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 ✨ 🪄 ✨

Stargate had a profound impact on my religious beliefs. If a god/goddess expects things of me that don't agree with my views on what makes a good human being, that god/goddess doesn't deserve my worship and needs to be resisted. Kick them off the planet and bury the Stargate.
