Here’s where I’m at.

There’s not a doubt in my mind that god is real.

Still not really a fan of organized religion though.

god is a crutch for people who fail to acknowledge that we are no better or worse than any other biological life form.

People need to feel special, to feel like they have purpose and creating a higher power solves this.

I look at it like this, with all of the horrible things that happen to people, it’s difficult to believe that a benevolent and omnipotent being is sitting back watching this happen. And if he is, then that’s not a god I want to know.

Tragedy strikes and people run directly to prayer. well, if there is a god, then he’s the one who brought tragedy to you in the first place, so why would you pray to him for help.

TL;DR religion is nuts.

I hear you... have felt that way most of my life. Then oddly started aligning with conservative Christian values (pro-family, farming/self reliance, anti-perversion in schools, 2nd amendment, etc). Then as I watched our cities/society going to hell and our govt overflowing with sin and corruption, covid hit and I found myself directly in their camp. I would not call myself a Christian but can appreciate their values. I am curious to see where this journey will take me.
