I personally believe that there is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe.
But I do not believe in god, nor follow a religion.
Luckily, we're all individuals and I accept people who believe or don't believe in either or both.
Like I was saying earlier, if you do believe there is intelligent life elsewhere or not, it would probably be wise to consider your spite towards God and at least have enough respect for 'anything' greater that may exist, to refer to Him or IT as a proper person place or thing.

I may have read this wrong, but please point out where I refer to "God" as IT or him ?
Do not try to preach to me, as you move outside of what I consider "cool". I'm incredibly tolerant of other people's beliefs but the moment I get preached at, it fades quickly.
I accept you and your choice, it would be gracious to accept mine.

Consider:
What if Human Beings were to learn...
That this "thing" we call our Universe is God?
That everything we see, everything we are, and everything around us, are all living, symbiotic, parts of a conscious energy-being: the Cosmos Itself?
That as our own bodies produce new cells to serve us, the Living Cosmos produces Bacteria, Birds, Bees, Humans, and EBEs, et. al., in Its own image, to serve IT?
That by serving God, we are--by definition--serving ourselves?
That Life itself is the purpose of existence?
And that everthing that is, and ever has been, is really one great, unending, consciousness that we are all meant to enhance in our own unique, but fleeting ways?
...That everything that ever was, is simply: "A Mind that Would be God"?

Thank you.

The hard part is not convincing others that we need to STOP, but that somebody has thought of a way to 'catch' them when they fall.
How do you believe there is a portion of our soul that carries on into another realm of the universe if you do not believe in some sort of superior being? If you do not believe there is nothing greater than yourself, why would you believe there is something else for you after your body no longer exist in the 'physical' world as we see it?

...What you are saying, I believe, is that humanity has become separated from God... That the state of meaning, purpose, and grace that we so long for has become lost.
It is a cruel joke that we play on our own lives;
Little do we accept that separation from God is synonymous with separation from ourselves...
As Yeshua the Christ reminded us, "If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand."
And as John Paul II added, "Separation from God is Hell."
As for the "Cure"(?):
Well, just look above. (To my original post.)
...A new world by a new idiom.
Very powerful medicine.
For me, it all begins right there.
Best wishes,

According to the story you are right, it did.
Unfortunately there are a few religious conflicts that have originated outside of the book, where we live.
