hi Jordj,
I am on my 1st Day of recovery and I really don’t need to enter an argument about GOD, the existence, and the meaning of life on my first day.
from your writing, it seems Jordan Peterson had an impact on you,
it doesn’t matter how many connections you have or what impact you had on others it is just a distraction that keeps you moving on in life.
again I quote Woody Allen:
“I don’t want to achieve immortality through my work; I want to achieve immortality through not dying. I don’t want to live on in the hearts of my countrymen; I want to live on in my apartment.”
You wrote
“I also don’t believe in God or an afterlife for that matter. What I do believe is that is better to act as if a god exists.”
No, it is not, what is important is the truth either he exists or not, no need to create an imaginary superpower that intervenes in your favor or against it, no need to wait for the solutions from above. we are on our own.
