(Belief in God)
Q: –“@curtdoolittle are you an atheist or do you believe in the God of whatever faith you are a part of?”–

I am able to separate my job which is judicial and is extremely uncommon, from my psychological needs which are the same as every other human. I do not find difficulty with this dualism. Most do.

I was raised with familial puritanical church of england ethics in the catholic church and graduated from a private catholic high school taught by Xaverian brothers. I am, like most europeans a synthesis of european and christian traditions. And I see those traditions as european aristocratic vs semitic slave-peasant as do most philosophers. We define our gods as we need to.

As such I am both Pagan: Natural and Ancestor ‘worship’ and christian: extension of kinship love to all.

Personally, I talk to god every day. The difference is I don’t claim I have knowledge of that god’s mode of existence, and I don’t find that god is analogous to any in the abrahamic or other religions (even if closest to Tyr or Zeus). And I don’t submit to that god because in the european aristocratic tradition it is our job to ascend into demigods and gods ourselves. So, my version of god is more of ‘the universe is god and the laws of the universe are his laws and how I discourse with that god is unknown and irrelevant to me.

The result is that the Natural Law is in fact, the will of god or gods or nature, if will it possesses. Otherwise it is just the law of the universe. And I explain that law more so than all in history combined. Because I stand on the shoulders of those great men of history beginning with Aristotle and Democritus. 😉
