This is a thread to discuss God and religion. One I didn't see created.

What are your thoughts and views on God, if any?

My relationship with Him is complicated, as I used to be Christian but have far strayed and no longer worship Him to a certain extent.

God doesn't exist, we don't know what created the universe, suffering is a living proof that there is no benevolent force, dysgenics proves that we are products of unintelligent evolution.

Nobody can truly prove it exists, so what's the point in believing in God? Moreover, how can you, in the time of science-based knowledge, believe in something that cannot be proven? And even if we assume God exists, does he really care about humans?

The archons are our believe systems, the demiurge is us. Those are right path are antinatalists. Doesn't matter what you, if you don't birth consciousness = redemption.

If God exists, he's not changing stuff based on what you say to him and anyone who thinks he is is fucking insane.

Wonder if there's a large number of Angels nevertheless, even if our planet is one of the many.

A vast majority of religious people are LARPing. If they truly believed they were going to heaven when they died they wouldn’t give two shits about money or their health or most things in life. I’d take up free solo rock climbing to get around the no suicide rule.

I pray only to Celestia (and her sister)

I don't really believe in God as in some being that consciously does things, much less something human-like. Seems to me that it's sort of arrogant to assume that the thing that made everything else is anything like us. Or perhaps just a result of humans general tendency to anthropomorphize. So for me God is something that exists but we can never grasp. It's more similar to the Dao for me. Like some kind of universal order or way in which all can be in perfect harmony fitting together like gears in some incomprehensible clockwork. This applies to matter as well as living things, I think. Every thing and being has a way of existing that is optimal for the greater whole. Religions to me are just the human attempts at setting up rules in an attempt to get closer to that state of harmony and balance, aka getting closer to God.
That way of thinking about it seems more reasonable to me.

I am of the opinion that that even if some "creative" (even this word comes charged with far too many human connotations) force exists in the universe that might resemble our notion of a God exists, it is not possible for us to have any meaningful understanding of it. Our situation as conscious entities in this existence is just so extraordinarily bizarre and nonsensical that it seems the height of hubris to suggest that you might possess unique knowledge regarding reality. To use a poor analogy, it would be like expecting a tiny screw or piece of metal within a computer to be able to understand its position and function within the broader whole of the computer. Relative to our perspective you can zoom in with a microscope and observe swarms of bacteria in everything, writhing around and reproducing, given the vastness of the universe from our vantage point it seems completely plausible that in a way we are no different from those bacteria. From the perspective of a large enough spectator there would not be any meaningful difference at all. Our planet may a singular molecule in a churning ocean of a larger plane of existence, which in turn may prove to but another molecule in the grander chain of reality. I understand this statement is somewhat ironic given I am here communicating my position on the world. Here I am positing my own absurd metaphysical propositions that are of course myopic and false. That's why I default back to "We don't know".

>What are your thoughts and views on God, if any?
Not very favorable in general due to how the world operates.
I still "pray" to God every now and then, mostly out of desperation, but my prayers are like that you'd have towards a wish fulfilling entity.
I could never quite understand Christian prayer, even as a kid.
It felt like you were talking to a tyrant acting like a good little serf so you can avoid wrath and get some scraps.
"Thy kingdom come and thy will be done." or something, not sure how it actually translates to the English variant.
I talked back to the priest holding bible class often enough to get banned.
(Mostly because I also attended a random Catholic bible study for a while in parallel, nobody checked if I belonged and I was too stupid to know the difference so I just went along with the other priest too lol.)
Never got confirmed either.

Generally speaking I prefer religions where there aren't any claims that are obviously false, tied to real mundane history etc.
So something like taoism I guess.
The more philosophical or fantastical and less human/mundane the better.

To some people Jesus being "some dude" while also somehow God s a point of connection, but to me it's a huge disconnect.
Why should I, person born 30 years ago be subject to tribal nonsense from a far-gone era of some carpenter that was then used as form of control, embraced by politicians at the time for such purposes.
Very weird to me.

Not to sound all fedora atheist here, I know it was in vogue back in the days online. I just dislike how so much of Christianity has been demystified and a lot of stuff has been traced back historically.
It's become too mundane.

I do enjoy spiritual topics, /x/ type stuff, gnosticism. Hell even stuff like astrology despite the stigma. Not too deep into anything myself.
It's sad how all of it is intertwined with Abrahamic religions though.
Unfortunate.

>>227863
I'm pretty sure even the jews think this. That God as manifest is just the greater whole coalescing into a temporary fragment for a purpose.
Maybe I'm just lacking in understanding or have false information. They got a ton of names for God too.

I do not believe that the worlds state is one of balance and harmony. If there are creative/progenitor forces they are chaos and not order.
The order we experience and crave is just a natural result, formed out of need for contrast.
So basically we, seekers of order in chaos are unintended, undesired even and the closer one goes towards order the further away they are from the progenitor.
