If you were to create your own religion..
#10
RE: If you were to create your own religion..
I am a very big fan of polytheism and would simply create a pantheon of gods that do not explain nature yet instead are used to express human qualities. True gods are without a doubt very anthropomorphic while the "gods" of Abrahamic polytheisms are just bad visualizations of the cosmos.

I would have a series of goddesses and gods in a dualistic fashion in representation like this:

Maarifa - Wisdom
Adab - Goodness
Khuluq - Morality
Kalam - Promotion of good speech

Collectively this would form al-Rabb and be deemed the expressive qualities of the ideal human (Ubermensch to Nietzschean philosophy).

Pretty simple I would say and very elaborate to some degree Big Grin
