[{Vesper}]

Family is Mormon and won’t love me if I’m not so I just have to deal with their shit.
Nobody knows if god is real and nobody will ever know so there is no point in trying

Well it's not him that gave those features, it's biology and science

Like, maybe he exists, but he lets the universe work through science.

And anyways, if God exists, he probably wouldnt care about recessed features. Genesis 1:27: "So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them..." if he created us in his image, he probably doesn't care about how we look like. those are human standards, not biological necessites to survive

I'm not religious. When looking at the universe, history, etc. I agree with atheists, I take a very non religious and non moralistic approach. I also agree with Feuerbach, Marx, Bakunin about why people believe in religion.

However when looking at my own life, there are things much harder to explain, where the simplest explanation might actually be that I am/was blessed or cursed by something external. And definitely a feeling of being guided by destiny and God or gods plural.

I paradoxically take a naturalistic stance and theistic stance at the same time. I believe God set the conditions for the universe to exist and then the order, logic, and science that He created formed the universe and let nature take its way.

You could say that's deistic but I don't believe that, because I think he created humans for a reason, so naturally he would have some intervention in human affairs. And I believe Jesus Christ could actually have been then "Son of Man."

Anyways, it's not crazy to think you're being guided. Every single human being on Earth leaned towards the existence of a being superior to us. That's how all these religions came (first tribal gods, then paganism, then monotheism...). I believe there has to be a reason for that natural pull.

The set conditions thing is a very good argument, both the universe itself and my life have set conditions, this has been made clear to me over and over again. I can't say what or who set these conditions though, I like saying I don't know, I like the mystery.

You can be an atheist or agnostic and still "believe" in Jesus. He wouldn't have needed to be a prophet or anything supernatural to be the perfect teacher and him (or Muhammad or Buddha) have proven their influence and the power of belief ever since. Believing in something, then having it impact your life and the lives of others, that makes it real.
