"i don't really believe in gods i think but i do believe in higher beings

i just don't know how to describe em in one word, they just are."

But what makes them gods? Is it self proclaimed? or is that people decide to recognise them as such?

after all, the only reason a leader can lead is because he has those who will follow him.

i think people proclaim them gods really, thus recognizing them as such (look at the whole church going community)

How would you sum up your perception of the Goddess and/or God in one word?

Mine would be: everything.
The only word that I can even begin to use is "many" or "innumerable" or something like that.

As a hard polytheist, I believe that all deities are separately-existing, individual entities and I can't really begin to even think of a word that could be common to all, except maybe to account for the fact that there are so many of them.

Just one word? Wow that is hard. I can think of so many words but right now I will say unpredictable
I am just in awe with my Lord and Lady right now. I am just amazed about how unpredictable they are. Not that it is a bad thing, it is good. Love is another word that comes to mind but since I can only do one, I'm sticking with unpredictable.

If I had to sum up my patron Goddess in one word, it would be: Mother
She has always been there, especially in my darkest hours, a mothering and caring figure looking out for me. But she also is going to scold me if I get out of control, and gently discipline me.

The concept of God/s is a slippery one.
In my opinion,
Gods are beings/entities that have a forward motion in time and space but they have mastered both.
Unlike us they have created systems to keep them on top of those two factors where time and space only matters to the systems that they create. I think that their journey had started in the living plane.
When we think about Gods they are usually accompanied with the ability to control what surrounds them to an extent that it sets them apart from the rest of us. They are good at creating infinite systems that exist without end but there is a catch they have to work on that in order to be infinite and endless. Exactly that element makes them gods. That initial touch that spreads into infinity to become infinity. They live a mark in those infinite systems that we recognize only when we don’t see the initialization point but we recognize the result.
In order for gods to exist there has to be a system that recognizes their existence, but that does not mean that they don’t exist. That recognition is the drive to reach the ultimate state that puts us on a spot where we would be able to create a system that is infinite, just like them. For example an infinite system would be the insurance of the survival of our species no matter what. How and if it is possible is only a matter of creation of a system that beats time and space. To us that might seem a necessity but if we were to encounter another species that is about to be wiped out we would seem as the one that has control over what they could not accomplish, putting us in a position to practice that “power” either to help them or to just beat them with our infinite system that allows us to continue to beat time and space.
That’s why I believe in the infinite god system. Where everyone is a potential God if he/she finds a way to beat first time/space and eventually to start creating systems that exists into infinity/eternity to be lived and experienced but more importantly recognized.
I could imagine a being with technology beyond belief that moves from world to world spawning life. I could imagine that same being entering the afterlife and excelling there to. Of course with the help of others initially until his infinite systems are put to work. Eventually, developing a system that has the potential to influence two realities/universes.
Here is a kinky way at looking at time control with a backward swing to it. We exist in the living plane for a period of time. Let’s say 100 years. Let’s assume that there is after life. If someone is to contact us from that plane even though they co- exist there is a point that separates them. That point is the point of death. Now, you are 30 years old and they contact you and interact with you were that someone is creating a system that includes you partially in their universe where you get familiarized with them. Here is the kinky part. You live your life for another 70 years and you die. Those 70 years are the factor that is important. Because during those 70 years you are waiting to enter a universe that exist only in the future that is determined by your point of death. After that you enter their universe, and you meet that individual that had interacted with you 70 years in the past. Wouldn’t you say that he had controlled time to interact with you? That is only true if you encounter the individual responsible for that interaction because then time control has a starting point and a face.

Cheers.
