I feel I need to stand up and say that in terms of religions and religious ideologies, I firmly believe that there is room for every religious experience, provided that plurality and diversity are respected and preserved.

There cannot be peace or civility between religious communities or societies if one religious community is asserting its doctrine or views above others, and attempting to silence other views. I believe firmly in pluralism, diversity, and personal freedom to choose.

I believe that there is room for each perspective to be heard and for people to make their own determination what is healthy and right for them. As a polytheist I recognize the existence of all the Gods, and that includes Gods I myself do not worship or give cultus to.

I will always stand by the values of freedom of religious belief and practice for every human being, and that includes people with opposing views. Where I personally draw the line is with any ideology asserting its superiority at the expense of others, and striving to enforce it

My belief is that all the Gods are worthy of worship by Their people, and that people devoted to their deity/deities should strive to serve their deity/deities to the best of their abilities. There is room for everyone to do that, in my opinion.

My life as a devotional polytheist is not centered on what others are doing or not doing, but rather on what I'm doing and need to do. How do I put my Gods first? How am I serving the and establishing right relationship with Them at all times? How can I improve my devotion?

When I browse social media I see so much finger pointing, discouragement, and endless dissection of what others are doing or how others are going wrong. For my own part I choose to focus on what I need to do for my Gods in order to be a just and productive human being.

I choose to live by example. I say live not lead, because I don't regard myself as a leader. I'm a servant of the Gods, thus my focus is service. Service to me means offering the efforts of my life and livelihood to my Gods for Their pleasure. My pleasure comes last.

The Gods are perfectly capable of chastising and punishing those who do ill or falsely misrepresent Them. They don't need my big mouth pointing out the faults of others. My service is grounded in a cultus that embraces every area of my life, including the secular.

In my household there is no secular, since my household contains a Temple and is the holder of holy relics and cult images. Washing the dishes and taking out the trash are part of serving the Temple and are part of my practice in living the Gods at all times.
