No question about it.
Atheism on the other hand is dogma.
No question about it.
How would you known whether God exist or not if you never use the correct tool to investigate?
You guys keep on relying on physical science as if God would be a physical entity.
That is crazy.
It is by using the correct tool that you can find out and that tool is better known as spirituality or intuitional science.
I do not need a word rooted in superstition to have a feeling of "awe" about any good in life. I can look at a sunset, and have a deep feeling of "wow". I can have that same feeling when my mom tells me she loves me. I can have that same feeling when my cat curls up in my lap and purrs. I can have that same feeling when I think about the size of the universe or how small a quark is. I do not need to call it "spirituality".
That is a bullshit word, because there are also things in life that are extremely powerful that are quite nasty. There are deadly bacteria that can kill the strongest most healthy human. Hurricanes and tornados and volcanos are very destructive, I also have a sense of "awe" in the other direction like "WOW HOLY FUCK".
"Spirituality" is simply another loaded word and a gap filling word from an argument of ignorance. My appreciation for life and nature, good or bad, constructive or destructive is still there.
Your comment is ok with me but not ok for me.
Many years ago i also was floating on that plane.
After sometime that i was on that plane i realized that i was sort of travel
on the first gear so i need to engage into higher gears.
How did i come to that realization?
Simple.
After travel on low gear come natural that it is possible to travel faster.
Why should i stay in low gear all the time when it is possible to engage into
higher gear and go faster?
Cars give you that possibility and so our human nature.
Consciousness can be expanded to infinity until it become one with the infinity
but don't worry about that yet.
As far as you are happy as you are in first gear nobody will force you to go faster.
