The Earth Realigions teach tolerance. The Divine has manifested in different ways at different times to suit different people. The truth is revealed to each of us from deep within ourselves.

Sigrid the Proud now dwells in the halls of the Mighty in Asgard.
A person's own ancestral religion is always the best for them. Polytheism tends towards tolerance because how can a person say they have the one way if there are many gods?
Having many gods does not create conflict. Polytheism gives us a great divine chorus.

when, in the language of my ancestors , the word for "ceiling" is the same as the word for "top of the cave", I can perhaps expect to find a line of continuous belief "from the beginning"
however:
when the mixed bag ancestry which made "me" contains a jumble of belief-structures, I appear to have tried to find my own ,, which is a robust agnosticism.
be true to yourself
harm no others
seek wisdom
(show tolerance) and try to avoid the imperative voice lolol :)

Woot~!
I'm also fond of King Ragbod's assertion that he would rather spend eternity in Hell with his mighty and noble ancestors, than in Heaven with beggars like the priests who sought to convert him.
But I don't believe in "The Divine" myself . . . I believe in the ancient god/desses of my ancestors. And in my ancestors. ;-)

As a Christian, my personal convictions can accept that as
a valid statement that I might make as an affirmation of faith.
