Divinity's face is mysterious to mortals, who only have access through symbols. Symbols, of course, are always multiple whether the system is monotheistic, polytheistic, or even atheistic. I subscribe to the etymological connection of the words "god" and "good", and thus "God" or "The Gods" represent the Penultimate of Good. They are Homemakers who tend on the Belonging of the World, and ensure that the eternal cycles of life have an opportunity to continue dreaming. |
