Here’s my conclusion about religion.
Monotheism and Polytheism are the only two religions – that’s that. All labels ascribing to either ideology have in fact completely misunderstood or ignore the criteria. All religious labels claiming Monostheism continue to some form of worship towards secondary authorities and stone temples – essential pagan-like customs. Others go as far as worshiping Hierachies consequently resulting in perpetual sectarianism. Therefore! suffice to assert the following.
All labels ascribed to both monotheism render void because
Religious authorities are in essence mouthpieces of God – one God – however disagreement between religious labels involves the one-God not being the same God. Sounds Polystheistic to me. The Trinity is polytheistic doctrine and in no way Monostheistic.
As for Polystheists who don’t recognise the other Gods and Goddesses of other Polystheists, let alone the one-and-only Monotheistic God, displays grand disunity amongst a divine pantheon. This concept suggests we chose who are or not Gods – kinda like the follower sets the criteria.
It it remains clear that mankind will never find peace or unity as long as labels like these divide us.
