Yeah the placebo effect can definitely do some magical things. And I'm not trying to be a dick or anything. I think the capacity of the human mind and body to heal itself is far greater then what a lot of people think. You just have to not worry so much and let shit work for you. A good diet and some exercise goes a long way to.

That being said I think the universe is largely a conglomeration of mostly chaotic systems working in just the right way that things can come together in some kind of harmony at large scales. Life is nature's attempt at bringing some semblance of reason and logic to it all. And different types of meditation serve to allow the human mind to tap into this natural randomness in such a way that things flow and harmony is created withen yourself. It's more about meditation-whatever that means for you, even just focusing on some math problems could be considered meditation in some way-focused intent/effort and just letting things jive then faith for me. Not that faith in yourself and your abilities is inconsequential. It's definitely not.

“I AM”
“I am that I am”
Exodus 3:14 - And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you.

The lordy Lord is good to me, He gives me the things I need. The crack cocaine and the pcp. Lsd and the Dmt. THC and the ecstacy. The Lord is good to me.
--------------------
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Sure we can never know it all, but GET A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD to the point that you can just talk smack together, have one on one fun and satisfaction together.

John 14:7 - If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."
John. 14:15-21 -“If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[c] in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

It’s the best answer I have..
That and
Exodus 3:14 - God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.'"
So, God is everything, as represented by Jesus Christ. I look at it like to specifically define ‘what’ God is puts immediate barriers on what it is. So it’s more of a, God is possibility... and the possibilities are endless in theory so, technically that allows for some pretty bizarre shit, as well as normal. Perhaps God is consciousness and everything else is just different colors of the Crayon box. Everything is a lot of stuff.

What if it were simple though, you know what I mean? Like, what if God worked with the same basic concepts we do and it’s not some complicated, million miles away concept? What if at it’s stripped down, extracted source it’s all right here.
You ever eat shrooms and feel connected with ‘the source’? You know that oneness everyone always talks about?

Nicely said. I like it.
I feel this way broda. God is always hilarously delighted as we talk of God, search for God, mentions God, hilarously complicates God. Though in actuality its really a complicated thang and has its barriers materially specially along with a WHAT? word in it. What is God? 
So as to what LOVE is? a complicated mystery, trully bizzare shit & Incomprehensible thru letters alone until it finally unfold on to us at EVERY moment. Where in actuality it always been there and waiting for us to finally decide to feel it unconditionally to talk about LOVE, be rammed by, shower others with. make LOVE(ofcourse not just sex alone, but beyond), etc.. infinite & endless possiblity.

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I( LOVE ) in the midst of them. Matt

You invest yourself in your relationship with God. Do that, and God invests back in His relationship with you.

Acts 2:17 - "'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.”
As far as preachers who mislead, there is a good bit written about them. You can see them coming from a mile away if you’re caught up in your studies though. The problem is a large portion of people get their teachings from their tv.

the so called pastors & teachers who are still goverend by the UNSEEN, teaching/preaching thy WORD but doesnt live by the WORD. For the greed of money they are demanding tithes 10% of our money to sustain their earthly vices and are Preaching to accept Jesus Christ w/o knowing a clue of his totality..
That tithes should be burried to the old testaments as they are not Levi. For Jesus christ has new law and said: -Second Corinthians, 9:7 - Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver. -hebrew 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law
It should be free Third John, 1:7 - because for the sake of the Name they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
It is written for this time -First John, 4:1 - Beloved, don't believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. -First Thessalonians, 5:21 - Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good. If yah have inhibitions, leave that false so called teacher, pastor, preacher, priest, reverend

No. It really aint. An animal evolved the ability to ask the reason why and without any knowledge of science attempted to answer the question.
If what any reasonable person would naturally wish for just happens to coincide with their religious tenets, chances are those tenets are based on nothing more than wishfull thinking.
Who wouldn't want to be reunited with a long lost loved one? Never mind there is this place called heaven...

No. It really aint.
It's really just all subjective . People live perfectly fine and happy lives believing whatever different things it is that they believe about god or anything else. Without any sort of REAL proof its kind of pointless to say for sure it's this way or that way.

God is an experiential concept that is a self fulfilling prophesy.
For example...
If you have a brick, a nice white brick, and to you that brick is the embodiment of God then that brick IS literally God to you. The reason good things happen is because of that brick, the reason bad things happen is because you or others didn't care about the brick enough. People who don't also believe in the brick don't know the truth about the brick like you do, you write stories about this brick that has given you everything, people listen, and the brick starts to provide for them as well. Other people see you guys and call you brick worshipping fools, they know better, they've got a rock that is the one true God. War ensues. The triumphant are empowered by the brick, the fallen are cared for by the brick. All other bricks and rocks are fake because none do what this one has done for those who believe in it. Others feel it's their duty to constantly remind people of the existence of the brick. The brick actually represents hope, life, health, community and a myriad of other things for true believers. Other groups of people get tired of these brick bashers, they don't seem to realise it's just a brick.
True story... well it could be.
It's simple allegory that shows what the act at faith does to us as humans. It gives us hope and meaning. It prevents us from being overcome by negative emotions in times of undue hardship and provides meaning in a word where there is often none. It's shown statistically that people with some sort of faith in something generally have better outcomes due to ongoing positive mindset. Positive feelings have positive effects on the body and vice versa. That's simple, well known, but not well understood science. Some people don't need the brick to feel good, they can generate their own hope and make sense of this insane world, for others a simple white brick is literally the saviour.
The Brick loves you.

A brick probably has consciousness, we just can't comprehend it because we aren't on the right plane of existence. We should try harder, really.

Well if life's a brick to you than life's a brick. I see what he's saying. Our beliefs create our own internal reality basically. It's all subjective. Not that there aren't objective truths about the physical world we live in. Like if you drop something in a pool of water it'll splash/ripple. Whether you believe it will or not. Basic objective physical truths. But your internal experiences, your beliefs, your conscious interpretation of the meaning of the world around you is subjective.

I have a hard time believing inanimate objects are conscious. I know people who think this and your perfectly entitled to believe that. But from my point of view even if the universe is pure information. And everything in it are data networks. Information doesn't=sentience. "Consciousness" may be some driving fundamental force of nature. And so nature as a whole may have some abstract kind of evolutionary "quasi-consciousness". But that doesn't mean every random mass of particles is conscious.

And I think the word "consciousness" is kind of a stretch even in describing nature/evolution as a whole. More like some sort of fundamental calculation program to create environments with a high potential for long term order/structural integrity. Basically I'm saying I don't think my calculator is conscious because it knows how to approximate mathematical expressions. Just my opinion. I mean I could maybe bite and say the universe as a whole could be conscious. Cause it's much more complex than my calculator that was just an example. But id need a lot of evidence. And I just can't believe a brick is conscious.

The parable of the pissing man.
There came to be two men walking along a dry river bed, for it was the easiest path. As they walked the need to piss came upon them, and low, they stopped to piss. Their streams did flow and take up the flotsam and jetsam, along with the odd ant.
Later did they unknown to them in this path, feel the rush of water about them as an unseen downpour upstream made its way down the dry bed toward them, and one was swept away, much like the flotsam and jetsam and said ant.
Luck would hold with the swept one who came to lie upon a rock in the middle of the foaming torrent,who, later reunited with his friend, recalled the ant taken up in their pissing stream and verily did they feel they'd witnessed the power of GOD.

I am not entirely sure if half of these posts are blasphemous or not.
For those who are having doubts and are going to do so, it's pretty much all about faith. You can choose whether to believe or not now (sometimes it's better now than later), but either way it's all in His timing.
It's really weird how it works. Sometimes people need a push.
I never believed for the longest time. Then.. when a series of events happen or problems start to get solved in front of your eyes, like things just fall perfectly in place... just simply could not be coincidence.
It really makes you think and reconsider things.

Yup. Shit happens that might make you reevaluate shit and come to the conclusion that, perhaps your religious upbringing was correct after all. Maybe it's easier to fall back on some old neglected teaching than to move forward without.

All the crazy pushy religious people in my family have made me positive that that's not at all what I want in my life. I was raised Christian. I still know some good religious people. But %90 of the religious people in my family have gone absolutely bonkers over the last year or so since I told them I'm not Christian. Like these mama jamas freaking out cause I bought some lions mane extract with 66 doses in a container. They think I'm possesed/going to hell cause of a number on a bottle lol. And now they'll try anything they can to "save me" I don't have a problem with religion in general. But Dewey don't want no part of that shit.

I would designate Christian but lately more than ever I feel organized religion is more harmful than good.
There may very well be great churches around, but a lot of them I've tried out in the past year and a half either only care about money or portray the wrong message.
Anymore I think God is a personal relationship between you and Him, and you should be the best person you can be, with His guidance, and help others anytime you can.
You don't have to be overly religious or follow the cult of others to believe in God.

I can belch when I want to. Its my body, I can manipulate it. He can have me pull 4 coins out of a pocket that held only 2, this universe, it's His body, he can manipulate it.

People spend too much time learning about religions from followers of said religions. There’s also this mainstream view, similar to how people looked at weed back in the day or how there’s all these beliefs about acid and how it makes you orange juice. Not many people actually learn how to pick up the snake.

Martial arts is a good comparison. Take a look at all the people claiming martial arts, there’s a lot of hocus pocus bullshit in that, there’s a lot of people with a basic knowledge, and there are people who train hard (much fewer). There are people who use it for bad things, and there are people who use it correctly. It’s a broad spectrum. They’re both also life long paths that you spend time trying to ‘master’, there’s a gradual process.
They’re both a lot alike in a way.

How CAN you respond to it?
I don't believe in God, I live with God. I do things for God, God does things for me. God does things for me only a God could do.
We're close 
Whats there to say if you havent experienced the miracles? "oh, wow, nice for you?"
If you go the extra mile for God, God goes the extra mile for you, and again and again and again.
God's a Giver, like the Sun, but God likes also to receive, like the Moon.
Ask not what God can do for you, ask what you can do for God.
You don't have to be some kind of biblical figure on a gold pedestal to have a personal relationship with God.
Work hard for God and God graces you with Mercy.
