so,just about everybody has ruled out the possiblity of their being spcific Gods for a element.Such as the greek Gods,what is the difference however between believing in "mythology" and say for instance a Christan religion.Why is it more beliveable?Does anybody have a answer to why it is more believed that their is one God and not many? Why do people who believe in a God not realize that they are believing in the same thing that they also call rubbish?
That's indeed interesting. They had minor deities for pretty much everything. And what do we have today? A saint for fishing, for the weather etc., that are invoked for good luck. It would make sense.
But unfortunately, for the Catholic Saints, doesnt their power ultimately stem from a belief in God? They're still viewed as mortals, agents of God. But the minor deities seem to be accorded more reverence and respect befitting a higher being.

So they just down played the worship aspect a bit. Still sounds plausible.
