@freemo I'm an atheist myself, but I've come to the conclusion that there's people that need some kind of spirituality and some that don't. So I'd say this quote applies to the former type of persons.

@cm @freemo While I personally do not believe in God as defined by human religion, and do not believe such a creator deity exists, I am willing to at least humor the idea that there may be a 'something more' to our existences that we have yet to discover.

@Surasanji I've never been a fan of focusing on the word god in any meaningful way.

@cm

@freemo @Surasanji @cm curious what your perspective is re: God (I'm a new member, but I promise I am not trolling just trying to get to know people)

@jonpemby I think god is the last thing people should talk about in religion. It shouldnt be a question of any value that enters anyones mind. As someone once put it, if god is everything then he is unknowable without knowing everything, therefore god would be the last thing you learn in an infinite existance.

@Surasanji @cm

@freemo @Surasanji @cm interesting perspective, but what is the point of religion if not the pursuit of knowledge of the divine?

@Surasanji @freemo In that regard, I'd probably describe myself as agnostic -- in the sense that if we cannot know, there is no point (for me) in thinking about it; I'm content to accept reality as it is.
