But isn't it nice to belong to a church that has all the answers? You can stop seeking.
Are you saying it's a lifelong process?
"To learn as we grow old the secrets of our souls"
Question, by the Moody Blues
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=epEBm7iiU-sAs Jbjad mentioned, your definition of God only a works in pantheism. Or panentheism which means God in everything and everything within God. What is existence but objectification? In the realm of God there are no objects. God is not a thing. God is no-thing, or nothing. So one can say that God does not exist. Fine, but doesn't that also mean I don't exist?
Now, how do you wrap your mind around that? You don't because you can't. The world we inhabit is objective. Our language imposes a subject-object duality on our thinking. So we invent myths to explain God.
Are the myths true? If you define "true" as delivering a better outcome if you believe the myth, then yes.
The reason most of us are on this board is that the Mormon myth did not deliver a good outcome. It claims to be a one size fits all religion, but it isn't. You have to be a certain type.
