There seems to be much debate on here where faith in a Diety originates from. Where would you say your faith originates from?
Your upbringing, (meaning parental influence), or have you taken your own spiritual journey to discover your faith. Please explain your answer.

This question is directed to any and all religions who believe in a God(s)/Goddess(es). But please, keep your responses respectful towards others.

Thanks a bunch in advance for your thoughts!

First off, wasn’t that Moon deity a Goddess??? Was the Angel Gabriel moonlighting (good pun, huh?) when he spoke to Mohammad?

I use the word God to mean both God and Goddess. How about you?

I practice a Path I call Shamanic Wicca and have spoken with many different Dieties. Most often, however, I have called on Yemaya and Brigit, the Triple Goddess. (By the way, Triple Goddes is the orginal source of the Trinity. Like most things, xtians have coopted and changed it into one of their things.)

this video is featuring the Greek and Roman: Nyx, Nemesis, Aphrodite/Venus, Hestia/Vesta, Artemis/Diana, Demeter, Hecate, Nike, Eris/Discordia, Sophia The Hindu: Parvati, Lakshmi, Kali The Egyptian: Tawaret, Isis, Bast The Canaanite-Hebrew: Astarte The Russian: Kynana The Welsh: Cerridwen The Norse: Freyja by the way i accidentally put in bastet i meant bast as for hecate there are two stories about her one saying she is the daughter of the night and another saying she is the daughter of perse umm starry one etc. i chose the daughter of the night version you can also find me at www.myspace.com

The closest present day religion, which has a Trinity, as its core belief is Hinduism. In the Hindu philosophy Lord Brahma is the Supreme God of Creation, Lord Vishnu is the Sustainer God and Lord Shiva is a God of Destruction. Hindus, who worship multiple deities, justify their dogma as monotheistic belief on the ground that each deity stresses one or more aspects of The One Supreme God, called Brahma. There are hundreds of gods and goddesses in various Hindu temples throughout India. But each has its own specific power and place in worship, depending upon a particular aspect or aspects of the Supreme God that he or she stresses or represents. This is very similar to the Trinity in Christianity; however, most Christians who view the Hindu religion will condemn it as Polytheistic.
The question for Christians is why then do they not view their own religion as Polytheistic if they think the Hindu Religion is polytheistic?
