One single god God, perhaps what makes a god a god? I do believe we form a network or web of connected consciousness. Who’s contained within this web and how interactions work on it is where it gets interesting.
Like a federated god?
No
I don’t believe in God, although it’s very nice to have somebody to pray to when you are in a bad situation with no control. Like there is still a way for things to go right because even if you don’t have control, somebody has.
I’ve got hypotheses about how there could be a god, but there’s not really any evidence or any reason I’ve seen to think there is one. While it’s not something that can be ruled out 100%, it seems stupid at this point to believe he/she/it even exists, much less to worship it, not with the state of the world today.
Which one?
The spaghetti monster
Ramen to that!
Praise be Its Noodly Appendage
I don’t believe in any deities. Although, Greek mythology really would be cool if it was real.
Cool, and also terrifying.
Like The Fonz wielding a chain saw
I asked AI to draw that with interesting results
I mean, it got the jacket sort of right 🤷
I had to ask it to tweak it several times hah

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful. — Seneca
What’s a mob to a king? What’s a king to a god? What’s a god to an atheist?
Nonbeliever*
What’s the atheist to the inquisition?
What’s the inquisition to- NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!
Nobody asked about religion.
Feel free to substitute “the existence of a God” for “religion” then.
If there is a god, it takes a special sadist to allow the amount of torment present on earth.
So I prefer to believe there’s no higher spirit ravelling in the suffering of all creatures rather than there being a malevolent creator watching with glee as we die a slow, painful death.
When I was religious (I’m not any more) that was something that never actually troubled me. I believed that god was benevolent but that suffering must be necessary in ways that we humans can’t conceive of. Who were we to question the grander plan?

The researcher observing the lion didn’t create the concept of suffering tho

I love what-if scenarios :)
I think you could go one step further with this theory and say that humans are not that important at all. I mean, why would we think we are? Because god told us so? Maybe he just said that to account for some variable and left it at that. Hasn’t looked back at what we were up to since.
In some distant corner of the universe is a much nicer planet where everyone is living in harmony and peace. We’re just the control group :)deleted by creator
basically believing in god is akin to believing that this is all just a game of sims some twisted being is playing
I can’t imagine a world with god in it.
Nope. Never have that I remember.
I did go to Catholic school though
No.
Yes, I believe I’m part of God, same as all it exists, we are God, we are energy, we are 1.
I’ll have what soulre4er is having.
