I love the conception and portrayals of gods, and by gods I mean the pagan polytheistic gods. Not the immature Abrahamic ones. I love the myth and ritualism of Arabian cults but by no means do I find them real just as a person participating in Christmas finds Santa Claus real. Gods make for great and meaningful symbols and ritual but when taken as an ontological perspective and creating a metaphysical system out of them it is just going to far.
I pray to gods, worship them and partake in religious events but by no means does it make those gods as real as a child thinking the tooth fairy gave him money.
