    Why do you believe specifically these deities are real and not any other ones?

    Not to be offensive but do you “truly believe”? I had a friend who was a Hellenic polytheist and it was mostly for fun. Also, are there any deities you particularly like?

    What faith/lack thereof were you before, and what made you convert?

    Were you called by these Gods, or did you pick them to believe in. I remember learning that most people picked one of those gods to worship to, do you have one you pray to the most as your main god or do you focus on them all?

    How come there is no chaos ? How all these Gods agree on the laws of universe?

    How did you connect with these gods? Did they call out to you?

    Is this a cry for attention or a weird way to try and add a personality trait

    How do you square your personal with the fact that a) we know very little hard details about how exactly these gods were worshippes in antiquity and b) how their cults and identities changed over time and location?

    What rites and observances do you participate in, and what other people are involved?

    Do you feel that your need to worship deities, reverence for deities, etc, is hindering your cognitive reasoning abilities?

    Awesome! What led you to this? Who is your patron? What rituals or practices do you observe? Do you belong to a temple or group?

    Some of these gods (Zeus, Poseidon etc) were created to explain natural phenomena (weather and phenomena that occurs in the sea like waves and tides in this example) before science could definitively explain why they occur. The purpose these gods served are redundant now so why do you believe they exist?

    What is your opinion of Rick Riordan’s books? More specifically, the ones about Greek Gods and Greek Heroes? Also, what is your opinion on other active polytheistic religions of the world like Hinduism? Do you Roman mythology to be another sect of the same religion or unique from your beleifs?

    What do you think about all of the stories about the greek gods doing horrible stuff? Take the copious amount of rape in greek mythology. How can you worship gods like Zeus, Poseidon, Apollo, Eos, and so forth, knowing that they have committed unspeakable acts on innocent humans?
