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.

Yeah , I know this. Damn, recently He keeps reminding me of it. And right when I started doubting it.
But it doesn't makes me feel any better no more. (well, maybe for a while)
And then I keep falling again and again..

Maybe you should try not guilt tripping yourself based on someone elses very likely hypocritical indoctrination.

Yeah. Like this creature capable of firing up a million billion + stars as in "let there be light" with a click of it's fingers would give two flying shits about you.

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.

Maybe believing things just cause they're easier for you isn't the right way to approach life.

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.

Very true, and I usually get along better with people like this than people who prescribe to an organised religion. I just don't believe/think that way personally.

God asks me very explicitly to learn from and have love for atheism, for science and for all religions, but to adhere to His plan for me over all of them, and He has shown me why, he has even bent the laws of physics just to show me He is the real thing, I (and thus YOU) are the real thing, and this world, this body, the circumstance, is just the simulation.
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.

Honestly, I'm really unsure how to respond to this.
