for the longest time i was an agnostic, but my image of god is now complete. i now have a clear picture of god, and while it doesn't have full overlap with the god as imagined by most world religions, it is compatible with mainstream science and the civic mindset. it's also quite disappointing to anyone expecting something mindblowing.

rather than telling you right away, i'm willing to answer 20 questions with yes/no/irrelevant instead.

@lritter [being part of god] do we perceive reality via god [as in, reality does not exist outside of god]

@lvk that's two questions. the first one: yes. the second one: no, reality does exist outside of god.

@lvk i clarified my answer. do you still believe i'd like them?

@lritter maybe. although its generally more exciting to philosophize in these things yourself. Having that said, there have been many people before you trying to integrate all possible views (wilbers AQAL does a fairly good job at it)

@lvk i didn't integrate all possible views. my version of god is limited

@lritter sounds cool, there's freedom in limitation
