I think God IS time & space & everything within it.

A map or a computer cannot contain all the information in the world. The amount of information that exists in any particular area is infinite when compared to what can be contained in a map or a model or an image. The movement of leaves & grains of sand & living things & all energy & matter simply cannot be capured or stored.

So for God to truly be ALL KNOWING & all powerful & ultimately in control of everything (without the control being arbitrary), God has to actually be the system itself. And so in order to get closer to God we need to better understand the world around us.

There are objective & discoverable laws of morality, but they are dictated by the nature of existence. Old books have very little to do with it, aside from being past efforts of people to write down & explain what they previously discovered.

I am that which I am

It is what it is

Existence exists

A is A

To my mind, the religious mindset at its best is the same as the scientific mindset at its best - allowing the world to be what it is, rather than thinking one's own ego shall shape it

Religion is just a habit of virtue that inclines the will to render God what he deserves.

Most people have a wrong understanding of what religion isa
