I think there are pretty good odds for a god not to exist.
Don’t get me wrong, religion is an interesting and important piece of the puzzle that is culture. I just dislike the way Christians present their religion. Believing in an “omniscient” and “omnipotent” but “forgiving” deity who forgives you for your “sins.” I doubt a god exists, though it is barely possible. I’m thinking there is a higher chance of getting struck by 100 lightning bolts at the same time at best. God cannot be human, as humans are not immortal and all-powerful. If god isn’t human, what are they? They would need to be an alien species that somehow developed in perfect conditions and environment to become aware and conscience, likely on a different planet millions of light years away. On top of this small chance, this species would need to be immortal and all. Not possible. We humans can barely even comprehend the concept of infinity, much less live for one, and we are very very lucky to exist at all. Also, if a god did miraculously exist, they would not be forgiving in any situation I can think of. Don’t have a use for humans? Trashed. Humans are dangerous? Extinction. Humans are fun? Maybe they’ll have fun with us, but they won’t forgive someone for murdering their next-door neighbor, much less care about it at all. Souls also just don’t exist. You can’t have a personality, feel emotions, see, hear, think, or even just exist outside of your physical body because the physical body contains physical versions of everything that a soul is. Souls do not just carry around their bodies, as the bodies remain on earth. After death, everything just goes blank. Not even pure darkness, just blank. We can’t see, we don’t keep memories, we don’t reincarnate, don’t exist in anything more than a few people’s memories, which will eventually fade. Heaven and hell also wouldn’t be created without their sovereign deities to create them. Idk what else to say, I just suddenly exploded with these thoughts yesterday and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it 😅. #religion
