Yeah - that's what I thought at first. But then I remembered Little Rik... This here reads exactly like what Rik would be posting, if he could express himself in words, rather than emoji and fart noises...

The universe exists just fine without any God interfering.
Adding an extra agent into the mix is unnecessarily complex and achieves nothing other than to act as a security blanket for those who need one.
Nobody is capable of dishing out afterlives, irrespective of what you want to call him, sorry...
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

Also, if god is everything - is he/she/it also things you hate? And if so - does that mean you hate god?
What about Satan? Is a fallen angel a state of being? Seems like it is - so god must be Satan...
Word-games are fun.
Bullshit is a moment in which you think a thing is such, you are expressing a state of disbelief, thats all.
Made up or fiction in the sense of your imagination? Since science is slowly discovering that the brain doesn't create consciousness, then that implies matter is the expression of the mind. Consciousness is what the mind can grasp. If you like i can link you to a case where a neurosurgeon went into a coma for a week, lost the function of his [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefrontal_cortex][/url]prefrontal cortex and most of his brain and still had awareness he described vividly as ultra-real, more real this this reality
You can hate yourself at times, apply that to god. Easy isnt it ^^
Satan is biblical. You know i dont think any of you are in any way aware that there are religions outside Christianity. In no way do i believe what books about god say, they're irrelevant, period. Satan is a character from a book. Religion is not the only belief that's worth discussing just because when you think god in the west, you think Jesus. However whether you belief in god or not, you're still correct in being an athiest or jew or what ever because when you die, you wake up to it all anyway in another dimension. What proof of this is there?

I do have some new evidence, I'm not sure if it helps this case or not.
There's a bird outside my door which keeps singing a little ditsy which sounds eerily like a snippet from Balrog's music, 0:37 - 0:40
It's done it several times today. It can't be a coincidence, and I've heard it sing like this before. Has it heard me humming? Is it birdy Balrog? Is it taunting me? What's going on!

Once you find that the material does not confine consciousness, but is only a mechanism for consciousness to flow and experience through, only then does it become obvious that the universe is an ocean of thought

Ok...at this point, I'm gonna go ahead and reject your definition of god. It is vague, useless, and dishonest, and it does not comport with how experts or laymen use that word. You're basically a pantheist, and if everything is god, then effectively nothing is. The Universe is just the Universe. There is no need to call it god, and the only reason you're doing that is in an attempt to assign your personal god's qualities to the Universe. If you want me to believe the Universe thinks, can talk to me, has a plan for me, then I'll need to see some evidence. Until then, you're just asserting things.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)

I have the feeling this one is not even worth talking to. Not telling you what to do OFC. Perhaps there are others reading that may get something from it, I guess.

Hmm so the universe is sentient? That means my pet rock is also sentient seeing as it is a part of the universe right? Please demonstrate it's sentience and then we can move on to the universe.
