The God idea In the beginning of the God-idea, people worshipped many gods -- gods of trees, streams, lightning, storm, winds, the sun, and all other earthly activities. These gods were related to each and every act of nature. The belief that spirits live in objects such as stones, tree roots and mountains is known as ANIMISM. Then gradually man began to give these gods, sex and form as well as the physical and mental characteristics of human beings. Human characteristics were given to the gods: love, hate, jealousy, fear, pride, envy and other emotions found among human beings. The belief in many gods is known as Polytheism. From all these gods, there slowly grew a realisation that the events of the Universe were not many but were One. This understanding gave rise to the monotheistic God of recent ages. This God was regarded by different men in different ways. Some idealised God as the King of heaven and earth; they had an idea of God as a person. Others thought of God as an abstract principle. Some pictured God in a paradise or heaven while others made an idol and worshipped it. The Theists said, 'Yes' and went on to say yes God really did exist. The Atheists said, 'No' and went on to say that God did not really exist at all. The Sceptics or Agnostics said, 'We do not or we cannot know.' Thus there grew a variety of ideas and beliefs and names for the God-idea
