The notion of God remains philosophically potent, if empirically elusive. Reasonable people reach opposite conclusions because the available evidence underdetermines any single verdict; the weight one assigns to explanatory depth, moral experience, and personal encounter will tilt the balance. The question therefore persists not only as an intellectual problem but as an existential decision that shapes how one inhabits the world.

While reasonable people can hold different beliefs, the weight of evidence and the logical coherence of arguments are not equally distributed. To suggest that the evidence "underdetermines" a verdict is to ignore the significant body of scientific and philosophical reasoning that strongly favors naturalistic explanations and finds no compelling reason to posit a deity.

Most monotheistic religions, such as Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, traditionally describe God as omnibenevolent (all-good), omnipotent (all-powerful), and omniscient (all-knowing). The "problem of evil" arises when trying to reconcile these attributes with the undeniable presence of evil and suffering in the world.

I don't believe in any religion I've found till now, but I do believe there has to be some kind of God or primeval force/entity that started all of this shit and I want to have a conversation with that fag after I die.

it's pretty easy to resolve these questions intellectually, but not in an emotionally satisfying way.

The fault is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings.

Evil doesn't exist, we're just retarded. We perceive evil in the world because we are limited. Evil is by definition impossible.

The First Source and Center functions outside of Havona in the phenomenal universes as follows:

1. As creator, through the Creator Sons, his grandsons.

2. As controller, through the gravity center of Paradise.

3. As spirit, through the Eternal Son.

4. As mind, through the Conjoint Creator.

5. As a Father, he maintains parental contact with all creatures through his personality circuit.

6. As a person, he acts directly throughout creation by his exclusive fragments—in mortal man by the Thought Adjusters.

7. As total Deity, he functions only in the Paradise Trinity.

If this were only a material universe, material man would never be able to arrive at the concept of the mechanistic character of such an exclusively material existence. This very mechanistic concept of the universe is in itself a nonmaterial phenomenon of mind, and all mind is of nonmaterial origin, no matter how thoroughly it may appear to be materially conditioned and mechanistically controlled.

The partially evolved mental mechanism of mortal man is not overendowed with consistency and wisdom. Man’s conceit often outruns his reason and eludes his logic.

The very pessimism of the most pessimistic materialist is, in and of itself, sufficient proof that the universe of the pessimist is not wholly material. Both optimism and pessimism are concept reactions in a mind conscious of values as well as of facts. If the universe were truly what the materialist regards it to be, man as a human machine would then be devoid of all conscious recognition of that very fact. Without the consciousness of the concept of values within the spirit-born mind, the fact of universe materialism and the mechanistic phenomena of universe operation would be wholly unrecognized by man. One machine cannot be conscious of the nature or value of another machine.

If man is only a machine, by what technique does this man come to believe or claim to know that he is only a machine? The experience of self-conscious evaluation of one’s self is never an attribute of a mere machine. A self-conscious and avowed mechanist is the best possible answer to mechanism. If materialism were a fact, there could be no self-conscious mechanist. It is also true that one must first be a moral person before one can perform immoral acts.

The very claim of materialism implies a supermaterial consciousness of the mind which presumes to assert such dogmas. A mechanism might deteriorate, but it could never progress. Machines do not think, create, dream, aspire, idealize, hunger for truth, or thirst for righteousness. They do not motivate their lives with the passion to serve other machines and to choose as their goal of eternal progression the sublime task of finding God and striving to be like him. Machines are never intellectual, emotional, aesthetic, ethical, moral, or spiritual.

If its possible God exists (it is possible, the existence of God has never been conclusively proven to be an impossibility), then one should seek to experience that God.

Jesus? Shiva? Something else? Shakti? Sophia? I've had experiences of all these things. Nothing blows my mind, nothing of this world surprises me or entertains me. The only thing that gives me fulfillment is this experience of plurality of something divine. Why would it take so many roles? What the fuck am I supposed to make of this?

In my empire you would be impaled for using something as profane as language to enquire into the nature of the divine. God is every word at once at yet that describes only a single hydrogen atom in the reactor-sun that is God.

God is not belief, dogma or imaginary.

God is what you get when you reach the end of thought and contemplation.

God is the what you get when you reach the end of philosophy.

God is the only explanation for existence.

You have to experience this to understand.
