depends on your point of view I think zid. edit: My pov is that i want to move away from locating too much power within humans and rather head towards what truxjw is saying - that worship is part of a human concept whereas the idea of there being an unnameable unknown type of spirit releases us from what is we already know to move towards what we don't know

[bringing this part out...] " releases us from what is we already know to move towards what we don't know..."
Uhm, that's also a function of plain old "curiosity" - which most research scientists have in abundance, without the need to believe in some sky-spirit...

I think the act of looking to the sky is part of the human and divine journey and yes i agree curiosity plays a big part in this.

Ok true what has been said but if my mind can't comprehend nothing from nothing perhaps a unloving, unknowing type of sky god or creature can exist. We have an earth that is predicated on death. I dont see anyone in paradise petting great white sharks eating seeweed. I am just trying to get people smarter than me to help answer deep thoughts I have and for some reason I think there can be something greater than my mind can grasps out there.

Heh, heh....
If your mind "can't comprehend nothing from nothing..."
Try thinking about "forever" - eternity - for a week...

Maybe he is flawed not all knowing and looks at us the same as I look at ants?
On occasion . . . the ants get to sneak up on a human, sting the shit out of him, and make his ass itch for a week.
I'm looking forward to that part . . .
