 Terence McKenna Quote about Deity "This is the basis of magic."

Every single divine being ever mentioned by mankind can be considered a deity. What they all have in common are the unreal virtues that they encompass. Depending on the religion worshiping a deity, they can have different strengths and weaknesses, while in most monotheistic religions, the deity has no flaws. When a few deities from various religions are compared, a number of differences definitely outdo that of similarities, and that offers insight into the limitations we (or the gods themselves) have set for the divine individuals.

Polytheistic religions are known for flawing their gods in certain ways in order to make their tales more interesting, and thus inspire stronger faith in their existence. Deities can, on one hand, be considered fairy-tale characters that are worth just as much as the stories they’re found in, or they can be perceived as the all-knowing creators of men that show us the way. In either case, just like we determine who we will socialize with depending on the information we have about them, we pick deities with almost the same method, taking the stories surrounding them into consideration before we start believing.

Thanks to deities, a lot of individuals worldwide have not strayed from the path of good, trying to honor those that they believe in with their benign actions. It is then safe to say that we can thank deities for many things men have achieved, both materialistically and spiritually.

For example, we wouldn’t have some of the world’s greatest wonders if not for the deities we believe in and the unquestioned devotion we aim to display to them. Thus, every deity is a spiritual benefactor to mankind.
