Mahadev Shiv - the Supreme, the Ultimate

If you say so.

The rig vedas say there is only one God . Are the vedas monothesistic

[Diplomat]

There is actually only one God.
But humans mental capacity is so limited that understanding how ONE God can perform all these activities is beyond them so it has been broken apart and assigned to various Gods (ha ha) for the ease of understanding and comprehension.

It is said that each god is a reflection/manifestation/symbolic of one independent thought/idea/feeling/conclusion/etc of the human mind+heart.

So you have feelings/thoughts of physical desire, money, power, detachment, happiness, knowledge, character, health, food/hunger, thirst/water, evil thirst (blood-thirst) so on & so forth.

If in all, there r 33 crore such thots/feelngs etc, each god represents one of them. The overall mind+heart is, however, ONE. And not each feeling/thot is completely disconnected with others.

This concept is not completely evolved/proven/analyzed yet (perhaps).

I keep hearing so many stories which seem contradictory. It is an assumption that Lord Shiva, just like Lord Rama came to earth. right? Or was it only Rama?

Sorry, I am pretty ignorant.

Yes, your assumption is correct. They always came in pairs. But it is usually Krishna, whose avatars are famous and books are written on. And this may be one reason why Shiva is always angry... and wants to destroy everything

what has it got anything at all to do with wanting a dominant guy in life?

No, as a matter of fact, I do not like people who try to dominate, male or female.
