    What you are saying here is not monotheism. Quite the contrary, it's paganism. You just managed to give us a warped description of Zeus, or many other pagan deities, for that matter. If you read ancient Greek literature, for example, you would find similar descriptions many times - in the beginning of the Odyssey, for example. The only difference is that it was usually supposed that it wasn't Zeus who created everything, but some other being, and Zeus usurped the power to judge later.

    The funniest thing is that some of them waste their whole lives doing that.

    Interesting well there are many sects or how do u call them of paganism i was really refering more to the paganism which follows polytheistic system of belief without the main god, i see how i may have been confusing u my bad.

    Sure, I meant polytheism as well, and Greeks were quite polytheistic, but in every polytheistic system some deities are more important than the other, and their relations imitate, in some way or another, the relations of people who venerate them. So very often you can find kings among deities, or at least presidents, so to speak. No anarchy. The monotheistic god, on the other hand, cannot be described in the terms of our temporal reality, therefore he is not a guy, as you said, nor anything like that.

    But if you are talking about some new, anarchistic paganism, I can only welcome it. My only objection is that your description of the monotheistic god is far from what the monotheistic theology approves.

    Thats honest, dont feel too bad though. There have been a lot of people, it's really hard to have an original thought now days.

    Granted I may have used the wrong words to express my idea my english is not perfect I needed a word and monotheism seemed to fit the bill.


    It seemed like a good idea at the time but now I am realizing I have no actual evidence to support my claim except my own imagination :D it just one of my personal truths ok am off to bed.

    peace to imagination ... the schizophrenic people i have known have their imagination stuck in repetitious loop and it gets really boring to hear it .
    the loopiness seems to comfort them . the condition may indeed be a result of war . imagination and reason fight when either claims absolute knowing .
