I have never had serious thoughts about religion till now.
I am a little confused if I should ever take it seriously - i like the serenity religious institutions provide - the artwork - the quiet comfort - but dislike the brainwashing and scams.
Would love to know how the community got started with this.
I like religious art and spaces – in fact in undergrad I wrote my final thesis on Spanish depictions of religious visions in the 17th Century – but I don’t have any faith personally. I’m 33 now but at 25 I felt similarly. I suppose I’m technically a hard agnostic since I don’t think it is possible to prove or disprove the existence of God.

Just think. We are four dimensional consciousness with the ability to project a small part of our will into this third dimension. We put ourselves here, likely countless times, simultaneously, across space and time. Our four dimensional consciousness is too vast for a three dimensional existence so we are left to wonder without the capacity to process our larger truth.
