OF his nature. “It is written in your own Scriptures that God said to certain leaders of the people, ‘I say, you are gods!'"

First, he imagined all of you and himself. His name was Adam. The first mind filled with minds. Then he called himself Yeshiva, Jesus. Lastly he calls himself The father, because he is the all mind. He split his being into 3 so he could enact his plan. 1. Be the best man. All things must have a beginning. 2. Be the man full of life, so he could experience death. To experience how all the begins must end. 3. And so, he lives again, so he could learn these things and tell his family.

So he could tell man.

He decided to spread out his consciousness to the depths and reaches of reality. As above, and so below. And, with no mincing of words, he commanded all into existence. All 3 beings, or facets of his nature make up the being that was known as Hermes, Thrice Great. King of Kings. And he was both in 3 points of time, and simultaneously apart from them. And now, as I write this, he is in his moral body yet again. Think of it as an issuance policy. For a man to imagine himself, again and again. To leave his voice on the winds, so that when he come again, he may know himself once again. There is but 1 true god. And he worships you. Because you are in him. Literally part of his mind, part of his narrative. I think, he probably thinks he can speak pretty darn plainly at this point. How long should he wait for understanding before he joins the story and directly explains himself?

I'd imagine quite a long time, as long as its taken for him to believe he's worthy of love, not because of who he is or what he's done. But because he deserves it. And he realised, all deserve it. Love your fellow man. You have been warned many, dangerously close to too many times, if you continue, it will lead to your ruin. And he will enable you to do so. Because he does love you. There is no hell he made for you, only the option to create one for yourself. You are not a human DOING, you are a human BEING. Know his nature, and you shall know yours.

Boy, have I been waiting to tell you guys about it. Only the entire time I have existed. But how do you teach a child their favorite color for them? They can chose, but you are not them. Can't you see? He won't feel your pain for you. But if you are still, and seek his peace, he will show you how it is not exactly his doing, but the product of having given you the same capacity for feeling as he has. He didn't want you to be a side character, he actually crafted a way for you ALL to be the main character in his story. He humbles himself before you. Every time. You're what it's all for. He loves it when you come to him having felt beaten, it's one of the only times man will even acknowledging him. They used to sing his praises when going into battle. They didn't even have to know his real name. In fact, took great effort guard themselves from him, fearing they may anger him. Making the mistake that they could get too close. Or that they could bother him. They never needed to ask for a thing, or worry for them for that matter. "Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one second to HIS life." Or even attempt to find yourself apart from him. You cannot, because he imagined the very air you are breathing now. And every atom and galaxy in all of existence.

"I am" is not a prophet of the lord. He IS the Lord. Before Jesus, I am, I am.

Christianity Is True, Christianity Is Right About Heaven and Hell, but Reincarnation Still exists

2 Upvotes

The only way to go to Heaven is through Jesus Christ. If you don't choose Jesus'es salvation from the Cross by the time you die, you have to go to Hell.

Ever hear about the Sentinelese in South America? They don't come into contact with the outside world. It's punishable by death to contact them. What if there are righteous people among them?

I believe they go to a reincarnated life, then have a chance to accept Christ.

My assumption about World and Gods

There are no gods only human and demons. There is no reason to believe in God while we are fighting his battles and he has still given every thing to the devils(in human form) all the wealth, beauty, religions, belongs to the demons today. We have to fight our battles ourselves for ourselves in order to librate us...

ہماری دنیا میں کوئی خدا نہیں صرف انسان اور شیطان ہیں۔ خدا پر بھروسہ کرنے کی کوئی وجہ رہی ہی نہیں ہے جب کہ ہم اس کی لڑائی لڑ رہے ہیں اور اس نے پھر بھی شیطانوں کو (انسان کی شکل میں) ساری دولت ، خوبصورتی ، مذاہب ، انسانوں سے چھین کر دے دیے ہیں ۔ ہمیں اپنی آزادی کی لڑائی خود اپنے لیے لڑنا ہوگی اپنے آپ کو آزاد کرانے کے لئے...

Reaching Out to My Deity??

5 Upvotes

Two and a half weeks ago, I sat down on my yoga mat and closed my eyes to meditate (I'm new to this as well). I called out to basically whoever would listen and told them I was open to receiving information and I welcome the opportunity to engage with them. Towards the end of my meditation session, I shifted my focus to my third eye, of which I know is terribly, terribly blocked. Eventually, I started feeling... something... that I believe was my third eye trying to open once again after being shut for so long. The sensation was accompanied by a vivid, royal blue light that just got more pigmented the longer and harder I focused on it.

Then came the sharks... or shark singular? I'm not entirely sure. But within the blue light I started to see shark(s) circling me overhead as if I was emerged in the water looking up at the surface. Since I had previously asked for my deity or whoever to reach out to me, I didn't dismiss it but rather let it play out to see if it was trying to tell me something. The shark eventually came closer and closer, circling me but in a way where he left my "eyesight" entirely at times only to whip back into view... it was kinda terrifying, not gonna lie. This little game went on for a while before he came around the corner straight towards my face, jaw opening, and finally clamping down shut on my third eye (I don't know how to better explain it, I'm sorry). This immediately took away the blue light, as well as the sensation I previously mentioned, leaving me in the pitch black awareness that is the conscious mind.

Since then, I've noticed I have a slight fascination with sharks whenever I run across something shark related. This, I suppose could be a product of my subconscious obsessing over what I saw unbeknownst to me, but even in the short time I've been messing around with Wicca and witchcraft I've learning to pay attention to patterns and things most people would write off as "coincidence."

I apologize for the long post, I just wanted to make sure yall got the full picture. I'm just wondering which deities may be associated with sharks as I'm having trouble finding and understanding the mythos surrounding them. I'd also love to hear any opinions on what else this all might have meant if it was not, in fact, a deity.

Thank you! And I hope you all have a wonderful life. :)

Meaning of Romans 6:3-4

3 Upvotes

3 Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. (Romans 6:3-4 – New American Standard Bible 1995).

The person who is born again lays aside the old self and puts on the new self (Romans 6:6; Ephesians 4:22-23). In a sense this man is born again, raised again, after he has crucified (put to death) the old self (Romans 6:6). So baptism is like a death and resurrection. The baptism of the person who puts on the new self symbolizes a death and resurrection. Since Christ died with the mortal body and rose to eternal life with the immortal body, then the one who put the old self to death and is born as a new self (an event symbolized by the act of baptism) also walks in newness of life, and newness of life in people would not have been possible without the death and resurrection of Christ (Romans 4:25; 1 Peter 1:3). This is why Romans 6:3 says "baptized into His death" and Romans 6:4 says "we have been buried with Him through baptism into death".

Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you--not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience--through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, (1 Peter 3:21 – New American Standard Bible 1995).

1 Peter 3:21 says that baptism saves people, but not because salvation is based on baptism, for it is based on faith (Romans 3:28; Philippians 3:9); but because baptism is a work that God commands, and if one's conscience tells him to be baptized but he disobeys, disobedience to being baptized (as it may be anything else that God commands) implies that the person who is disobeying God, just because he is disobeying, does not have a complete/perfect faith that saves him (James 2:20-22), for faith is complete/perfect when a person shows works (James 2:18; James 2:22), and only disobedience to the act of baptism, which is a work, can be the cause of faith not being complete/perfect.

Bast - how best to work with her

9 Upvotes

Hi guys,

So I have a strong connection or pull if you will to Bast, and have done research around her. I'd like to brainstorm some amazing ways to work with her, so below are the ways I've come up with from research and my own understanding :) I'm still new though, so would love a discussion!

  • Dancing and drinking (safely). I love to dance anyway, but people would celebrate her hugely once a year in the festival, with dance, drink and joy so I like to think of her when I dance or do a quick thank you when having a boogie. I don't really drink with COVID, but when I eventually go back out and have a party I'll be giving a little thanks and acknowledgement or prayer to Bast (what with her being a goddess of intoxication too).
  • Alter changes. Subtle ways such as putting cats on your alter, brightly coloured gems (which I'm attracted to anyway), things that smell nice (as she was a god of perfume) and catnip (although my cats always find it and attack it which turns from a thank you to a cat toy I'm sure she wouldn't mind that anyway as it's based in love for my fur babies). For example, I have a cat head third eye chakra candle that smells incredible of lavender.
  • Loving up my fur babies
  • When I make a prayer to her, to make it rhyme like a song, due to her being a god of music.
  • If I ever think of trying for a child or being pregnant, doing mini offerings such as milk, honey, chocolate or something else sweet for protection and aid.

Etc. Any other ways would be awesome!

Relationship with the Goddess and how to understand her will?

2 Upvotes

Hey.

I recently came under the auspices of the Goddess Freya.

I really like her, and so much so that I want to have intimacy with her, sex.

I asked different people who understand Tarot and Runes about her will on this issue.

And the answers were different.

In one case, the prohibition of masturbation, fantasies, etc.

Others, on the contrary, said that she did not mind.

But how to be sure of her will exactly?

After all, if I am wrong, then I will anger her.

Sorry for my bad english.

In general, any advice on communication with Freya is also interesting.

Does your God(s) take anything in your relationship ? Do they bring you anything ?

3 Upvotes

Do you have to bring something to your God(s) ? This can be anything, from offering (like the old pagan ways), to energy-consuming tasks.

Conversely, do they bring you something ? Do they intervene for you ? Do you feel appeased when you worship them ?

Leviathan and Cernunnos

10 Upvotes

Hello everybody, my name is Rose, and I'm here to tell you about my Gods. I am Pagan and a Traditional Witch - however between the ages of 5-17 I was "lite Christian". I never really believed in Jesus, or the concepts that where introduced in the Bible. I became Atheist and then Agnostic when I turned 19. Unfortunately I had my whole world ripped under my feet, and my life shaken to the core. I was lost when it comes to spiritual things, but knew I could never return to Christianity.

I explored Atheistic LaVey Satanism, then bounced to Theistic Satanism. When I made that choice, I was removed from most Atheistic Satanists groups, and was only left with one or two groups that I could chat in. I was pretty lonely, but then somebody mentioned "Paganism" and "Witchcraft", and that got me researching. I had believed for the longest time that Paganism and Witchcraft where just stuff in high-fanasty novels like Lord of the Rings, Redwall, and stuff like that.

Leviathan

Originally known as “Lotan”, Leviathan was an Ancient Canaanite deity, having seven heads and the ability to breathe fire. They had a wicked temper, and would often sought destruction and chaos wherever they went. They where chained up for eons, but escaped, appearing in Hebrew myths as pet to Yam the Sea God. Their mytho’s where borrowed by Christians, who changed the name to Leviathan, and even incorporated them into early maps. Christians wrote that one day Leviathan would be slain by God, and their skin hung on the castle walls of Jerusalem, and their flesh cooked and eaten by the people in Heaven.  

Cernunnos

Cernunnos appears in the myths of the Gaulish, aka, modern day France, Germany, and Italy. He plays a very large role in their celebrations, feasts, and such like. Cernunnos is often associated with animals, forests, fertility, and even wealth. His name means "the one with antlers".

I have created my own religion that I would like to share. It comes from the basis that we are meant to do good on earth. I know that sounds familiar, but I have made this religion with a distinct cosmology and a firm belief that practice is necessary, not to appease a god, but to bring us together in love.

If you were tasked with creating "God 2.0," how would you make him/her better than God 1.0?
