The Gods and Goddesses are objectively real entities whose existence is not dependent on the beliefs or actions of lesser beings. They are not archetypes. They are not imaginary symbols of human activity or of the human mind.

Good question. We don't know. I doubt any mortal knows other than assumed traditions. I doubt there's 100s of billions of gods like I've seen some polytheist philosophers on here try to claim. If that weer true it'd be pretty lame for me.

Would you not say that the henads are not subject to quantity?
-
Yeah I don't know. It's also a problem within Christian circles too- "Why aren't there an infinite amount of persons in the Godhead, not just three?" I think those sort of questions will only be answered to us once we reach the state of henosis. Right now it's too abstract.
-
Would you not say that matter is the principle of individuation, and thus that if the Henads are subject to quantity (being individuals) they must also be material?
-
I don't know enough about any of these things to give you an answer. I'll need to learn about the principle of individuation & matter. I don't see why immaterial things would be bound to homogeneity. Certainly doesn't apply to abstract objects (i.e. #4 isn't #7)

FYI to Anarchic & GOK,
@CosmicWight is on a 7 day suspension and I don't believe he has an alt. So doesn't expect a response from him anytime soon.
