I discovered something interesting today from a discussion at church about Revelations. The Priest's wife was talking about how there are many theories about the symbolism of the 24 elders John discussed in his description of heaven. She mentioned that one person thought it might be the 24 gods of Babylon. This got me thinking and I immediately had a thought that I shared with her. If God has been referred to as "all that was, is and will be", meaning that God was always there throughout history, then there was some validity to every major society's worship. In other words, if God has always existed, any religion worshiping a Deity would be in some way worshiping God. This is why I am highly convinced that God is nothing more than a place holder for what one personally holds as a supreme being.
I knew eclectic paganism would not steer me wrong! Hehehehe :)
