religion is too simple...

I agree, it's meaningless.

As for the universe never being created and always having been around, and then correlating it to "the Universe being God" question......

nice logic trap, ain't falling for it.

Okay, but do you see the double standard there?

Ryanp5555:

our take on the creator's existance is only an interpretation, as is all our observations.
>>>>>>>>we are learning through lessons, getting a better understanding

the limit to our interpretation is the lack of an individuals freewill.

freewill is integral to the ebb and flow of existance.

[[freewill=respect each others observations as much as your own=freewill]]
the way matter is organized in the universe, in the 1st and 2nd and 3rd dimensions, we observe the ebb and flow......
ie;
>>>>>>>>ashes to ashes, dust to dust
>>>>>>>>how a king passes through the entrails of a beggar
>>>>>>>>we are all make of stardust
these are examples of>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>cycles of matter

the compliment to this 'organization' of matter is freewill. they work congruently and reciprocally.

so if you want to prescribe an author to this system, it would be an existance.
the great I AM; a cycle of ebb and flow; love/unity-unity/love.

carefull not to apply a 'snapshot', because life always keeps going on thru time.

hopefully this makes some sense.
