I was raised in a southern baptist, christian household and at the age of 25 I have been sitting back wondering do christians even acknowledge that there are other planets and galaxies in the universe. Is our God just a thing that created our little section, and theres a God that created the other parts of the not so near galaxies? What if 'God' was a job title? and what we experience as humans and everything we know comes from and is a product of our 1 creator... But there is another experience that. WAIT!!Does every single being, on every planet, in every galaxy, that doesn't Believe in God go to hell? Is there 1 hell for every planet and galaxy?
IDK I think some can believe that there is 1 singular God that made the Entire universe and the others too if we ever discover them. But growing up even hearing that the world, our world or maybe our singular planet was created in 6 days is crazy. Everything just popped up and evolution doesn't exist are statements that I have heard and thought processes that I was supposedly made to believe.
I've also just been going through a phase of "Do I even need religion?" but thats probably another post for later.

life without god or something to live for is so hard sometimes
i grew up christian but left the church when i was 15 bc i just feel like i can’t believe in something i cant see or feel.
i’ve been trying to pray & believe in something bigger than myself but the moment something goes wrong it makes me doubt that there’s actually a god that is listening to me.
could someone help me, if you believe in god..or if you don’t. what helps you believe? and if you don’t believe, what helps you on your hard days when you want help from someone bigger than yourself?
it’s kinda depressing believing in absolutely nothing but i can’t force myself to believe, ya know?

I’ve found myself thinking about God a lot as of late. I didn’t grow up in the Church, and right now I’m not on a distinctive quest for answers experiencing feelings of desperation. EDIT: I am actually so lost but not looking for answers from God necessarily? — I simply am just noticing God everywhere. And when I start explaining these thoughts and feelings to my mother or friends about how much I’ve been thinking about Godliness, I always start by saying:
“Well I’ve just been thinking about how God is everywhere; like in the taste of this chocolate cake or….”
Once I spent a year or more where I didn’t cry at all. I can’t remember if I even laughed from an authentic place at this time period? Because for several of those months I have no memories.
But nowadays– I look up at the moon in cold January and shed a tear because how lovely is the moon? And when watching a beautiful movie because how lovely is that? And hearing that song the 400th time but still tearing up because suddenly it‘s like you’re hearing it for the first time? And crying four times in one yoga class because i just cant help it, everything; even things unknown, are releasing.
I don’t know God personally. But I know where God lives; like in the taste of this chocolate cake. or a cold refreshing breeze on my face when I’m feeling too hot, in the laughter of my loved ones, in the juicy green grass, in how I feel when I’m bathing in endless ocean waves or dancing with my baby cousin. Humble and mindful and indulgent in it all. I dont have to search very hard.
