Pick a non-Christian's brain

[Eyeheart Pumpkin]

Okay, since we have every other type of brain-picking on here (except maybe gay biker midgets who believe raccons are sacred), I can cover Agnostic, non-Christian theist, and Pagan. So ask away!

Yeah, I went from Eireann to Eyeheart Pumpkin. The bands in my sig are just faves. However, over at Wicca Forums I do use one of them - "Nightwish."

hello eyeheart pumpkin,

what do you believe about God and why? what do you value about the views you hold? what do you think about Jesus (apart from the hypocrisy you may have observed in Christians around you)?

looking forward to dialogue.

Greetings, Eyeheart Pumpkin -

I do have a question, and I would like to know what is your opinion as one who deals with the wiccan mysteries.

What is the proper way to regard the goddesses and the gods? Who are they, exactly?

I want to know how best to understand the dieties that various wiccans revere, such as Diana, Isis, Pan and so forth, who have names and stories associated with them, who are invoked and to whom honor is given in ritual.

Are the goddesses and the gods correctly understood to be mere symbols that represent aspects of human psychology and/or attributes of the natural cosmos?

Or, are the goddesses and the gods actual beings who take up space (in much the same way as lemons and chairs and freight elevators take up space), who each experience themselves to be a "me" just as you and I experience ourselves to be "mes", and who act as independant agents in accordance with their own wishes and desires?

Or, are the goddesses and the gods different faces of one divine being?

I am not so much interested in hearing the full range of learned opinion as much as in hearing your own understanding of who the dieties are.
