No worries, but I don't think that the edit addresses my questions so much as reinforces them. I'm not asking you anything about a god, but your responses refer to them at every point, leading me to posit that you are defending god (or, more accurately, your god beliefs) rather than being open minded about our respective positions on the soul forge.
It's conceivable that a god exists, and life is not a soul forge, wouldn't you agree? If we can agree to that, then no comment about whether life is or isn't a soul forge (or what kind of soul forge it is, if it is) has any necessary implications for your god or your god beliefs. I get why you believe in god - you had an experience. Why do you believe in the soul forge, what experience about a soul forge have you had, and what does (or can) your experience tell you about the soul forge?
