Message: <blockquote data-quote="mythago" data-source="post: 482692" data-attributes="member: 3019">Remember, as well, that there are all kinds of -theists. A pantheon need not include gods of all alignments. Some polytheists will believe that 'other gods' exist (though they aren't worshipped); others will believe those other gods are false, or are simply renamed versions of the true gods. An excellent point. And worth noting that "can talk to the god(s) without an Offical Intermediary" can be a world-shaking difference between religions.IIRC, the traditional Chinese pantheon is structured somewhat like a bureaucracy. Of course you honor the Supreme Gods, but you wouldn't pray to them for help, any more than you would go to President Bush instead of your local Representative when you had questions about getting a law passed.</blockquote>
