To me prayer, healing, and the evolution of thought to point where philosophy can manifest are the most apparent indicators of God. I am not religious, and may verge on agnosticism, but I do think it is highly likely that there is some sort of creative force that manifests good into the universe. This force seems to have our backs, but we also have to have our own backs. I don’t see the hardships of life as a proof of a callous universe.
For me, atheism is not an option, just like religion is not. Some could even argue that atheism is a religion. It’s a belief system that relies on nonbelief as its tenets. I have just seen and experienced too much in this world to discount a creator, but I’m open to the idea that I have no idea what exactly that creator is, or even if creator is the correct term. But I do know that love is the most important thing for humans to understand. You guys all rock.
Great thoughts Steve. Well, It sounds like you might lean towards pantheism. I think it's a very peaceful and harmonious way to perceive existence.
I know we say it's best not to judge people, but in truth we all do. That being said, I try, key word being "try", to judge people for their character and not for the religiosity or lack thereof.
Cheers mate.
For sure. Character and actions.
