So are we supposed to listen to Gemma Therese and become a monotheist or Ojuice5001 and become a polytheist?

I know...how about Magazine can pick his or her faith or the month any way he or she chooses, and the rest of us can listen to ourselves.

Thanks, -been looking for scientific resources that looked at the mental states one can undergo while having a religious experience.

As for theism, it doesn't matter what book of fairy tales it comes from, its all still a fairy tale. It does me no good to say there are one or 50 gods - its all basically the same package with a different wrapper.

I don't know of this OJ character here but I suspect he's a little nutz from what I'm hearing.
Everyone knows Homer's gods were actually advanced space aliens with super powers... jk

He's absolutely convinced the Romand gods exist. He also has a theory that rampant atheism today is the result of the activity of a particular pantheon of gods who control and further atheism.

For one, I admire him for his ability to take the ricochettes from both atheists and theists. And his taking the monotheists to task for being such atheists and denying the many gods that do exist...
