In this episode, I talk about the role of gods and goddesses in our religion, and why they are not to be confused with one another. I also talk about why it's important to have a solid foundation and solid reason to believe in a god or goddess.

00:00:00.000 That's the thing with the best of intentions. Sometimes there are divinities that that are confused because they're coming from different sources and they're named different things when they're really a singular divinity.
00:00:17.880 Of course that happens in the body of our literature at some point.
00:00:23.500 But there's a far cry from picking those that we have solid foundation and solid reason to believe are the same and trying to mash lots of them together because it just makes it easier.
00:00:38.380 At the end of the day, if these are just archetypes and this is all just kind of a symbolic, our rituals are a symbolic game that we play mentally to focus on different archetypes, then it doesn't matter.

00:00:58.620 But they're not. They are literal gods and literal goddesses.

And so we endeavor to do that with a mind towards individual personality as best as we can.
