What is divinity? please define it concretely. Then define God. Please make sure you are avoiding a circular definition. You're rejecting the definition that Universe is God on the basis that the definition of these two is not compatible, also you say "the Universe is not divine" the definition of the universe is somewhat clear for me. But I don't know what God is. I really don't know. Please define it. I don't know what divine is either, I use it in my conversations, but I think it's a nonsensical word an does not have any actual referent except our neurons activities.
You say you believe but have no idea what god is but suggest it may be the universe.
Most definitions of god have it as some kind of powerful sentient being.
The universe displays none of those characteristics. I may as well call my left testicle the repository of all truth. It may have none of the things in common with a repository of truth but apparently that's good enough for you.
Can I make my left testicle tax-exempt if I make up some bullshit about it too?
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
