Choosing a monotheistic worldview to describe/explain our world, is like trying to create a masterpiece painting with just one color.
It’s like trying to compose a magnificent symphony with just one note, or trying to write a marvelous poem with just one word.
Yes, I prefer the indigenous pagan worldview over the monotheistic worldview, because the monotheistic worldview gives us a world that’s monotonous, colorless, featureless, void of beauty & spirit.
The pagan worldview gives us a very complex, intricate, greatly diverse, beautiful world. It gives us a world with many colors, where even each color has many different shades. Each god/goddess is like a different element, aspect, note, letter of an alphabet.
And I’m not saying that all of the pagan gods were just a metaphor for something. I believe it’s both. I believe that there were god-like people living on earth in physical form who were referred to as the gods, but there were other gods as well, gods that did not possess a physical form or human attributes. I think these types of gods were a metaphor for something else like an element, or force of nature, a celestial body, or even an aspect of the human psyche
The gods are just as unique as each human, or each individual snowflake. They are just as complex as a human psyche with all of the different personality traits, virtues, types, etc...
Looking at our world with it’s never ending complex systems, from the biggest things known to us in the universe, to the tiniest of particles, shows me that a monotheistic worldview is false.
