    We can’t know. And that’s fine.

    Whatever started the physical process that created us is pretty fucking crazy. I bet it’s a simulation.

    So many people in this thread were traumatized from church lol. God isn’t inherently a bad or stupid idea… just depends on how you define God.

    I believe in me. You are all being perceived by me. And anything I cannot perceive is not in the realm of existence.

    No, but I don’t want to rule it out completely. I there is, it’s probably nothing like anyone has every thought about. There’s a lot about the universe we don’t know. I think it’s a bit foolish to claim for certain things when we know so little about the universe. One day, it might be possible to measure the soul with scientific equipment, and future people may look back on us and think, “Wow, they actually believed they were only organic, not even realizing they have a quantum soul,” the same way we look back at people who thought the earth was the center of the universe.

    The world is a complicated place, and what we say now may look foolish or ahead of its time 100 years from now.

      Agreed, well said. This train of thought is why I’ve never been able to identify as an atheist.
