If we look for scientific evidence, there’s none. We don’t see gods physically consuming offerings or intervening in the world in a measurable way. But if we look at psychological and cultural evidence, billions of people across history have experienced something they interpret as divine. So, are gods external forces, or is belief itself creating these experiences? **The Issue of Extinct Gods** If gods were truly immortal, independent forces,... 3 0 replies
Unsure of what to believe in For a long time I’ve felt a close connection to Jesus but I’ve been a Hindu all my life.

At what point does a soul go so low that God must take form to personally end them? i’ve been thinking a lot about the evils and goods in this world. Though i know those who do evil never truly find inner peace if they never change their ways, and that their actions will always have consequences in Karma, i still think about Times were these evils could no longer be allowed to stay and have to be personally taken out by God.
