Why, believer or not, you seek a Monotheistic God.

Why, believer or not, you seek a Monotheistic God.

Because that God is you. Instinctively speaking.

Our hiving or groupish natures and desire for friendship and fellowship lead us and statistics are showing how well our selfishness is working in terms of rapprochement for each of us to the whole world.

This tribalism is both a blessing and a curse. The hive/you, seeks to unite with the other hives, --- is everyone's basic hive mind's number one desire. This is your base driving force for survival.

We desire one God and human master above all other desires. We all crave a monotheistic world while wanting that God to be ourselves. We call that freedom. We are all in this together while all wishing to stand alone and above. Some call this our selfish gene and without it we would go extinct.

Note the wisdom of the first few self-centred commandments. Like that God, we are all quite self-centered. Not near as barbaric as the bible God in most cases though, --- and our recognition of duty sends that self-centeredness to duty and love, --- when it turns outwardly or towards others.

If I was to define God as, --- ( just the best set of rules to live life by ), --- then the statement, --- believer or not, you seek a Monotheistic God, --- becomes truth.

That God, --- described as rules and laws, --- is what believers seek.

Non-believers seek the same thing, but with an ideal that is a human leader (s), and not a supernatural being.

It seems that our natural selfishness turned duty is serving us well as a species if the trends are real. Remember to continue to seek an ideal in rules and laws.

If you have found God, you are an idol worshiper. Your bible or holy book condemns such an action.

As said in Candid, we are in the best of all possible worlds, because this is the only possible world. The world evolves and our political Gods as well as our religious Gods and masters must also all evolve.

We all seek a Monotheistic God and we all want him or her to be us. We do look outwardly though for the role model, --- and that is what makes the search worthy. It is what makes us more fully human.

The thinking shown below is the Gnostic Christian’s goal as taught by Jesus but know that any belief can be internalized.

This method and mind set is how you become I am and brethren to Jesus.

When you can name your God, I am, and mean yourself, then you will begin to know the only God you will ever find. God is that part of you that is more fully human.

Then why is polytheism more prevalent in the past, and monotheism more current?

If what you are saying is true, then monotheism would have been more present in the past, and there would be more polytheism today.

Yeah, what Shakya said. Polytheism creates a huge problem for the central thesis here. Comparatively, monotheism is still kinda young, historically speaking. As such, I would think it would point to cultural and historical factors more than intrinsic biological or psychological ones. We have biological data to suggest that we are predisposed toward belief. But I've heard nothing that suggests we lean evolutionarily more toward monotheism or polytheism.

I've proposed the notion of metaphysical entities being liken to naturally evolved Sentients, peripheral to our brane, who have somehow managed to permeate it.

Given that these extra-cosmological entities cannot operate metaphysically here, they must operate by influencing the natural processes of the cosmologies in which they inhabit.

I do not agree.

Are we not brighter and more educated today?

Yes we are and we recognize that we all live in pyramidal demographic commons that all have a top dog.

Our superstition level has dropped considerably. Except for literalist fools that is.
