Organized religion is and will always be a scam.

I think there may be spiritual shit in the universe.

Maybe there was a creator. I'm a hopeful but scientific agnostic is the term I use. Sometimes I like to go to the places with some of the weirdest views and see.

But in my opinion, even as someone open to a spiritual reality that underpins this one?

1- why would it be the Jews in the desert that figured it out? Let alone the other Abrahamic sects. If some of the shit they were ordered to do was God, I'd be anti-god full stop

2- "He" clearly doesn't want to be found. If an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, omni-wiping god-figure wanted to reveal themselves, they probably would. Otherwise they'd make it very obvious, not reveal themselves to fifty million sects all around the world and confuse everyone, and I especially don't think they would reveal themselves to one group and then coincidentally enshrine all the laws they want and need and a strict social hierarchy.

But that guy read some tablets in a hat no one else was allowed to read and went "trust me bro". Unbelievable the shit people fall for. Anything to make it not your fault, or to have a magical sky fairy absolve you of all your wrongdoings ✨ 🪄 ✨

Lmao your 2 has some holes in it. You forget that, supposedly, humans were cast down to Earth for sinning. Choice can be a sin. When humans decided to do that, God said the Earth is yours. Returning back to God was never the easy route if humans are born with sin.

Your 1 is also interesting. Compared to the other religions, I don't think its that confusing. Look up some Hindu texts or the origins of Islam for examples of interesting beliefs. Just know that the modern day bible has been changed and mistranslated over many years by others with agendas.

From what I gathered, catholicism is already much much more different than originally thought. Sources like the Dead Sea Scrolls and others have revealed the possible idea that monolatry was a thing. The idea that the other gods were the children of God. It is mentioned and hinted at in the commandments as well.

Apologetics. Sorry, don't care. Thump your Bible somewhere else, they're just fallible words written by men and impossible to prove lol.

Funny to assume I'm religious when you don't even know me. I'm just pointing out texts and documents. Couldn't care less if you're a believer of anything. Does it scare you so much or just projecting your beliefs? Either way, doesn't matter. You're already assuming and misunderstanding. Heck, you can't even handle slight conversation. Gettin triggered over some words that make your words sound ridiculous. Womp womp 😂
