Found this paragraph in an article on the changing role of homosexuality in religion. I liked it cause it talks about the polytheistic mind - a concept which I am very much into:
- Polytheistic societies allow for polytheistic ways of thinking about government, everyday tasks, and even sexuality. David Miller argues that most people exist in a polytheistic state of mind and that this is a good state of mind to be in. Miller states that the polytheistic mind and society are what allows one to multi-task, to act different roles in society, and to engage in several types of thought processes at once. To neatly summarize Miller’s main point: polytheism allows transitive thoughts and behaviors to occur without necessarily causing severe mental or moral dilemmas.
