Weird Rites
Conceptually, in a spiritual mumbo-jumbo sort of way, it is possible to love all of the Gods simultaneously. However, because there are an infinite number of Gods, it is, in a practical, real-world sense, impossible for us to properly worship all of Them individually. Consequently, most Infinitian churches focus on one or a small number [...]
