Sorry it has taken me a bit to respond... I had some active comment sections today and I try to be engaged there. A couple of things... When I say I am not religious... I don't follow any revealed, prophetic, etc based religions. Nothing organized. Those shift so much and it is easily proven they do that at this point they are primarily works of man. Some people find comfort in them. They tend to cause discomfort in me. I wrote a few times about the closest things religion wise to explain me... here are a few you can read or not read. They are old so I am not trying to solicit votes. I don't tend to do that. The little religion that history has forgotten... Deism (not to be confused with Theism) - 10 months ago... explains my thinking best I think If reality were only a simulation how would WE the simulants be able to know for sure? Outcast, Hermit, different wiring, or possibly genetics... Am I intentionally obstinate? (some profanity... oh no) Then there is what I wrote a few days ago that also ties into this...

I know Christianity the best and I've studied it extensively and have many different bible versions. If I wanted to trash it and bash it I could do a pretty thorough job. That is not my goal though, and I don't see it as necessarily beneficial to do that. I don't mind people practicing it or any religion until they try to force it upon me or they make laws based upon it that force things upon me. I will fight in those situations.
