American Atheists Convention

I can kick off what I think. I'm certainly relatively new at believing this so there's probably 1000 ways to "catch" me that I don't have an answer to. i don't study this stuff in depth. Kinda going out on a limb here.

First of all, life is not a test. There is no failing and there is no hell. We can get into an ego-maniacal sadisitic God who needs you to tell Him how awesome he is despite being all-powerful. If you want. We are here to experience. we are here because without dark there is no light. If all you know is bliss, then can you really experience bliss?

We are all one. Literally. But we can choose to experience the illusion of separateness.

Jesus was no different than anyone else except that His (and others) souls are just much more enlightened than ours. I would imagine there are much more advanced civilizations where these souls go when they choose to take a physical form, but they occasionally come to less advanced civilizations to teach.

Those are some basics, and they are very basic. I have a very very simple outline in my head.
