Been in the church since a jit
Though it was by force, when I became an adult I definitely think I found my own relationship wit him
In good moments I thank the lord, in bad moments I defer to the lord
But idk bruh I done seen bad things happen to a lot of good people and it be feelin like we credit God when something good happens but if something bad happens it’s a sin to question him
This faith shyt be having me at gun point, they tell u that if u deny God he will deny u in the kingdom
Just wanna get opinions see what y’all think
The universe is made of consciousness.
High end quantum physics actually quantifies this factor. The observer changes the outcome of the experiment.
This universal consciousness is not a human. It is not human-like. It is prior to life, it is prior to matter.
You like to imagine a humanoid male in the sky looking down. That's more like Santa Claus than the reality of what we call G-d.
G-d is not your friend. G-d does not care about you in the same way lifeforms care for their children.
Everything good comes from G-d. The air. The water. The happy accidents.
Also. All the bad comes from G-d. War. Disease. Killer meteorites. Random hardships.
What to do? Show respect. Even if G-d doesn't do what you want, you have to still bow down and respect the architect.
Yes. All kinds of things you don't like will happen.
Think of it this way. When a wolf runs down on a rabbit. G-d is the wolf AND the rabbit. For the wolf it's the best day he had all week. For the rabbit it's the worst possible day.
So which one is"right"? Which one is "wrong"?
The rabbit eats. He eats plants. Do the plants want to be eaten? Does being eaten hurt a plant?
You don't know enough to know the ultimate answers. Just do right and pray for mercy in this crazy world.
