Religion Sky daddy! Why or why not and the greater implications about reality and the afterlife!!!

Good evening!

A Prayer Before We Begin

In the name of Jehovah, Lord of Hosts, Architect of the Sky and Keeper of the NEETbux Ledger

Bless the NEETs, that their bux may arrive on time and their basements stay cool in summer.

Bless the incels, that they may find peace before they find a partner, and peace after too, whichever comes first.

Bless the lookmaxxers, that their mewing be strong, their skincare routine consistent, and their bone structure ever improving in the eyes of the Lord and the mirror alike.

Bless the stock traders, that their candles be green, their diamond hands be steady, and their portfolios survive what their sleep schedules could not.

Bless every anon reading this in the dark at whatever hour their timezone has cursed them with, he lurkers, the shitposters, the true believers, and the ones just here for the bit.

May we argue in good faith tonight, or at least in entertaining faith. May the thread not get closed before someone says something truly deranged. And may Sky Daddy, whether He exists, doesn't exist, or exists and is simply screening our calls, forgive us for what we're about to post.

Amen. Now let's talk about God.

Come into this shelter and shed your burdens @Wolfstorm !

Lament your grievances against the cross and our father in heaven!

Tell us how you have been wrong in your life and we will grieve together!

What is everyone's take on what happens after death?

I would be excited to hear everyone's view points from secular to reglion off all.

I would prefer you explained your personal thoughts on the matter rather then explain something you have read. The more personal the account the better.

I have a bit of a quantum idea of death, judgment and what "heaven" is and the relationship with God.

To put it simply I don't fully believe that I or almost anyone is going to heaven.

The floor is open to all topics of religion.

Try and keep it to personal beliefs.

I think one big issue many people have is assuming that God is an entity, or a 'person'. God is the energy source. The permanent origin of it. He makes up everything in physical reality because it's His bubble that He interacts with from the outside. He influences physical reality through manipulating the medium itself. This is part of why Jews have such a hard time with the 'Son' terminology when talking about Jesus. This is encoded in the name/concept Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh. It means "I AM THAT I AM." It's in direct response to a question of identity, and rather than provide a name, God replies in a concept. I am that I am. He just is. There isn't another descriptor. He is not an entity, 'He' really isn't even a 'He' in the traditional senses that we would think. The masculine part of God is the hardcoded parts of the universe. Logics, Laws of Physics and Nature, Math, etc. And often that is the part that we interact with most of the time. We get nudges, logical conclusions. If you pay attention God will let you know He's paying attention to you through subtle and specific signs. I can articulate what I have seen usually, which I suppose often avoids the schizophrenia/religious psychosis angle but I can understand not everyone might be able to.
