I am a theist, ask me anything [Spirituality & Religion]

Please at least try to keep it about theism though. I will prioritize those questions but will try to answer other questions as well.

I believe in the existence of many gods though am not really committed to belief in any of them at the moment.

@TheMorningsStar Right, I mean what sort of pantheon do you believe in?
TheMorningsStar · 26-30, M
I believe that multiple pantheons exist. The Greek, Roman, Canaanite, etc. No single religion in history had it entirely right, but many had seen parts of what was there and mistook it for the whole.

I actually respect the Ancient Greeks in this regard as they held belief that there existed gods they didn't know about yet.

@TheMorningsStar So, you're kind of an omnitheist then?

Not entirely, otherwise I would think Scientology was onto something (and no, they are idiots) or any number of weird beliefs that originated. It is why I use the term "theist" as a description instead of any other term, I haven't yet seen a term that properly matches what I believe.
