Polytheism is the belief in and worship of multiple deities, called gods and goddesses. These are usually assembled into a pantheon, along with their own mythologies and rituals. Many religions, both historical and contemporary, have a belief in polytheism, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Shinto, Ancient Greek Polytheism, Roman Polytheism, Germanic Polytheism, Slavic polytheism, Chinese folk religion, Neopagan faiths and Anglo-Saxon paganism. Polytheists do not always worship all the gods equally, but can be monolatrists, specialising in the worship of one particular deity. Other polytheists can be kathenotheists, worshiping different deities at different times.

They're more concerned with the ''transcendent'' qualities those gods portray, thus the term. If I had to label him anything, I would say that Aristotle was a transtheist (or a transtheistic polytheist, more specifically). Polytheists believe in more than one god, and may or may not be transtheistic. Answered by Johnny Blaze - Mon Dec 15 22:19:33 2008 What are the basic tenets of Egyptian polytheism? Q.

Its hard to argue whether or not this is true, since we can't understand things except by using logic, but it also makes a kind of sense. If God is supposed to be omnipotent and omniscient, it makes sense that he could do illogical, or to us, counterintuitive things. Interestingly enough, as much as people see Islam as a backwards and corrupt religion, the Qu'ron states that the most perfect thing Allah made was reason, and the things he did were done according to it.
