Dear Tom, Thank you for sharing your thoughts — something tells me we all have similar thoughts from time to time.
The older I become the more difficult it is to believe in a God-person on a Throne. This God-person would be throusands of years old — here’s where religion loses me.
What is easier to believe is God is an Energy with intellectual intelligence, alluded to in Einstein’s Theory of Relativity E = MC2.
By breaking down a subatomic particle to its original source you find Pure Vibrating Light (energy) the source of everything.
This, I believe, is what people who experience out-of-body or near-death-experiences tap into and return with stories of a feeling of pure Love.
Being one who has had near-death-experience this is as close as I can come to explaining it. I can tell you it is powerful!
