Deities

**Deities** (or Gods) are a race of immortal anthropomorphic beings of infinite power. They are the most powerful forces in the universe and might be responsible for the creation of the universe itself.

There are various kinds of Gods and Goddessess with different origins. They vary in cultures in the way of style, character and ability. Most are percieved as all powerful, and benevolent.

## Description

Deities are the oldest and most powerful entities in existence. While the origins of divinity remains unknown, it is commonly believed that deities are a primordial race of gods who have existed long before the universe was created and will continue to exist long after the universe is destroyed. While gods are depicted in a variety of forms, they are frequently portrayed as having a humanoid shape. However, some faiths and traditions consider it blasphemous to imagine a god as having any concrete form. Nevertheless, almost all deities are believed to be immortal, and are thought to have ultimate knowledge, power and understanding over the universe and all things within it. Deities are also believed to have desires, emotions and intelligence that is comparable, but usually superior, to those of humans.

SomSome religions have one supreme deity, while others have multiple deities. A male deity is a god (though "God" is used in a gender-neutral way in monotheistic religions), while a female deity is a goddess.
