TLDR;
I think God exists, but traditional Christian beliefs are looking at the universe through a keyhole. However, other Godless religions miss out on the relational side of a humble, divine creator.
I grew up a Southern Baptist preachers kid. And I have never seen everything the same way as my family or church people.
I’ve gone to non denominational as well as Pentecostal for awhile.
My wife got into essential oils, became a doula, and got into the body healing trapped emotions.
I have gone to counseling and learned about internal family systems. And most recently, I gotten into Silva Mind Control Method. Also, Dune has been very influential book shaping how I view reality.
There is definitely a way the universe and energy interconnects. It’s not simplified by any religion, but each religion picks up on pieces of it.
Healing is possible, telepathy is possible, manifesting is possible. But on the contrary, evil is present and affects people who search for it. It preys on fear and inadequacy.
Even if you don’t believe in God, there are ways in which the universe works and responds… even at a subatomic scale. And it is much more intelligent than we give it credit for.
Starting from a believing in God perspective, it’s hard for me to get to a place where I don’t believe. I’ve tested any theory, questioned everything… and what I’ve come away with is that because “perfect” isn’t how we want things to be doesnt mean there is a some bigger picture that we only get a fraction of.
I also subscribe to an all powerful God having nearly infinite universes of every kind you can and cant think of. Because… God.
