Psalm 96, 4-5

Now, as a conservative Unitarian-Universalist, it must be admitted that followers of other faiths, (As long as they worship the Mother and Father, and pray to Good Spirits, now bowing down to Satan and Lera, or furthering the cause of Evil Spirits ruling this world.) have legitimacy, and their followers are our allies, not our competitors and enemies to be converted or wiped out. I love the Old Testament, but monotheistic intolerance of other faiths and other gods is not what I accept or believe. But, since I read the Bible for spiritual value and comfort, I must report its messages as written, not how I interpret doctrine extra-Biblically.

With this qualification, I still love this line from Psalm 96: "For great is the Lord and highly to be praised (Ed says: God is great and highly to be praised, appreciated and complimented often and routinely.); awesome is he beyond all gods. For all the gods of  the nations are things of nought."

God the Mother married to God the Father are the greatest, good deities, and they are awesome beyond all other gods. But, neither the Mother or Father, though enjoying near monotheistic entitlement and acknowledgement, do not denigrate good if lesser gods and goddesses worshiped by millions over historical time. These lesser deities are legitimate, welcome, partners bringing the peoples to worship on the Light Side. They are not things of nought, but are important somethings, if not theological Everythings like the Mother and the Father.

These lesser deities are not competitors to be shunned and silenced, but are partners included under the realm of beneficent influence ruled by the Mother and the Father.
