text: has mankind invented all deities?   would my creator be my father, my mother, or both of them?  i don't believe that mankind has invented all deities. i am polytheistic and believe that pretty much any deity could exist, but that none of them have claim to the one true way (some of them might want to convince their followers of that to get some exclusive worship, though). no one can prove that any deities were or were not invented, however, no matter how much they may believe one way or the other. i personally see evidence of higher powers, but multiple deities makes more sense to me than one due to the diversity found in all other aspects of the universe and the fact that (if deities exist at all) there is no logical evidence to show why one is real and another is not. plus, believing in one true god makes so many people so damn arrogant, and i'm not interested in that.
