I am number 2. In support of the above, I thought of another example. This is a real story. A ship sinks in the middle of the ocean. Several people managed to escape on a lifeboat. They stay on the boat for days, but salvation never comes. They begin to thirst wildly, but they have no drinking water, no food. They cannot drink ocean water because it is salty and - who does not know - causes painful death due to the excessive amount of salt it causes in the body. After 3-4 days, people are so thirsty that they reconcile. At one point in their despair, spontaneously, almost without even realizing it, they begin to pray and imagine that the water is actually sweet. Then one of the shipwrecked people could not resist the temptation and decided to drink ocean water. And he is surprised to find that the water around them is sweet. Then everyone gets drunk and saves themselves. After a few more days, they were rescued. Then they tell the story, but no one believes them. Scientists are showing interest and starting research. There is actually no trace of salt in their bodies. Then they start experimenting with the structure of water molecules. Water is actually made up of groups of molecules. After experiments, they see visually with special microscopes how the molecular structure of water changes as a result of the thoughts and feelings of others. Those who do not believe, there are pictures of water molecular groups on the net, can check. When people around the water experience positive emotions, when they pray, the groups become like crystals, transparent, beautiful, symmetrical, like snowflakes. When they experience negative emotions, the groups become shapeless, black or brown, ugly. Another piece of evidence that our emotions, our feelings, our isles are not only in us, but they radiate energy around, affect matter. And the other thing I wanted to say is that religion is often misunderstood by people, so today it divides more than it brings people together, but it's because of people, not religions. In the beginning, religions were created to teach us a healthy life (fasting), humility, kindness, understanding, compassion, respect, mutual aid. Another issue is that it is used as a means of manipulation by politicians, priests, terrorists, mobsters and others. Examples: Cosa Nostra and others. criminal unions, sometimes the church, some sects, terrorist organizations, some Roman emperors, the media, and so on. that religion is often misunderstood by people, so today it divides more than it brings people together, but it is because of people, not because of religions.

I fully support you, you don't have to believe. I also haven't read the Bible, I haven't been to church, and I don't agree with many things that are preached to us. But I've been quite interested in the subject, and I'm telling you that claiming you don't believe "that there is a MAN in HEAVEN who created you" is ridiculous, because you take things too literally and that's why it seems like a joke. The guilt is as much in you as it is in the way religions serve it. But there are supernatural forces (I know that, not because "it's accepted") and you have to be blind not to believe in them, or at least not to assume that the world around us is not just matter. We are not biorobots with artificial intelligence, but we are also a material reflection of certain energies. If you don't believe so much, read a little about science. You trust her. Read a little about quantum physics and you will understand that matter is in fact an illusion and practically does not exist. According to the latest experiments, atoms do not even behave like matter, but like waves of energy. And this is not a theory, but scientifically proven facts. This energy is influenced by the electromagnetic energy, which is released mainly by the heart during the manifestation of feelings. And when, as a result of feelings and emotions, the heart begins to release huge amounts of energy (and this can be measured with instruments), a change begins in this energy, which builds atoms and from there reflects on a material level. There was even an experiment. A woman was praying to God while she was dying. Then they measured the strength of the electromagnetic waves that were emitted. And they were so strong that the device did not have such a wide scale to reflect, and the arrow collided at the end of the scale. In reality, intensity cannot be measured, because we do not have such devices at the moment. Such waves are able to pass through the entire universe. This is the scientific explanation of these forces, in case you like the story of the white-bearded old man watching you from the sky. But everything is true, albeit presented metaphorically and veiled in symbolism. But you have to have a certain spiritual level to understand the essence. It may not be as it is described in the Bible, but to claim that there is no power at all is ridiculous, because we are not self-created after all. That's why you can't convince your mother, because she's more mature than you. I am not saying that blind believers are arched and understand things. Their faith is not knowledge, but artificially planted by society. They are not right, but neither are you. If you accept it blindly, you deny it blindly. It is the same, it is always ignorance. You don't think, you don't think, and you just accept by default. But you know, no one can blame you for that because you haven't reached that level. This is part of the universe. You only understand it when the time comes. It's like accusing a freshman of being stupid because he doesn't understand higher math. These things aren't written like that, if someone didn't have a job and said to themselves, "Let me write some nonsense now." This is knowledge accumulated over millennia. Some things are inexplicable for the authors themselves and that is why they wrote them in their own language. But there is truth in their words, which we must find for ourselves in our own language. There is no way to understand it in the language of another, because everyone refracts the truth through his own prism, but in essence we are all talking about the same thing. It is like an Italian and a Chinese speaking the same thing, but in different languages, and arguing over who is right.
