I see you laugh a lot... that's good... that's healthy.
Now, onto the meat of the matter...
You claim the Universe is sentient. And this sentient Universe is what was originally intended to be god, but the message was conveyed in such a skewed, metaphorical way that this meaning became lost, even for those who believe in a god.
I see you quote the christian bible a lot... does the same apply for other so-called holy books?
The hindu religion(s) has(have) a pantheon of gods... how does that fit with the "god is the sentient universe" notion of yours?
Same for ancient Sumerian... the one that was the actual birthplace of the Yahweh myth... How does that work?
Also, do you have any evidence of that universal sentience?
Good grief you guys READ what I wrote...
I am saying the DEFINITION of God is NOT OURS TO MAKE. IT IS THE AUTHORS
by asking me if the Universe is sentient you are indicating you do not understand what i am saying.
I am saying the WORD GOD is the ANTHROPOMORPHIZING of the UNIVERSE as defined by the AUTHORS of RELIGIOUS TEXTS.
I BELIEVE the Universe is alive yes. I can see life popping out all over the place to me it is ridiculous to assert otherwise.
Can you prove it is dead? lol
What you have brought up is the ONLY valid argument on the God topic.
Is he ALIVE or NOT?
Because we all know what EVERYTHING means.
Now see it ALL (even whatever may or may not have created it) as ONE and ALIVE and be GRATEFUL FOR IT and you WILL see the LORD thy GOD before you. And laugh harder than you ever have in your life.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!
Jeremiah 23:23-24
“Am I a God who is near,” declares the LORD, “And not a God far off? “Can a man hide himself in hiding places So I do not see him?” declares the LORD “Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?”
Proverbs 15:3
The eyes of the LORD are in every place, Watching the evil and the good.
Acts 17:27-28
that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His children.’
Zephaniah 3:17
“The LORD your God is in your midst, A victorious warrior He will exult over you with joy, He will be quiet in His love, He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.
1 Corinthians 14:25
the secrets of his heart are disclosed; and so he will fall on his face and worship God, declaring that God is certainly among you.
Revelation 5:13
And every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying, “To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.”
2 Chronicles 2:6
“But who is able to build a house for Him, for the heavens and the highest heavens cannot contain Him? So who am I, that I should build a house for Him, except to burn incense before Him?
get it?
God is EVERYWHERE because God is EVERYTHING.
is he alive?
look outside...is the cup half full or half empty?

How could we have been so blind?
God IS the REALITY before you.
Are you REALLY here?
If not then I would get why you feel that REALITY does not exist.
Yet It DOES.
how indeed can you be so blind?
