O.k. but first you have to be my slave and go to the library and bring me the biggest , heaviest dictionary you can find.
Then make me some ice tea with a slice of orange on a tray and stand by me and turn the pages of the dictionary while I read and explain the definitions. After we are all done I will give you the punishment you need for being such a lazy boy in the first place !! Then You'd be really happy !! lol

polytheism---believing in more than one god or supreme being. Example: The ancient greeks, with their many gods of nature, were polytheistic.
monotheism---believing in just one god or supreme being. Example: Christianity is a religion that focuses on monotheism.
Diffusion---the clinical/biological definition is going from an area of greater concentration to an area of lesser concentration. Example: Spraying perfume in a room and then smelling it minutes later is an example of passive diffusion.
Hesitant to give you other definitions because they are my own paraphrased definitions and not sure how specific you are looking for. Thanks.
