For some this means that when you enter a church sanctuary or temple you adjust your attitude toward the sacredness of the place and the reason that you have went there for. To others in different cultures, sacredness takes on the importance of life itself. This is a concept that is well-defined in the west, but of little significance in many other cultures. Beliefs in some form of supernatural power is nearly universal and can be seen as either focusing on the idea of dieties or gods versus those with lesser powers who tend to get involved in human affairs. Gods may be individually known, named, and personalized, recognizable by their attributes.
Gods usually possess superhuman powers, but few are considered omnipotent.
Gods may also be knowledgable about how to make the world work properly. They are usually the direct ancestors of the people. They are often consulted on special occasions or can be summoned for help. Provide three examples of the supernatural from your own culture. Symbols refer to things, present or absent, past or future, experience or not directly observed.
