Descriptions:
Kwaku and Ian talk with special guest Stephen Smoot about polytheism.
The 3 Mormons talk about monolatry or the idea that though there are multiple gods, there is one supreme God. Stephen says that monolatry can be thought of as combining the ideas of monotheism and polytheism.
Kwaku brings up the concern of Mormons believing in something similar to Greek gods. Ian explains that Mormons don’t believe in a similar idea as Greek gods but that they believe in one God while there may exist other gods. We can’t “pick and choose” a god to whom we subscribe.
Stephen quotes Mark Smith to illustrate that monotheism and polytheism are both ideas of recent age– that the two words don’t mean much for the ancient Israelites. So perhaps we need to think of polytheism differently.
