For those that do call upon a God, for divine connection or a last-minute plea of retribution, the matter of ‘singularity of a deity’ holds relative importance.

First, in this matter, I think what needs to be established, is the perception of “God.” Now, in whatever religion, “God” is the All-mighty, the All-Powerful entity, who is the Creator of everything of existence.

So in all formal concepts, every single theory of “God”, really points to a singular entity. Well, now that we’re talking, a predominantly male entity. But that is thought for a whole other conversation.

The singular divine entity, the Creator of all things, has always remained and potentially favorably will always remain, a singular entity. That is since the advent of religion itself. This is because the logical and demanding basis upon which religion, as an entity itself, was formulated was to surrender to the Oneness of a Mightiest Being. A singular Being to whom we can reference in order to fill the gaps of our knowledge.

Of course this holds an inverse relation. When there were greater increase in the gaps of our knowledge, more Gods were created to fill these gaps in mythological faiths. But with the advent of our sciences, these gaps filled themselves, and so the credibility of these Gods became less and less favorable.

Of course there were sects during that time that believed in a Singular Deity. And of course there are also sects at this time who practice polytheism.

(This is merely a large generalization and condensation of the evolution of religion and beliefs through the millions of years of our ancestry.)

As best-selling author Dan Brown writes in “Origin”:
“When we learned that tides were caused by lunar cycles, Poseidon was no longer necessary, and we banished him as a foolish myth of an unenlightened time… the same faith befell all the gods---- dying off, one by one, as they outlived their relevance to our evolving intellects.”

This is not about debunking polygamy and proving that praying and believing in a singular God is more righteous than any other religious practice. It simply is not this way, because pouring over whose perception of God is the right perception, is entirely flawed.

There is no hard and fast right or wrong, when we look to a “God.” Whether we look to a God or not, whether he prays to three gods, and I pray to one, it doesn’t matter, for we all are in pursuit of a singular goal: Peace and Equilibrium.

All we need to do, is look to ourselves, as a singular people, as a singular species. As mankind, all we need are; comfort for our mind and soul, spiritual completeness, and happiness in the present moment. In whichever way, we are pursuing this ends, we are all moving along the same path.

This realization is letting go of an egoic identity, because as long as you latch on to an identity with a certain sect or a certain belief, you distance yourself from the actual truth of existence. That actually, it doesn’t really matter what path each of us takes to fulfill their human hunger of completion, because the goal is the same.

As Dan Brown further writes:
“Tragically, on account of religious dogma, millions of people believe they already know the answers to the big questions. And because not every religion offers the same answers, entire cultures end up warring over whose answers are correct, and which version of God’s story is the One True Story.”

So, I guess what this all leads up to is that judging the righteousness of different approaches or methods to seeking “God(s)” or spiritual completeness holds no actual importance. But what does carry importance is the individual realization of the bigger picture. That you, individually, are an ignorable part in this vast cosmos of existence. The only way, that all of it can hold meaning is if it all is delicately interconnected. All of it, from my individual belief, to his daily practices, to the collapse of a gaseous nebula, to the birth of a new star. All of it, interconnected, in a beautiful, meaningful way. And to go on with your life, knowing that the pursuit of understanding this bigger picture, is what fulfills you, is what I guess can truly be deemed as something closest to “righteousness.”

Because I don’t think that there is actually something completely “righteous”. Or something that is “God”. We create these terms only so that the vast entanglement of the cosmos around us makes sense. And in doing so, we get entangled in the meticulous webs we crafted ourselves.

As Eckhart Tolle writes in “The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment,”

"The word God has become empty of meaning through thousands of years of misuse… By misuse, I mean that people who have never even glimpsed the realm of the sacred, the infinite vastness behind that word, use it with great conviction, as if they knew what they were talking about. Or they argue against it, as if they knew what it was that they were denying. This misuse gives rise to absurd beliefs, assertions and egoic delusions, such as “My or our God is the only true God, and your God is false,” or Nietzsche’s famous statement ‘God is dead.’"

I think the only solution, individually, to warring over different sects of belief, is to get rid of words altogether, because words limit us. Words make us go to war with each other. Let the concepts of existence be free of words. Let these concepts engulf you. And in that sate of complete surrender to the magnificence of creation, maybe somewhere, maybe at some point, we’ll merge with the meaning of it all.
