I didn't mean to sound disrespectful or like I was making fun of your beliefs/opinions so sorry if I came accross as that, it wasn't my intention. I very much believe in God, I have my issues with religion but that's a whole other story. I didn't think it was disrespectful... I just got carried away talking about it.

I don't believe that the physics of our universe can be altered by the supernatural, but do believe that everything is informed by the supernatural power of God. I guess this makes me a panentheist. The strongest logical argument for God I know of is that of primum movens - the unmoved mover. Atheists believe that things are in motion without there ever being a first moving thing. For me God is that thing - a force outside of time and space, and the tissue that connects everything (within and beyond our physical universe). Besides this argument, there's just belief, which can't be argued, though explained to some extent. I think the arts try to do that (in many, though not all cases - like atheist literature, lol). The arts are my religious praxis, and I have an aversion to any sort of dogmatic thinking, whether religious or otherwise. Most (if not all) atheist thinking presents a reductive view of religion, and it's a slog to wade through so many arguments made in bad faith when reading through it. I respect a simple lack of belief in God, though. Broadly this, in fewer words I think there are simply some things we cannot explain and so many things about the world we don't and will never understand that I feel there is more likely to be something much bigger than not Not religious, yet broadly spiritual, and respectful of everyone's beliefs or lack of

Yes. I think the anthropic principle, consciousness, and design are too hard to explain away otherwise
I am also religious, but I do not think that mine is "the one true path". It's just the way I personally connect to God - there may be others.
