My own dealing with gods are a bit odd. One the eve of my first degree initiation into my coven, I firmly believed in magic and various sorts of spirits, but didn't consider gods to be at all likely. Then, I lay down to meditate for a while, and had a pair of gods show up and talk to me and (mostly) about me to each other. I could see them physically (as blobs of energy) and in a more visionary manner as shifting faces and bodies and could hear them very clearly. Since that time, 15 years ago I maintain that I still don't believe in gods, but I've met several (including a few more since then, and also more than one angel).
