Thank you for your honesty. And that you took the time out of your day to respond to me.
Now I don't want to come across as pushy or condescending. Since you already know scripture. I need to have faith that if you are a seeker you will find fundamental goodness on your own.
I just want to tell you my perspective. If you care to hear it:
This "***ed up and hateful being" that you're describing did give us a perfect world right from the start (garden of eden). It was us humans that rejected it and Him (the forbidden fruit). We chose strife and suffering instead of paradise. Now, you don't need to take the Bible as literal to still accept the message.
We constantly do what we know to be wrong towards eachother, instead of doing what we know to be right. But then we place the blame on God for our own wrongdoings. Just like how Adam blamed Eve for decieving him instead of accepting responsibility for doing what he knew to be wrong.
And since Jesus is God we can glean some insight to Gods true nature. When He walks the earth He eases suffering, heals the sick, teaches wisdom and asks God the Father to forgive those who torture Him to death. All the while suffering so humanity won't have to.
I have looked into other belief systems throughout my life, and I hope to look into more. That is something that interests me. I have meditated aswell. Always did after work.
But now I see how horrible we all are towards eachother at the slightest opportunity, and how far we can go. Me aswell. That is something I think about when we "find spirituality within", as I truly believe we are fallen creatures. And what is within is dark. Enlightenment from within will lead us to dark places, while wrapped in light and righteousness.
While Jesus our Lord told us to love our enemies and to forgive our brothers and sisters who wrongs us when they ask, whenever they ask. No matter how many times they fail us, even in a single day.
I have thought in material and worldy terms for nearly thirty years and, in my own arrogance, believed that I know better. But now I am glad that a loving and forgiving being is at a leading position of all creatures in existence.
And no matter where your path in life takes you, sincerely, may you feel the Lords love.
