Religious people please read.

So ive been reading The Revenant, and in the Twenty Third chapter, there is a text that made me pause. [quote]And if Glass believed in a god, surely it resided in this great western expanse. Not a physical presence, but an idea, something beyond man's ability to comprehend, something larger.[/quote] Ive been an atheist all my life and never really understood the concept of religion. "How could anyone believe in a bearded man living in the clouds judging people?" Basically the point of my thread is to ask, is this how you see your religion? As an idea? Not as some bearded man? Im curious. [spoiler]dont mean to piss anyone off, so dont hate me[/spoiler] Edit: Very, very strange fucķing ending.

  • The way I see it, no matter what way you look at it, something must make up those quarks that make up the universe. And whatever makes them up must be made up of something else, and something else, etc. Something—someone—had to make all this; it can't just have all appeared out of nothingness one day on its own. That someone is God, and he created everything, from the subatomic particles that make up your phone to all the specific personality traits of Donald Trump to that deep feeling of love you get when you think about your crush. I have a strong belief that God exists, and that's called faith. I believe that's what the passage is getting at.
