I don't believe at all in a god as a single, judgemental being. That was simply a construct of the human mind first in an effort to explain things we didnt understand, second, eventually to control people via fear. I do believe there is something beyond us. And I do believe that we all return to that something after we are done here in the physical world. I envision it as more of a conciousness or energy field for lack of a better description.....not a single sentient supernatural being. That may surprise some on here who know me. But my problem is more with the belief in a religious construct, not in the belief of something after death. I strongly believe religion has separated us, and given us reasons to be divided. When in fact we should realize we are all part of the same whole, and in hurting others, you are really hurting yourself since they are a part of you on some level.

I'm a Christian, but I'm on board with this.
I don't think any religion has it totally figured out.
I actually think we all worship the same God/Entity, but are vain enough to taylor our perception to our own selfish desires.
We need to stop focusing on differences and switch to " The Bill and Ted Religion".
Just be excellent to each other !
