> i never understood the notion of some almighty "god". just sounds like a desire to be constantly watched by a higher power. no. your position is both historically and philosophically ill informed. the western concept of god (monotheistic capital g) predates christianity. it is one of the reasons st paul was able to convert the pagan greek philosophers... he told them he came to make known the unknown creator god their philosophy made undeniable. the very nature of logic and pure reason demands that there is a person outside our universe that created and controls it. physicists keep bumping into it with their simulation theories. the mathematician kurt godel proved that if the laws of mathematics are true, god must exist. pic related. the nature of vertical and horizontal causation alone make god necessary. if you try to say they don't exist then you've just destroyed the foundation of logic and mathematics.
