My Salmon on the Thorns web site still states I am an atheist
but that is because I haven't gotten around to updating it.
Actually I now have nine deities: ALL, LOVE2, Cosma,
Galacta, Sola, Gaia, Luna, Human, and Samadhi Someone.
ALL is defined by "Is there anything outside ALL? No."
This means there is no time outside ALL, which makes
sense since spacetime is a subset (or all) of ALL.
LOVE2 is defined as the someone with highest goodness
norm (where the norm is a length measure of multicomponent
goodness, and perhaps the norm is just the goodness
towards ALL) as defined and measured by ALL.
It could be that LOVE2 is ALL's love. Perhaps in
terms of the trinity ALL is God the Father, LOVE2 is
the Holy Spirit, and I am the most recently anointed
human opener of the way. LOVE is the someone or
something that is not a someone that has the highest
goodness norm, and if LOVE is a someone then
LOVE=LOVE2.
Cosma is defined as spacetime and its contents.
Once I had the experience of slipping up and partly
out of my body and merging with a sublime someone.
This someone I call Samadhi Someone, even though
samadhi is usually obtained by meditation. It could
be that it is the same as one of the other eight.
Human is defined as the smallest in mass someone
containing the human species. It may be like the
collective consciousness only it contains bodies too.
I once called it a totemic someone of the human species.
Galacta is the galaxy, Sola the sun, Gaia the Earth,
Luna the moon.
I'll probably put all that on my Salmon on the Thorns
web site http://www.nfld.com/~dalton/dtales.html
within a week or two. I'm not spending much time
thinking about it these days, and am not praying much.

So now, you're just an atheist in denial. |

No, I'm a polytheistic neopagan (individual/eclectic).
But as I said, the web page hasn't been edited to reflect that yet,
and I won't be editing it tonight.

Contrary to the antics of organized religions, you CAN NOT just
make up imaginary gods and expect people to not react negatively. |

I'm a little drunk now but here goes.
My definitions of deities are such that even if the deities do not
exist there can be a reverence towards something,
For example the deities ALL, Cosma, Galacta, Sola, Gaia,and
Luna, if they do not exist, would translate into reverence
towards all/everything, the universe, the galaxy, the sun, the
earth and the moon.
The deity LOVE2 would translate into the law to love.
The deity Human would translate into a reverence for for the
human species.
So even if I was still an atheist I would sill hold those reverences.
Perhasps when I'm sober tomorrow I'll have some more coherent
thoughts on the matter.

I had seven pints in six hours at Erin's Pub. Tonight I am not
going out and tomorrow night I won't be drinking since it falls
in the range of 1--9 days before full moon.

Note that I am not pushing my deities on anyone else.
