I certainly don't believe in the "old white guy in robes" God of my catholic youth or smoteing types . Yet I often can't help but feel a connectedness, a "Spirit of the Universe" "Deist" or even "Force be with you" out there. I am closest to this force in nature.

BTW, thanks Polly, this turned out to be a pretty cool topic.

I'm this morning reading Is There a Physical Reality to God? and how God revealed Himself to Moses, Exodus 33. But He hasn't revealed Himself to me. Perhaps reason gets in the way.

Read Stewart's Nature's God about some of the founders and the roots of their beliefs in Epicureanism.

We essentially exist via magic. Either the magic of a being who can create out of nothing. Or the magic of matter that existed outside of time and just blew up one day. Or some other equally unlikely explanation . Yet here we are. Or are we?

Hard right Christian independent. I think most republicans are weak minded or double minded and can't stand the left.
