Attracted to Polytheism

I find myself attracted to Polytheism because of its tolerance of diversity of belief, its total connectivity to nature and respect for the environment, its sense of mystery, the spirituality of the everyday existence, and the lack of dogmatic beliefs, formal creeds and institutionalised religion common to Monotheistic religions. I wonder if the person and practices of Jesus has more in common with Polytheism than Christian denominations acknowledge. The stories of Jesus and the mystery of the Spirit seem to exude a freedom of expression and experience and wonder in relating both to the mystery of that which we name God and to the lives we live on a daily basis. To me this spirituality seems much more attractive and real and personal than the religion of reciting creeds and making orthodox confessions of faith. More to come...
