As a polytheist, I would have to ask you from which one do you derive your personal individual rights?
Who knows ? I don't really care about it, as long as none is totally dictating my life and torturing me! My belief in polytheism is that there could be THE ONE out there, but I don't know who's who. Maybe he/she ignores us and let us tangling with each other with wars and conflicts. And there could be so-called gods or goddesses out there governing people and their lives. But I would really called them mini-gods or mini-goddesses ... or simply say "middle-men" or "middle-women" .... whom people have been worshipping. The problem I see is some people don't recognize other gods and goddesses with their monotheist viewpoint ...and sometimes self-centered as if the most powerful THE ONE is watching him/her or his/her country alone. In other words, people could possibly bypass those middle-men or middle-women to access the most powerful God and plead him for giving them more power. And what disguises me is the fact that some people claim themselves as lively gods or goddesses as a way to lure others into believing in them. When they come and tell you: "I'm a god and you are not." How would you feel ? Lots of cults out there have been scams or marketing entities that basically want to recruit vulnerable or insecure individuals and tell them to give up their properties and collect vast amount of money for their scam operations. Some of them sometimes have their own political agenda as the one called ELF in US, which is a radical environmental group that goes out and burns properties owned by capitalists which they think are damaging the environment. Who knows who is the leader and orders a holy creed to damage others' properties ?? As for China, it is not only a red hot market for business opportunity because it has billions of people, but also it is the place for various cults to compete with each other for recruitment and order billions of the people into action for possibly mass destruction. Moneywise, how much money could those lively gods possibly make ? How do they make a living ? And the worst, how many have idolized Hitler and viewed him as a god figure ? And what was the result ? See my point ???
