So many things don't make sense if there is a god.

Unless you're hoping that there is a God, why do you dwell on this?

I sense an internal conflict in his mind, wheels turning in circular logic like the hamster on a treadmill where progress eludes him, thus the endless pursuit must continue.

@ knife wielder
Go to Nepal with those monks in the Himalayan mountains and lock yourself in the temple with them because apparently they figure out some deep shit and find nirvana.
Or, take LSD.

I'm saying we'd be living in a problem free universe if there was a god. If that's "dwelling" then so be it.

I'm leaning more on the agnostic side.

Atheists are convinced they know the answer. Believers from all religions are convinced they know the answer. The agnostic admits he doesn't and can't know the answer.

We'll always ponder on the fate that awaits us all beyond the one way door where nobody can peek, tell us, then go back through. To the human mind, not knowing our fate is often intolerable.
The penalty for having a great mind is the loss of ignorance and the knowledge we'll die and enough to make us envy a simple carefree deer in the woods who only worries about the next five minutes.

There's no Heaven or Hell, no God or Devil waiting to punish or reward us. There is however karma and you need "the bad stuff" in life or nothing good would ever really be good. Yin and Yang ect...... Beyond all of that I'm not sure I haven't gotten that far yet.

No. No, there isn't. There's no woo of any kind. Not the baked-brain sandbox kind, not the chakras and auras and karma kind, either. None of it. No Jeezis, no Yah-way, no Allaaaaah-lalalalalala shamalamadingdong. No Luke Skywalker, no Howdy-Doody. No Heaven, no hell, no sin.

Makes no difference if you try to be a good person because you don't wanna fry for eternity, or if you try to be a good person because you don't wanna get whammied by karma. They're both different ways of just playing possum to avoid some kind of cosmic ass whuppin' from one kind of boogeyman or another. Well, there's no cosmic ass whuppin'. There's no boogeyman. And being good because you're afraid there is? That's not being good for the sake of being a good person. Which means it isn't goodness at all.

I used to have views like yours but you’re missing something, you don’t know whether god exists, nobody does... It’s easy to realise humans are incapable of understanding the creation of the universe, we never will be...

Your god is a mute god with no answers.
Science is mute about the creation of the universe, sure there’s the Big Bang theory but what created the Big Bang If that’s what happened... Who/what created atoms? Are we living in an impossible fluke of time, space and matter coming together perfectly? I dunno...
