IMO Atheist and Religious people have something in common. That is faith. The atheist can use logic and reason to conclude the unlikely existence of a GOD . However in the end, there is no factual evidence to denounce or prove that God exists or doesn't exists, so it boils down to faith (either you believe or don't believe.)
The God in the sense of how religion describes him,her,it,etc is nonsense to me. However, as far as I know there is no laws in physics that backs the creation of something out of nothing. What started the Big Bang, what existed before that , what was the first thing that existed?
My inability to comprehend how something comes from nothing and our limited scientific knowledge of how the first thing came to exist (not just this universe nor the big bang) , I can't even imagine what is out their beyond our current comprehension?
Hence I can't truly begin to exclude the possibility of a creator with 100% certainty. Hence a leap of faith needs to be made whether a creator exists or not IMO.
What I have find of interest and help me develop a glimpse of what I belive might exist before or after our existence:
1. Energy can't be destroyed nor created. We are energy hence I feel we will be transformed into another form of energy.
2. All living things share one thing in common, hence I think it might have something to do with the big picture. All living things have THEIR OWN unique experiences.
The rest is imagination assuming our law of physics or my understanding of them is accurate.
Perhaps we take those unique experiences and dump it into a universal energy bin and we get recycled. But who started or created the universal energy bin? Always boils down to the initial start of something from nothing.
Got to go but I will leave it at that.

I went mad for awhile with Revelations, I am sure Jesus was a real person just with the miracles and everything just a little pessimistic never seeing anything supernatural in my own life. Second line.

That would feel like looking for a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow to me.
If god was real I still would not seek him/her, but the reasons for that would get disrespectful, and I like to be humorous without offending.
