"A deity or god is
a supernatural being
considered to be sacred and
worthy of worship due
to having authority over some aspect of the universe and/or
life.
The Oxford
Dictionary of English defines deity as
a god or goddess,
or anything revered as divine. C.
Scott Littleton defines
a deity as "a being with powers greater than those of
ordinary humans, but who interacts with humans, positively
or negatively, in ways that carry humans to new levels
of consciousness,
beyond the grounded preoccupations of ordinary life".
