You have really strong prejudice about God. God always dont have to be like individual like humanbeing.
If somebody call a equation like E=mc2 a god because of this equation rules the movement of the particle, its a god for him.
So Indian called the natural phenomenon like Gods.Thats it. Plain simple.
OK, one word for you then:
METAPHORSo fine, you don't think any of these "gods" exists, they're just a way of explaining nature.
We've gone through this multiple times, sheeeeeesh. When will you understand that I'm open to both the "christian" perspective and the "buddhist"? When I ask if you believe in the actual existence of a god or if it is a metaphor, then I'm not excluding any alternative.
