How does one come to feel similar to the all-powerful being that created the world? There are many kind virtues that are required for this spiritual journey, but either of them can bring one that closer to god. By simply relating to Jesus himself, for example, one may feel like a bigger part of God, or like God is a bigger part of them. By being gracious and forgiving, one can feel the kindness within, that which god bestowed us all with. Simply put, by being what your God demands you to be, you are directly relating to him.
In polytheistic religions, there are even more ways of achieving this connection. There are religions where gods are just as flawed as we are, and it is in those flaws that one can find a connection with the subject of their worship. Vikings often used to relate to their gods, and would even name their sons and daughters by the gods that were born from those they worship most. In Satanism, committing an act of evil or violence can bring the followers to feel much closer to their deity. There are also many festivities and other celebrations that honor a specific god’s image. The simple act of taking part in them can lead to this goal.
