The idea of supreme being are differs

The idea of supreme being differs from person to person, from community to community, from generation to generation. This idea of a supreme entity is formed in parallel with the personal factors involved, and consequently carries different meanings.

Furthermore, some of the meanings may contradict and even exclude the others. If we hadn't had a flexible concept of supreme entity it could not have lasted this long in the history of mankind. Whenever a concept of supreme being and its related theology has become meaningless or has lost its relevance, it has either disappeared in silence or was replaced with another one.

So the bottom line is:

  • There have been numerous concepts of supreme beings in history. Therefore where there are human beings there are supreme beings. Thus the concept of supreme being is a personal one.
