Polytheism,

I'll be honest and I hope I don't offend anyone with this statement but I find religion full stop strange. Absolutely each to their own and I respect what other people believe. But I don't understand it. I don't find polytheism any stranger than montheism. I just do not believe that any gods actually exist and I find worshipping an invisible being an odd concept. I think this is part of my autism. I'm very black and white and very logical and I need there to be some sort of evidence for what I believe. And I don't see any evidence for god's existing, if there was, surely we'd only have one religion.

How do you think you came to be without some super power creating you? how did everything come to be? 

You only need look at the complexities of the human body or the natural world and you see a logic and reason to it. It's possible you've never explored this or thought of it. Might be an idea to think on it. It really is that black and white you think of, actually very simple. A loving higher being made us all in one instant and now we are to return to Him of our own free will. Becuase He loves us He gave us free will, since what kind of love with slaves be? We can choose to deny Him or to accept Him and return to Him. 

Lack of evidence for the existence of God is one of the key sticking points for people who do not believe in a divine being or beings. Many people of faith would argue that they choose to have faith that God exists and some might say they have had personal religious experiences of some sort. 

Some people who believe in God consider worship to be divinely inspired, yet ways of worshiping God to be human manufactured and influenced by geographical area, history, culture and so on. This idea means that it doesn’t matter whether you are Jewish, Christian, Hindu or whatever. Expressions of faith in these religions are limited by our human condition yet the essence of one God is there in each religion and can be discerned through expressions of love, charity, faithfulness, truthfulness and so on. 

It is intriguing that you think your autism might be playing a part in how you consider religious worship. Now that would make for an interesting study—autistic people and religious experience (or lack of).

I guess that to me the divine isn't invisable, in the sky or any place inaccessable, to me they're everywhere, seen out of the corner of the eye and heard as a wise and often humerous inner voice, but definatley distinct from me and my thoughts. It's hard to explain, but to me the liminal and the numinous are real, almost everyday and normal, if sometimes a little strange. The Gods and Goddesses just are, to me, not accepting thier existance is like saying you don't believe in tree's or skyscrappers, to me they're definatley things I can stub my toes on and get tripped up by, I mean, only a God would come up with me falling down a rabbit hole whilst thinking about Lewis Carroll!
