He talks about god

When people ask me about my religion, I just say Christian. I just say Christian because I never really feel like talking about religion in general. A church divided is no church at all, and there are so many sub-cultures here that it's just daunting. Honestly, it's like high school. Just like it. I believe in God. I believe in doing good. I don't believe in organization of those beliefs. I also believe that in doing so, we lose touch of what it really means to believe. Sit, kneel, pray, tell me your sins, and so forth. When we die, we don't go to heaven, or hell. We are recycled.

"oh, so you believe in reincarnation?" No, no and no. That too is structured, based on how good of a life you led. I do not believe in reincarnation. I believe in recycling.

God has no gender. I don't like seeing it labeled as one or the other. Mythology. If science were able to prove the EXACT reason for the big bang, then I would no longer believe in God. As it currently stands, we cannot. We are close, but that doesn't get you the cigar. God has no gender, nor does God exist on this plane. Considering God is a being of great metaphysical ability, God chose to CREATE the spark. God chose to create the explosion of atoms that eventually created us all.

Structuring beliefs and the evolution of the human mind has driven us away from the simple fact that we are all of the same spark. We are all the same. The computer I type this on, the blanket covering me, the bed I am lying in, etc. All of this is me. Individuality has blinded a lot of us. This makes me sad. Blind blind blind.

Recycling. When we die, religious burial rights aside, our bodies do eventually become nutrients for the earth. The same atoms that created a human become something else, perpetuating the chain reaction of Gods initial spark.

I thank the bible, because without it I would not have understood God. I do not advocate it. The bible is just a bedtime story used to make sense of things we used to not understand. Earthquakes, tidal waves, etc. were once called acts of God. We now understand the cause of them.

Yes, my view of God has the ability to do these things at will. But, my view of God has no emotion towards us--this collective of star dust, as it were--because really why should God care? If you had the ability to create an entire universe, and likely, many others similar parallel to ours, would you care about a speck? I know I would not.

Understanding the unification of the entire universe within us brings us closer to God, I believe. God created the spark, it came from God, so it can be said that WE came from God. WE are God.

And that, is what I believe in. I believe everything is God. All of it. There is nothing to be afraid of; we are all God's brilliance.

You said it better than me. I've argued the point that God created the spark so many times but people never want to accept it as an answer. They insist it being one or the other.
