My views on God and religion

RE: My views on God and religion
Ahri changes his mind quite often. Whatever answer you get today, if you get one, will likely be different from one you may get tomorrow or next week.

That's OK. I change my mind a lot too.

Indeed, it seems to me that there is no persistence of identity anyway, so I die every second.

The current broadly temporally smeared set of qualia going by ahri is enough for me to entertain myself talking to.

Without details it seems a poor reason to accept the existence of a highly unlikely being.

Huh, that is interesting. I wonder how it would go with god, or the idea behind such a being that is a psychological preposition, being perfect, though.

Still, while I may have been wrong on that, I still think god and all of religion is not compatible with the actual laws of nature, and people do use him as an excuse to not accept reality as it really is.

Open theism posits a changing God. Quite popular amongst a certain set of evangelicals.

Whatever god really is, there sure are a lot of different ideas about such a being to the point that god is inconsistent. Even if god did exist somehow as an actual being, I do not think many, if all people and groups of people describe him accurately or are even close, as by all descriptions I have seen, god seems to appeal to humans more than all of nature itself, if you know what I mean.
