As I'm writing this piece I'm finding some hilarious paradoxes within language and culture.
For instance, to not spoil too much, if you look up the dictionary definition of "god" or "gods" you find statements that really don't do anything to actually define the words. These are words we all probably have our own definitions of, but they're a bit tricky. So I'll ask y'all!
What do *you* mean when you say "the gods" or "God"?

So, I've studied Genesis translations from the original Hebrew. "God" is described as both female / #NonBinary ("El Chaddai" -- the god with breasts) and also a plurality (Elohim is plural). But apparently, the "God of War" won out on the pantheon, but that's another story...
However, judging by the earliest texts, it's say it's pretty clear that God is a they/them, and doesn't have a problem with whatever gender folks embrace.

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll
Nothing is so pleasing to these gods as the butchery of unbelievers. Nothing so enrages them, even now, as to have some one deny their existence.
Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, agnostic, orator
Lecture (1872-01-29), “The Gods,” Fairbury Hall, Fairbury, IllinoisMore info about this quote: wist.info/ingersoll-robert-gre…

"#Circe’s most distinctive trait, however, is not her parentage but her persona. While many #deities and their offspring wielded brute force or commanded the elements, Circe’s authority was embedded in her mastery of #magic. She was a mistress of #transformation, capable of turning men into beasts and bending nature to her will. Unlike the gods she was descended from, Circe wasn’t born with power. No, she had to study to gain it. She had to educate herself in a world in which #women weren’t meant to expand their knowledge in such a way. She learned the properties of herbs, the secrets of the earth, and the subtle art of #potionsandspells. This marked her as a dangerous figure in #Greekmythology—a #woman who was willing to level herself up in spite of common expectations."

I was raised #Catholic. I currently identify as #agnostic #pagan. Which is say, that #gods or #deities, or whatever exist because people treat them that way. Like how we have seven-day weeks, and 24-hour days. And, if treated as #metaphor for "stuff that exists/happens that I/we don't understand," makes #religion as a concept somewhat sensical.
The best book about #Jesus and/or #Christianity I have encountered is _Jesus for the Non-Religous_ by John Shelby Spong. I'll put a Libro.fm link at the end.
Spong takes the reader through the #Jewish liturgical year, connecting the gospels and their stories to the various Jewish holy days. Because not only would a historical Jesus have been a #Jew, the disciples would also be Jews who follow Jesus. Whether Jesus was a historical person or not, the disciples are certain they had an important experience together, and that experience is Jesus-shaped.
The gospels are about this true thing that cannot be explained. It changed the lives of the disciples, and it is Important.

"What I Wish I Had Said"
https://new.exchristian.net/2024/09/what-i-wish-i-had-said.html
"When the #Mormons and #JehovahsWitnesses came to my door, this is what I wish I had said…"
Men lie. We have all #lied; most of us many, many times. In fact, #lying among #humans is so common that there are currently at least 700 different #creator #deities worshiped in the world today. TODAY!

Am I the only one who wants to combine D&D deities with the setup for such beings from classic D&D, i.e. Immortals? Considering several of the Immortals are known deities (Norse pantheon, a few others)... #TTRPG #Immortals #deities #D&D

Dear Friends of One, :ablobcatwave:
It must be time for 11’s which is duodecimal X 2 for elevenses.
As we know Atheists (the well known self programmed #absences) like to dismiss extreme lateral thinking, all #deities including the #monotheist or absent gods …
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_thinking#Fortunately some of us are made of more #flexible thought processes or more accurately their unthinkable absence.
So how does the #Non-God, or #Unknowable manifest?
Well if it can be said, it can be #contradicted. Seen, dismissed as fantasy. #Known only to be neti-neti (not this, not that)
Have a great day. Be #Kind. Do do, before DoDo time … :ablobcouple:

In ancient #Egypt, various #deities were portrayed as animals. Thoth, the god of learning and wisdom was represented by a #hamadryas #baboon. Baboons, probably held in captivity in Egypt, were mummified as votive offerings after their deaths.

Dunno who needs to hear it, but you’re definitely in a #cult if the leaders/authority figures have convinced themselves that they’re the #reincarnations of famous #monarchs, #deities, #saints, or other mega-important figures, and feel comfortable declaring who will be destroyed in the coming shift/cataclysm/whatever.

I read #today that traditional and ancient #Taoists believed that people who dreamed regular dreams were imperfect #believers. #Men who had returned themselves to their #natural states would have #dreamless sleep. Although they would have conversations with #deities or immortals. So...
Last night I had a #dream that I went through my son's #backpack and every graded piece of school work had a grade between 20-35.
You be the #judge.

Witchy friends! My mate has been super busy this past year making lots of beautiful bits and pieces for the mystically inclined. They are so creative and talented, I'm very proud of them and just wanted to share their Etsy in case anyone out there was interested in having a peak. They make things like devotional candles, runes and these really adorable decorated jars for your special little trinkets.
This isn't a sponsored ad or anything like that, they are a close friend of mine and as it's their birthday coming up in a few days and I know they usually don't plan anything for themselves, I thought I'd share as I know a little support for their work would go a long way 🥰 If you happen to get anything, let them know Ashlee sent you!
