We all began as star stuff, for sure.

My God is I am, so that makes my god a human, just as yours likely is, even if yourself.

I am a naturalist and Gnostic Christian. A naturalist view is basically what the bible tries to teach. Start at it's Chrestian roots and see the truth in this. Their highest ideal of good was a person.

Modern Gnostic Christians name our god "I am", and yes, we do mean ourselves.

You are your controller. I am mine. You represent and present whatever mind picture you have of your God or ideal human, and so do I.

The name "I Am" you might see as meaning something like, --- I think I have grown up thanks to having forced my apotheosis through Gnosis and meditation and “I am”, represents the best rules and laws that we have found to live by.

In Gnostic Christianity, we follow the Christian tradition that Christians have forgotten that they are to do. That is, become brethren to Jesus.

That is why some say that the only good Christian is a Gnostic Christian.

Here is the real way to salvation that Jesus taught.

Matthew 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Allan Watts explain those quotes in detail.

Joseph Campbell shows the same esoteric ecumenist idea in this link.

The bible just plainly says to put away the things of children. The supernatural and literal reading of myths.

and yet it was written 'each would become a lover of his own ways' as if that were not a good idea...

SoulSeeker,
It seems you are aligned with the Elohist viewpoints.

No god.
Of course there is a creative force. One could call it creator which we are all connected to and part of.

@ soul seeker — I couldn’t agree more with you, thoughts are good choices from bible verses too doctrine the argument.

Correct me if I'm wrong...it seems you don't think much of this god,
if you can't honor Him, Her, It with a capital letter, yet, you can for the Big Bang.

a being of such great intelligence and awareness we can't even imagine it in anyway but when you catch the tiniest glimpse of it, of just the tiniest corner or speck of it, you are in complete awe.

This is what honoring looks like. Beautiful.

Why, my God looks just like me.

I saw him drive by with his hair blowing in the wind in a white, convertible Cadillac with Elvis and Michael Jackson sitting in the back seat playing cards. It looked like they were playing a modified version of Faro.

When they stopped at the stop light, you could see it was them. When the light changed, a cloud of smoke overtook them when the "petal was hit to the metal" so you could not see them very good.
