God is.
God is what is. God is infinite. Humans are finite and will never understand God. God is a human concept as far as we in our limited humanity can tell. We know not how to speak to the elephant or star. Everything is part of God. Jesus Christ was a human being deified by the ignorant ancients and used to estabilish societal order. Organized religion is a means those in power have extolled to control the masses. Life after death means every one of your atoms continues to be a part of the universe only re-formatted.
Turning you will and life over to the care of God (as in 12 Steps) keeps you from making your SELF the most important thing in the universe and being miserable because you really aren't.
It has been calculated there are >8*10E63 ways to stack a deck of 52 playing cards. The human genome has been counted (so science says) at somewhere around 3,000,000,000 genes. A hell of a deck of cards but still finite and limited to one itty bitty planet (as far as we know). The way I understand God (all proper names in the English language begin with a capital) is I don't understand.
God does not want me to be miserable.

Satan came into being ONLY because of Christianity so if it's bullshit so is Satan and the Sun isn't the only star.

To clarify, Satanism isn't about worshipping Satan as a God. Satan represents the "seven deadly sins", all of which are essentially hard-wired in human nature. He's more of a symbol of our beliefs than a God.

God is the Force outside of our perceived 4 dimensions that created the dimension of existence, creating the dimension time, among the other 3 spatial dimensions, among the other dimensions we cannot perceive, and was the catalyst outside of the existence of all matter.

What are your beliefs regarding who Jesus was and his relation to god and us?

Jesus is the son of God, in the flesh, in relation to us, a (rabbi) teacher. (my belief is regardless who you are, you show a teacher respect.)

What are your beliefs regarding other religions?

Depending on the beginnings of the religion, it is either a branch of the first early religions, Hebrew, Islam, ect, which broke from tradition (as is human nature in all things), or some form of ideas borrowed from the early religions, hybridized.

I believe we have a choice. Fate exists as that choice. You choose to believe in God, or choose not to. The importance of this is diversity through fate. Thank God we have choice, otherwise we would all be the same. Even though one of the objectives of Christ was to redeem the human soul, I find it a blessing that there is option, so I enjoy ideas and beliefs not related to my own while at the same time defending mine own. That's why I am on Totse.

Is there someone here that actually wants everyone to be the same?

True, then again there's that whole joke about women being evil because they are the product of time and money, time equaling money making money squared equal women and seeing is how money is the root of evil money squared cancels the root meaning

women=evil

If you think about what I said, there is at least some truth to it. The major religions don't actually worship god, but instead use the idea of god to get their followers to fork over money. I have yet to see any god do anything for anyone besides provide a crutch of false hope to the meek.

The last time I checked, prayers were not accepted as a form of payment at the grocery store or car dealership. Praying to god for a new jet ski does not get you a jet ski. $8,000 gets you a new jet ski.
