    Citizenschallenge-v.3 replied to the topic God flowing into the Word in the forum Religion and Secularism 3 years, 6 months ago

    Recently it occurred to me that one key to understanding the problem with religion and “god” is appreciating where our gods come from.

    We have two options:

    Believing that God is something that shines down upon you and flows into your being from somewhere out there in the universe.

    Or appreciating that God is something that originates from within your own being.  A product of our human minds processing a reality which is, well, frankly overwhelming and often incomprehensible, thus the human desperation for pat answers and dogmas to relieve us of having to struggle with our thoughts.
