I don't want to do psychedelics anymore because of what I read about the CIA. But when I did I was sure there was a god of some sort and that I couldn't really die.
Being sober it's harder to believe but existence and consciousness seems impossible without it.
The importance of religion is so we don't end up like things are today in the West. And I also believe that there is a power in belief itself.

Yeah there's a bunch of them. My god has a wife, parents and children.

The truth is,
No one is Hindu,
No one is Muslim,
No one is Christian,
No one is jedi,
Every human is made out of clay,
The soul is from God

The Bible is full of accounts where God stepped in on behalf of truth and justice concerning Man. You should read about them.
The Brothers Grimm also wrote some cool stories you should check out.

I believe God is real in the same way I believe the sky is blue. Which is to say I have empirically based evidence suggesting both things may be true, but if I'm not actively looking at God or the sky then I have no beliefs one way or the other. "God is real" and "the sky is blue" were both things I believed equally true at one point or another, but I don't believe (or actively disbelieve!) that they are true.
I have no faith, and that suits me. Neither the faith to believe in God's existence, nor the faith to believe God doesn't exist. If God's real, I really hope he's not the kind who thinks capacity for faith is of the utmost importance. Would be a real shame if everyone got into Heaven except people who weren't entirely credulous.

Yeah this reminds me of the ole "if God is real I wouldn't want to worship him anyway if this is the shit he's cool with allowing to happen to us." It's a fair point tbh fam. Life is full of horrible fates and tragedies that religious folk have to justify as "God can't interfere it's just how it is" while simultaneously balancing "God loves you unconditionally and it's all His plan." Basically God would have to know exactly the outcome of everything that he is creating therefore God knew babies would get horribly raped and went ahead with it anyway. I guess I'm talking more specifically Christianity as I don't enough about any other religion but nonetheless anyone who believes in an all-powerful creator has to rationalize this sort of thing somehow.

Just because there was a God doesn't mean he gives a fuck about you or your happiness, but a lack of religion will result in society that we see today. I don't really see the real "god" as that though.
And when I talk about belief I believe it's good for the individual but I think the belief could give a god power in some way. Maybe the belief gives birth to a consciousness that we know as a god.

Well right and I don't necessarily not believe in a god I'm just talking about the one whose "Word of God" explains that he does in fact care about us and loves us unconditionally (but also won't prevent baby rape)
