Whether there's nobody out there, or it's turtles all the way down, doesn't change the fact that we're all here.
With each other.
We can make something nice from that, or we can fuck it up.
It doesn't matter who is correct about what holds the sun up or who keeps the serpent from eating it, or whether anyone made it in the first place.
It matters how we treat each other and what we build.

""Everybody’s faith is different. One of the great myths in religious groups is the one that says that everyone within a given group believes the same thing. That isn’t even possible. The mere fact of being a human being with your own brain rules out the possibility you could think exactly the same way as anyone else.""

@AskTheDevil @MLClark @Jorro @thewebrecluse So if were all different and we're all reflecting the piece of the truth we understand, then we're all doing ok.
@Ulf @NiveusLepus @AskTheDevil @MLClark @thewebrecluse yes!! Absolutely!! This place feels different, it is different, it is quite an achievement to create a place like this , it is hard work and commitment, sometimes I fear that if #coso gets bigger we might lose that but I think we have enough mature people to maintain it this way , I wish more people could see this platform and move here , we need to grow too to survive.
@Ulf @AskTheDevil @MLClark @Jorro @thewebrecluse Very well said. All life carries the spark of the divine within them.
It's a unique light that will never come again and is worth cherishing.

Also, as an aside, polytheists, represent! ^-^
@NiveusLepus @Ulf @AskTheDevil @MLClark @thewebrecluse excellent !!!

Getting deep in the weeds, I'm technically a henotheist. ^_^

Pagan here but I can translate my thoughts to Contemporary Monotheism. 😀
It is not just that we each see different facets of God. We are the diamonds, each unique, and we reflect His constant Light differently.
So even if you think a person is "bad" they are still reflecting that Light, however imperfectly, and thus are deserving of love.
This site has a lot of people who live that concept.
