It's long but worth the read when you get the chance. Perhaps as toilet reading lol.
Are you saying I'm full of shit
Not at all!
I actually thought it was an interesting article. The article seemed to describe what you were saying when you said "When you 'feel' god I truly believe you are feeling your 'higher self' if you want to call it that. God, the voice in your head, is simply another idealized version of you as a perfect, moral, loving being." It talks about each one of us having a higher self that gets clouded by animalistic instincts and such.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
