It's possible, and it's happened. It still happens.

Me, I stay out of most religious discussions because I lose respect for those who actively defend matters such as biblical slavery, genocide, etc. I don't need any more arguments over that sort of stuff to know that like most other humans, theists have the capacity to be shitbags too.

I'd say they go to Church to associate with people who help them build the kind of self they'd like to become.

I agree. The trouble is that the kind of 'self' they'd like to become is typically (although not always) prejudicial, arrogant, and close-minded. Attending religious services doesn't make you a better person, it simply re-enforces the type of person you already are.

Which singularity ? Seriously.

A singularity, by definition, is not "nothing". A proto-universe singularity, by definition, is "everything".

This, however, is total non-sequitur gibberish:

You make several declarative statements here, without even hinting at how you know these things.

RE: Everything is nothing, and nothing is everything.
OP, could you drop this "mystical philosophy" and present the gist of your topic. Ill try to translate it for you, correct me if I'm wrong.

"God is unimaginably awesome!!!And we are part of this awesomeness". And? What next?

The gist of the problems I see with God, is that he needs obedient servants. Such perspective sounds very unattractive to me...

You can't get through a thread without literally saying "lol I'll never stop trolling" or something to that extent.  It's entirely possible to have serious discussions here, just maybe not with you.

It might be, if you could pose a serious question. Your ignorance of the topic screams for you to not be taken seriously.
